Opel has confirmed plans this week to launch 27 new models and 17 new engines by 2018.
The announcement comes nearly two years after the GM-owned German carmaker revealed its ‘Drive!2022’ plan, which promised 23 new models and 13 engines by the end of 2016.
The plan, which would include variants within model and engine lines, is part of a push to increase Opel and Vauxhall market share in Europe from 5.8 to eight percent by 2022.
That share could make Opel the second-largest carmaker in Europe, supplanting PSA Peugeot Citroen and moving closer to Volkswagen’s 12.9 percent share. (Volkswagen is also the second-largest carmaker in the world, behind Toyota.)
