Three electric new arrivals will be on show at Auto Zürich in Zurich, Switzerland, from 5 to 8 November.
Key points
- In Zurich, Opel is showing the STX electric estate concept, the GSE 27FE Formula E race car and the Corsa GSE.
- According to the manufacturer, only the Corsa GSE can already be ordered; Opel does not state a price in its show announcement.
- The STX Concept is a design study. Opel gives no production start, price or range for it.
Opel is using Auto Zürich 2026 for three Swiss premieres: an electric estate concept, the GSE 27FE Formula E race car and the Corsa GSE, which is already available to order. For car buyers, one distinction matters: the STX is a design and technology study, while the Corsa GSE has been announced as a specific model that can be ordered.
What Opel is showing in Zurich
Auto Zürich is open to the public from 5 to 8 November 2026 at the Messe Zürich exhibition grounds in Zurich, Switzerland. Opel has announced several Swiss premieres. The focus is on the STX Concept, an outlook on an electric estate car, the new GSE 27FE for Formula E, and the Corsa GSE. The brand is also bringing models including the Astra Sports Tourer, Grandland Electric AWD and Frontera Hybrid. The information on Opel’s presence comes from the Opel/Stellantis press release of 29 October 2026 (in German). The official Auto Zürich event page (in German) also lists the show for 5 to 8 November.
STX Concept remains a study
The “Sports Tourer eXperimental Concept” is meant to show how Opel envisages a future electric estate car. The manufacturer highlights an active aerodynamics system with moving elements at the rear, which are designed to influence the airflow. Opel describes the vehicle as a show car and as a preview of its further design development.
For anyone interested, the line between a study and a purchase offer is crucial: the announcement gives neither a market launch nor a price, a range or production specifications for the STX Concept. The study shown at the fair is therefore not the announcement of an Opel estate car that can be ordered. Opel says the concept previously celebrated its world premiere in Paris; Zurich is its Swiss premiere.
GSE 27FE: racing technology, not a road car
The GSE 27FE is Opel’s Formula E race car for the GEN4 generation. Opel cites permanent all-wheel drive, more than 800 hp and regenerative power of up to 700 kW. These are manufacturer figures for the competition vehicle. They cannot be transferred to a road car and describe neither the charging power nor the consumption of any Opel production model.
The Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo mentioned in the announcement is also a virtual vehicle in the video game. It should not be confused with the road-going Corsa GSE or the GSE 27FE for Formula E.
Corsa GSE: concrete performance data
The Corsa GSE is the part of the presentation with a direct purchase link: Opel says the model can already be ordered. The manufacturer cites 207 kW (281 hp), 345 Nm of torque and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. Opel gives the top speed as 180 km/h.
For combined WLTP consumption (WLTP is the EU standard test procedure for consumption and emissions), Opel states 16.0 to 17.0 kWh per 100 kilometres and 0 g CO₂ per kilometre; the stated CO₂ class is A. As with all WLTP figures, actual consumption may depend on driving style and other conditions. The press release contains no purchase price and no range figure. Anyone considering an order should therefore check the current price list, equipment and range directly with an Opel dealer.
Dates and opening hours
According to Opel, the public days start at 10 a.m. each day. On Thursday and Friday, 5 and 6 November, the show is open until 9 p.m.; on Saturday and Sunday, 7 and 8 November, until 7 p.m. A separate media day for journalists is scheduled for 4 November. On that day, Opel plans an appearance with chief designer Florian Theis at its stand in Hall 2 at 2.30 p.m.
