Meet the revamped Opel Grandland: a striking German SUV aiming to dethrone Chinese rivals
Opel has completely revamped their Grandland SUV. Image: Supplied Opel has completely revamped its Grandland SUV incorporating many of the features first seen in the Experimental concept car and now introduced on a production model. It's bulkier and more angular than the outgoing model, which was more of a wallflower than extrovert thanks to 173mm of extra length, 54mm extra width and standing 19mm higher. Exterior They have introduced a new execution of the Opel brand face: the 3D Vizor that's combined with the illuminated Opel Griffin logo made more prominent using Edge Light Technology. Making its debut on the Grandland is Intelli-Lux Pixel Matrix HD with 51,200 elements for high-definition light distribution. Based on traffic, a camera detects oncoming objects which then cuts them out providing a brighter and more homogeneous light pattern. There's a funky welcome and goodbye animation with graphical projections in front of the vehicle. At the rear of the Grandland the distinctive compass lighting signature with the first integration of the illuminated 'OPEL' wordmark, also makes its debut while the LED brake light bar stretches across its full width. There's no more chrome lettering as Opel's Greenovation approach replaces it with embossed lettering. Standing on 19-inch alloys, cladded elements around the wheels and lower body and combined with a two-tone floating roof the family SUV is one of the more attractive ones around.

Next Stay Close ✕ The Opel Grandland receives the distinctive compass lighting signature with the first integration of the illuminated 'OPEL' wordmark. Image: Supplied Interior The interior has also been thoroughly upgraded to a more modern and neater look and feel although there were some elements around the centre console especially that felt less than premium. Behind the steering wheel is what Opel calls a discrete 10-inch instrument cluster that neatly fits under the top of the dashboard without dominating your view. In the short time we got to drive it the 16-inch infotainment system provided clear and crisp graphics and seemed easy enough to operate. They have also introduced Pure Mode that reduces the content on the screens and head-up display providing a less distracting experience. Fortunately frequently used settings like climate control and volume can still be accessed by physical buttons. The new Pixel Box has a translucent glass face behind which is a wireless charger and USB ports allowing you to keep an eye on the charging process and preventing the phone from sliding around and falling out. Single powertrain While the platform allows for New Energy Vehicle set-ups, locally it is powered by the company's PureTech turbo-charged petrol engine with 134kW and 300Nm coupled to a six speed automatic transmission powering the front wheels. For some sporty driving there are now paddle shifters. The GS Line for now is the only model range available. Behind thee steering wheel of the Opel Grandland is a discrete 10-inch instrument cluster. Image: Supplied Driving Climbing into the cabin the ergonomic AGR seats provide a very comfortable perch. AGR is the German 'Campaign for Healthier Backs' and the seats (the driver's seat is ventilated and features a massage function) have lateral comfort adjustment thanks to two pneumatic pockets located in the backrest's side bolsters. There's also an Intelli-Seat feature in the front seats, a slot that relieves pressure on the tailbone on long journeys. We'll be able to pass better judgement on the Grandland's suspension set-up when we get it for a full review, but it's fitted with frequency selective damping (FSD) technology used in the chassis. FSD creates a second hydraulic circuit in the damper chamber to mechanically adapt the damping force about the frequency. Depending on the situation, road surface conditions and driving style, it enables different damping characteristics. Brief driving impressions through Fourways towards Kyalami though were fairly positive. Once it has reached its ideal rev-range it powers along nicely despite being a bit sluggish on take-off. The driving position is comfortable and the steering wheel rake and reach adjustable. Safety Fitted with Intelli-Drive 2.0 system it receives Automatic Cruise Control with Stop and Go function, Extended Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Adaptation and In Crash Braking, semi-automatic lane-change assist and Recommended Speed Adaption as well as a rear-view camera with an automatic cleaning function. In a market that's regularly flooded with new SUVs here's hoping that another German rival can take on the Chinese that seem to have a strong foothold. It comes with a five year/100,000km warranty with Roadside Assistance, a five year/90,000km service plan and a 12 year/unlimited kilometre anticorrosion warranty. Pricing GS Line 1,6T AT: R789,900.00

Push for digitisation is a global threat
The hidden agenda behind digital IDs are being kept from us, says the writer. Image: Stock Images There has been a noticeable, aggressive push for digitisation around the World by unelected global technocrats and philanthropists. The World Economic Forum, the United Nations and the World Health Organization have become a breeding ground for socialist, Marxist ideologies, and the writing is on the wall for all of us. Individuals such as Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, George Soros and Klaus Schwab, to name a few, have become the engineers of global chaos, fear, control and manipulation. Lockdowns are being pushed while profiting from vaccines, and policies are being funded which destroy economies and mental health. These madmen don't just spread viruses, they infect society with fear, division and digital enslavement. They called it a Pandemic, but the real virus wears a suit, sits on panels, funds media narratives and engineers crises from behind the scenes. The CDC receives millions from the Gates Foundation, Pfizer, and other Big Pharma giants through the CDC Foundation, which bypasses Congressional oversight. These are not conspiracy theories! It's happening before our very eyes! These are hazardous people, playing perilous games. To top it all, central banks are quietly building a new financial prison, where programmable money will allow these psychopaths to control how and when your money is spent! Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ Do not be fooled for one second when governments around the World are telling us that digitising our home affairs system to enable digital ID, will 'protect us from fraudsters', or 'flush out illegal these initiatives all sound perfectly normal and carries a degree of credibility, the hidden agenda behind digital IDs are being kept from us. It's all a smoke screen, and we are busy falling for it. Newly developed Banking services, such as facial recognition, are just another tool with which globalists are herding us all together into the pen of digital nightmares! Lastly, Elites aren't buying tech stocks. They are buying soil, seeds and water rights. When inflation hits, supply chains break, and war breaks out, land wins every time! No wonder Bill Gates is buying so much farm land in the USA, among other nefarious things such as spraying fresh produce with chemicals to make it look fresher for longer, generically modifying our foods, injecting vaccines into live stock and spraying harmful chemicals into the Earth's atmosphere to try block out the sun- who knows where all of this is going to end! My best guess is that Agenda 2030 is front and centre of these evil people's minds. Vaccine mandates, digital ID, carbon emissions tracking, social credit scores like those being used in all leads to one destination: unimaginable, irreversible global, digital imprisonment. The only losers in this story are you and I, the average tax-paying citizen! It's time to resist! It's time to start asking more questions! When the DA's Leon Shreiber starts mentioning Digitisation of Home affairs, be careful not to get lost in the smokescreen of 'betterment for everyone'- we all know, or should take note, of the DA's ties with the World Economic Forum.

How Musk and Trump's face-off may affect US democracy
THERE is a raging war of words between Elon Musk and US President Donald J Trump. Image: AFP THERE is a raging war of words between Elon Musk and the Empire, or President Donald J Trump, to be exact. Musk, the X proprietor, is the perfect backdrop against which a drama of such enormous proportions can play out. A rivalry billed as a tussle between the richest man in the world against the most powerful president in the world, their public spat over social media may be the terminal episode of the empire games. Whatever the deeper underlying causes of this tragicomedy are, they have profound unintended consequences. For one, and most importantly, how far can money be permitted to influence or taint with impropriety the sanctity of elections and their outcomes? Put differently, in the determination whether or not the outcomes of a general election met the golden standard of free and fair, at what point should the effect of extraneous factors be considered or ignored? In any other regulated setting including a competitive process in an application for employment, tendering for a public service or a hearing in a judicial process, among others, is forbidden for a bidding candidate or indeed a subject of adjudication to offer money, sexual favours or for that matter, any other morally repugnant incentive of value to distort the outcomes of the bid or enquiry. Such conduct will be adjudged to have violated the propriety of the process, therefore rendering the outcome wholly unfair and illegal. Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ Musk did not invent the system that produced Trump or DJT, his favourite endearment for the President. Indeed, he has now formed a political party of his own called America Party, a creation that has triggered violent quakes in the American political establishment. He plans to end the stranglehold of duopoly in US politics and, to the extent possible, re-imagine the kingmaker dynamic inside Congress and the Senate. The Donald has been truly mortified by its announcement. He took to Truth Social to fire a volley of accusations and subliminal threats. His anxiety is understandable. It is more about the unbending resolve of its founder as well as the new party's disruption potential on the MAGA universe. All that Trump felt constrained from voicing is that until Musk explains how he intends to be free from the Israeli lobby, his party will soon be captured like the Democrats and the Republicans. The spectre of money raises a number of philosophical questions which neither Trump nor the entire 'collective west' can satisfactorily answer. This is because the concept of democracy as a facet of the supreme will of the people has no equal. No matter the country, it can be called by any other name. Its sanctity, however, lies in the fact that it periodically expresses the will of the people sought to be governed by it. Yet, the contraption loudly touted as democracy is a perverted set of mangled processes designed to express the will of those who can buy their way into it and own it. On the one hand, there is Musk, the billionaire class and the wealthy superpacs who insist that their voting dollars should return a favourable political purchase. They are pitted against the rest of the voting masses, on the other hand, who erroneously believe that their vote alone is the ultimate determiner of the affairs of the sovereign. Perverted to this deplorable extent, the 2024 US Presidential elections delivered the setting that presaged the battle of the two titans. Musk dutifully bought the elections for Trump. And in the case of South Africa, Rob Hersov boasts of having bought Ramaphosa the ANC presidency with bags and bags of money so as to sway the ANC Mpumalanga provincial delegates against Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma. That both men had similar expectations from their purchases is not in doubt. Yet, whether or not their respective objectives were similarly realised is unclear. In the case of Musk, it is a subject of public knowledge that Trump disappointed his benefactor. For Rob Hersov, however, the results are moot, making his appearances on local podcasts and media broadcasts always indignant and accusatory. It would seem, therefore, that democracy is the direct opposite of meritocracy. Small wonder, then, that more often than not, its mechanics tend to catapult the most incompetent candidates to the apogee of power. With practised dexterity, the benefactors of our version of democracy easily find and pay for those who are amenable to purvey the most insensitive political instincts on behalf of their unseen overlords. Could we then be persuaded to conclude that in a Trump versus Musk duel, there will be an outright winner and an outright loser? Hard to tell. In this battle without rules, no matter who wins, democracy, or that capitalist market for people's votes, is bound to lose. There are two possible outcomes in this depressing spectacle. Either Trump will win spectacularly or, as the bookies tend to predict, may win somewhat less spectacularly. Whichever would be the case, may the less deplorable version of winner triumph. But the golden rule of the casino is indisputable. The House always wins. Musk may be bringing a Twitter knife to a nuclear gun fight. But he already knows that. The America Party is an agency meant to lend legitimacy to his fight and, the CIA/FBI deep state permitting, equalise the rules of engagement. To be fair, Trump has been fighting a very different war, making the spats on social media with Musk an irritating distraction. Ever since he descended from the escalators in the Trump Tower to declare his presidential ambitions, Donald J Trump has had a very different interpretation of what the power of the US empire is or should be. Or, as it had become his go-to refrain, how over time such power has been used or misused, as the case may be, by different incumbents in that most consequential office in the unipolar order. He had planned to place the imprimatur of state in the hands of the President and dictate to the world from the intimidating heights of the Oval Office. His disdain for constant referrals to Congress and the Senate is amply demonstrated by a profusion of orders regulating mundane issues of state and the not-so-mundane others. This complex manoeuvre of fusing the power of the President with the might of the empire became apparent in the second stint of Donald as the 47th President. It was quick, rapturous and overarching. For a politician whose cunning is concealed by his insouciant theatrics, and his emotional and intelligence quotient referred to in derisive terms, he mastered a sweeping stroke that will forever haunt the politics of the United States of America. In one fell swoop, he turned a President into an Emperor. As for Musk, according to the restriction found in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the US Constitution preventing him from becoming a President of the United States, of America, his field of strategy becomes narrowed notwithstanding its grand ambitions. Between kingmaker and filibuster, it may also provide the ultimate cover for its founder against political persecution. For the tech billionaire, however, he has to deal with the biggest elephant in the room. But his ability to do so is limited by idiosyncratic factors. For one, the cardinal sin of throwing money at elections is a Musk problem. And this war is unfolding on X, Musk's media mouthpiece. This probably means that Musk is himself the biggest elephant in his own room. * Ambassador Bheki Gila is a Barrister-at-Law. ** The views expressed here do not reflect those of the Sunday Independent, Independent Media, or IOL.
