Opel has rolled out the facelifted version of its Crossland SUV, complete with a new appearance based on the current brand identity.
The FWD compact crossover first came out three years ago as a derivative from the Peugeot 2008 and the successor to the Meriva MPV. The main difference of the facelift version is its trademark front clip design called Vizor: the radiator grille, the headlights and the badge are integrated into one unit. The Opel GT X Experimental Concept from 2018 pioneered this approach.
Other notable changes include smoked taillights, diode-based anti-fog lamps, new 16- and 17-inch wheels and the GS Line+ package available at a premium. The rear seats can now be moved back and forth by 15 cm (6 inches), and the trunk area can hold between 410 and 1,255 liters of luggage (14.5 – 44.3 cubic feet, respectively).
Customers may choose from three available multimedia systems; only the top options support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. OpelConnect and a wireless charger are also listed under options, along with a HUD, pedestrian-aware AEB, reversing cam, parking assist, blind zone monitoring, and smart cruise control.
The engine range remains unannounced. The old Crossland X (see video) shipped with 1.2-liter three-cylinder engines available in 83, 110 and 130 hp variants (62, 82 and 97 kilowatts, respectively). You could also go diesel with 1.5 liters of displacement, four cylinders and either 102 or 120 hp (76 or 90 kW) at your disposal.
Pre-orders for the new Opel Crossland will begin soon, and the shipments are planned for early 2021.
