“We are delighted to receive this award,” said Vanessa Repp, Vice President of Future Product at Opel and Vauxhall. “The unanimous vote shows that Opel offers pioneering technologies that make driving more enjoyable and accessible.”

Models featuring ChatGPT include the Opel Mokka, Grandland, Corsa, Astra, Astra Sports Tourer, Combo, and Zafira, along with commercial vehicles such as the Combo and Vivaro. The integration leverages SoundHound Chat AI and generative AI technology to deliver cutting-edge functionality in every Opel vehicle.
This award highlights Opel’s commitment to making advanced technology affordable, blending innovation with practicality to redefine modern driving.
