Award-winning back-friendly on the road – Opel seats with a seal of quality
The beginning dates back to 2003, when the Opel Signum became the first model to receive the AGR seal of approval. With an electrically adjustable 18-way multi-contour seat, Opel set standards. Five years later, the Insignia followed suit — a model that was also used as a taxi and, with generous adjustment options, took the strain off drivers’ backs. In 2012, the Meriva followed, which was honored not only for its seats but for an overall ergonomic concept.
Today, among others, the Astra and the Grandland carry the distinction. The latter can be converted for taxi use and brings a few refinements to the road with its "Intelli-Seats": A central recess relieves pressure on the tailbone, and an extendable thigh support improves seating comfort for long legs. An electro-pneumatic lumbar support provides additional support. Massage, ventilation and seat heating are also available on request.
The sustainability approach is also noteworthy: fabrics made from recycled materials, such as the ReNewKnit™ mono-material in the Astra, reduce the environmental footprint. In doing so, Opel combines ergonomic quality with a contribution to conserving resources.
Sitting well in taxis
For the taxi industry, the award is more than just a seal of quality. Anyone who spends many hours a day behind the wheel knows how much choosing the right seat can make all the difference – not only for well-being, but also for safety. With the certified seats in the Grandland, Opel offers taxi companies an option that combines comfort, health, and everyday practicality.
Especially in the everyday taxi routine, characterized by long shifts, frequent getting in and out, and varying passenger needs, ergonomic seats are more than a matter of comfort. They help prevent muscle tension and back problems, which occur more frequently than average in the industry. A seat that can be individually adjusted and still provides support even after ten hours is therefore not only a plus for the driver, but also for the service as a whole: Those who sit comfortably drive more focused – and get their passengers to their destination more safely.
