The high cars pouring out. Opel will also on the bandwagon, and the latest bid is Crossland X, that must bite spoons with a bestseller such as the Renault Captur and is with for the upcoming Citroën C3 Picasso, which will be launched later in the year.
It is one of the most important cars of Opel for many years. The high crossovere is a car type, which is booming in all classes, and it is crucial to be on the front, if you as the manufacturer must have a leg to the ground.
We have been close to the model, who has come to Denmark in the first forserie versions before the introduction to June, and as we have had the opportunity to roll a quite short ride in a closed area. Not enough for a test, but sufficient to get an impression of the model, which is expected to start at prices just below 200,000 dkk.

It is a model, which takes its source about five years back. Then the PSA in the crisis, Opel bought seven per cent. of the ailing French group and the parties put the development of several common models in time.
Since the cask is reversed, and the PSA, as you know, just bought the Opel, that will eventually launch the larger Grandland X, which is with to the Peugeot 3008. Therefore Crossland X with the chassis, the gearbox and engines from the PSA a very good picture of the future Opel models, there will be French under the skin, and the German on the surface.
The all-new platform with a wheelbase of 2,60 metres – nine cm longer between the axles than an Opel Corsa, and six cm longer than the current Citroën C3 Picasso.
It provides a car that is well hollowed out. Especially because the crossover format provides the opportunity to build in the height, both in terms of ground clearance and the distance to the ceiling.

Opel has also fine-tuned bl.a. gear and undercarriage in the car, so it has a more German behaviour than the expected range of more softly sprung C3 Picasso.
We have also a clear ‘Opel’experience, as we roll by the place in a red Crossland X with topudstyret Innovation and a 1.2-liter turbobenzinmotor at 130 hp.
The completely redesigned dashboard is simple and easy in its expression, yet functional, while the grip and the contacts seem solid. The gear, which plays together with the well-known six-step PSA gearbox experienced exactly clicking here – in the less motoriseringer it is the well-known five step PSA gearbox, which is used.
Climbing is good both back and front, while you sit high and regular.
It also applies on the rear seats, where there is more room for high hair than in a Corsa, while benpladsen not sneaking over the same, and that it therefore is reasonable without being flashy.
the Boot at 410 litres can be expanded to 520 litres to buy a forskydbart rear seat, which can stand 15 cm in the longitudinal direction, and which also has a backrest that can be adjusted in the slope, but that is optional.

It also applies the automatic emergency brake, which is a part of a security package and costs 6.000-7.000 kr.
The range of three petrol engines 81 hp, 110 hp and 130 hp, and two diesel engine of 99 hp and 120 hp. It is well-known and modern PSA-constructions, which is certainly on par with Opel’s engines.
On the udstyrssiden serves the Opel up with the option of delights as the ergonomically acclaimed the EGR seats, head up display, glass roof and full LED headlights.
the Prices are not known yet, but we know that the model will be launched with three trim levels Essentia, Enjoy, and Innovation.
The Danish Opel importer has high expectations for the Crossland X, as it is estimated that there will be sold 1.500). already in the year 2,000). for the next year. If it holds, it will make the model one of the most sold Opel in denmark after the Astra, Karl and Corsa.

All the models with X are either purist crossovers or suvs.
the Suv’s Mocha X has less space and more attitude. Therefore, consider Opel, not the two cars as competitors.
