Opel: price overview of the German manufacturer's cars

Opel is one of the leading car manufacturers in Europe, offering a wide range of cars, from compact city cars to crossovers and vans. German entrepreneur Adam Opel founded the company in Rüsselsheim, Germany in 1862. It initially manufactured sewing machines and later bicycles. Adam Opel's sons, inspired by the success of Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler's cars, decided to start producing cars. The first model was the Opel Lutzmann, built on the chassis of the French company Darracq. The next TC 4/12 PS appeared only in 1909. But only by 1960 the company managed to become one of the largest car manufacturers in Europe, producing such popular cars as Kadett, Rekord, Manta and Ascona.

In the following years, the company had to endure the oil crisis, as well as financial difficulties. And in 2017, PSA Group (Stellantis) bought Opel from General Motors. Now it is not only one of the leading car manufacturers, but also the official partner of the football club Borussia Dortmund. Opel is a story of German quality, innovation and affordability. For more than 160 years, Opel cars have been giving people the freedom of movement and the joy of driving.
