New Opel Grandland Wins the 2025 DVN Award with Intelli-Lux HD LED® Headlights!

Opel Grandland Proves Its Innovation Not Just in Features, but Also in Driving Safety!

German automaker Opel continues to make waves with the latest addition to its innovative vehicle lineup—the new Opel Grandland. Standing out with cutting-edge lighting technology, the new Grandland has been honored with the “Best Headlights” award at the Driving Vision News (DVN) Awards 2025 for its Intelli-Lux HD LED® headlights. Recognized for their advanced adaptability and high-resolution illumination, these headlights have set a new benchmark for road safety.

At the DVN Symposium in Munich, Philipp Roeckl, Stellantis’ Global Leader for Complex Lighting, accepted the award on behalf of Opel, stating:
“With the Intelli-Lux HD LED® adaptive and glare-free headlight system, we have developed a groundbreaking lighting solution for the new Opel Grandland. Featuring over 50,000 independent pixels, this technology ensures high-resolution and situation-optimized light distribution under all conditions. It enhances not only driver comfort but also ensures the safety of everyone on the road.”

Industry Recognition for Opel’s Advanced Lighting Technology

Opel’s Intelli-Lux HD LED® technology has become a hallmark of excellence, gaining industry recognition once again at the DVN Awards. The expert panel at Driving Vision News acknowledged the innovation behind these adaptive, high-resolution headlights, confirming their superiority in automotive lighting.

Enhancing Driver and Road Safety

The award-winning Intelli-Lux HD LED® headlights are designed not just for visibility but also for optimal safety. The system uses a forward-facing camera to detect oncoming vehicles and automatically adjusts the light distribution, ensuring other drivers are not blinded. Unlike conventional matrix lighting systems, Opel’s technology reacts faster and more precisely, creating a “light tunnel” that minimizes dark spots while maximizing road illumination.

Scientific studies support the safety advantages of this technology. Compared to traditional halogen headlights, Intelli-Lux HD LED® headlights enable drivers to detect obstacles 30 to 40 meters earlier at speeds of 80 km/h, giving an additional one to two seconds of reaction time—potentially preventing accidents.

Next-Level Lighting Features and Smart Adjustments

Opel has fine-tuned every aspect of its adaptive lighting system, taking it to the next level. The Intelli-Lux HD LED® headlights now include:

• Fully Digital Light Cone Adjustments: With over 50,000 pixels, the system precisely directs illumination based on driving conditions.
• Enhanced Cornering Light: Additional light modules activate when turning, reducing blind spots and improving visibility.
• Adaptive Glare Reduction in Bad Weather: The system automatically adjusts brightness to reduce reflections on wet roads.
• Traffic Sign Recognition: Intelli-Lux HD LED® headlights dim the light intensity on road signs to prevent glare.
• Tourist Mode: Ensures full lighting functionality even in countries where traffic flows on the left side.
• Animated Welcome & Farewell Graphics: Adds a futuristic touch with projected light animations on the ground.

Beyond Headlights: Opel’s Striking Lighting Identity

The new Grandland isn’t just about functional innovation—it also sets new standards in design. One of the most striking features is the illuminated 3D Vizor, which seamlessly integrates:

• The Opel Blitz Emblem in Light
• A Signature Edge Lighting Effect that runs across the entire vehicle front

This distinctive lighting signature enhances Opel’s modern and futuristic design language, making the new Grandland stand out, especially at night.

With its award-winning Intelli-Lux HD LED® headlights, cutting-edge safety features, and bold new design, the 2025 Opel Grandland reaffirms the brand’s commitment to innovation, technology, and driving excellence.
