Opel is attending the 2016 Paris Auto Show with a host of world premieres that include the all-new Ampera-e.

Based on its North American sibling, the Chevrolet Bolt, the zero-emission hatch promises to offer a range of over 400 km (~250 miles). Setting it in motion is an electric motor, fed by a battery pack mounted under the floor, rated at 204 HP and 360 Nm (266 lb-ft) of torque.

“With the new Ampera-e, we continue the largest model offensive in the history of our company. Our show exhibit clearly shows the direction of development: the Ampera-e proves that electric mobility is fully feasible for everyday use and is also lots of fun. The models MOKKA X, Zafira and KARL ROCKS expand our portfolio with the ideal touch of adventure and individuality“, said Karl-Thomas Neumann, the brand’s CEO.

Another world premiere at Opel’s stand in the French capital is the Karl Rocks, a jacked up version of the regular model, which features a rugged exterior with robust bumpers, integrated skid plates, black front and rear wheelhouse moldings, silver roof rails and 15-inch bi-color alloy wheels. The practical hatch retains its five-door and five-seat layout and offers as much as 1,000 liters of cargo space, with the rear seats folded down.

Unveiled last week, the Opel Cascada Supreme, comes with modest exterior tweaks, offering three different body colors, and adorned with a black look for the grille and side mirror casings. The special edition of the convertible sits on 20-inch alloy wheels and gets unique interior trim, inspired by the GT Concept.

The facelifted version of the Mokka, which adds the ‘X’ suffix, will be on display in Paris as well, after it made its premiere during the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, earlier this year, where it will be joined by the facelifted Zafira, presented this spring.

Opel continues to keep mum on the next generation Insignia, but considering that various prototypes of the car have been spotted testing in different parts of Europe for quite some time now (in North America too, where it will go on sale as the Buick Regal) we won’t be surprised if it breaks cover in Paris.
