will be the Grandland X which will be arriving later this year.
Versatile dimensions
The Crossland X is 4212mm long, 1765mm wide and 1590mm high. However the compact dimensions hide a very versatile vehicle with a class leading trunk volume of 410mm. Besides, at the back passengers are capable of adjusting the seating position by 150mm in longitudinal direction. This allows to increase legroom or cargo capacity depending on the necessities.
Design
Replacing the Meriva in Opel's range the Crossland X has replaced the minivan looks by a more rugged design which includes a bigger ground clearance as well as plastic cladding over the wheel arches.
At the front the new SUV gets the new Opel shield-shaped grille with sharp-shaped headlights combined with the L-shaped LED daytime running lights. On the sides the design is highlighted by the chrome trimmed strip placed above the doors which creates an illusory floating roof.
Placed on the intersection between the trunk lid and the roofline, the highly mounted split rear lights also feature the ‘double-wing’ graphic.
Engines
Technical specifications of the new Crossland X are yet to be revealed. However because the new model shares mechanical parts with the Peugeot 2008
