Opel STX Concept: Neues Kombi-Flaggschiff? Opel setzt auf dynamische Studie
Klappe zu, Kombi tot? Von wegen! Auch wenn die Generation ? offenbar lieber SUV fährt, lebt der Kombinationskraftwagen im Elektrozeitalter weiter. Zum Beispiel mit einer neuen Studie von Opel.
Opel is generating excitement for a new type of van at the Paris Salon, showcasing the STX Concept study. While the German automaker is busy developing the next-generation Corsa, the focus is shifting to the upper end of the model range, where the Insignia previously resided. The Rüsselsheimers have refined their design language, incorporating more prominent LED lines and illuminated lamellae in the so-called Vizor face.
Unlike conventional vans that prioritize maximum cargo space, the STX Concept emphasizes dynamism, particularly at the rear, resembling a shooting break. The concept suggests that a new electric architecture, combined with all-wheel drive, could enable speeds exceeding 200 km/h. However, the STX Concept is not just a designer's exercise; Opel is experimenting with new technologies, including active aerodynamics.
These features, such as side blades that extend the flank at high speeds and an extendable diffuser, are designed to improve efficiency. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with optimized wheels tested in a wind tunnel for enhanced performance.
