With autumn already upon us, the hours of daylight are getting shorter. For motorists, this means driving with increased caution, as visibility deteriorates in the early evening. But this is not a problem for drivers of Opel cars. Adaptive, glare-free Intelli-Lux LED® technology can be found in all classes of car from the German brand, starting with the newest generation of the Opel Corsa and the eye-catching Opel Mokka. Optionally equipped with the latest generation of Intelli-Lux LED® Pixel Light are the Opel Astra and the Opel Astra Sports Tourer, as well as the Opel Grandland.

Innovation for small cars: New Corsa with further developed Intelli-Lux LED® Matrix Light

Opel has demonstrated how it makes innovations available to all by offering the Corsa small car with Intelli-Lux LED® Matrix Light since 2019. The engineers are continuously working on further developments and the new-generation model naturally benefits from this commitment. As a result, the system in the new Corsa features 14 individually controllable LED elements – as in the Mokka – which ensure a stadium-bright driving experience that “cuts out” other road users even more precisely than before.

The Opel Astra and the Opel Grandland take Intelli-Lux LED® technology to the next level. With a total of 168 LED elements (84 per headlamp), Intelli-Lux LED® Pixel Light always produces a seamless light pattern, without dazzling other road users. The ultra-slim headlamps “cut” oncoming vehicles out of the light cone with pinpoint accuracy within milliseconds. The remaining areas remain fully illuminated with high beam. The Astra and Grandland therefore set the benchmark in their respective classes.

Intelli-Lux LED® technology is superior to xenon or conventional lighting systems because it is more precise and more powerful. As soon as the car leaves urban areas, the matrix headlamps automatically switch to high beam and continuously adjust the length and distribution of the light cone. Other road users are not dazzled, while the rest of the road and its surroundings remain brightly illuminated. The LED segments switch back on automatically as soon as the system detects no lights from other vehicles.

Thanks to Intelli-Lux LED®, Opel drivers can also see objects at the roadside much earlier as well. This gives them more time to react accordingly, for example, when animals unexpectedly cross the road.

In addition to increasing safety, Intelli-Lux LED® systems also look good. In the new Opel Corsa, Mokka, Astra and Grandland, the headlamps are an integral component of the Opel Vizor, the characteristic brand front fascia.

Bright as day, highly efficient: Opel's full LED lighting systems

Opel offers similarly efficient and modern LED systems in other models. The new Opel Corsa, for example, is offered with a full LED system comprising headlamps, daytime running lights, indicators and rear lights. In the Opel Crossland, adaptive full-LED headlamps with cornering light, high beam assist and automatic range control are available as an option.

Opel's state-of-the-art LED systems are also more durable and energy-efficient than conventional headlamps. Compared to halogen, LED bulbs use more than 80 per cent less energy while producing the same light output.
