Opel, which combines German engineering with superior driving pleasure, will present its latest product lineup at the Brussels Motor Show from January 9–18, 2026.

Opel is set for a strong start to 2026 by hosting the world premiere of the new Astra and Astra Sports Tourer at the Brussels Motor Show.
