Opel and sister
brand Vauxhall have officially unveiled the new Grandland X. Set to become the
company's largest crossover, the Grandland X features a familiar front fascia
with a chrome winglet grille as well as LED-infused headlights.
The sporty
styling continues further back as the model has been equipped with a prominent
character line, a sculpted hood, and plastic body cladding. At the rear,
there's a tailgate-mounted spoiler and an integrated dual exhaust system.
The crossover measures 4,477 mm long, 1,844 mm wide and 1,636 mm tall with a
wheelbase that spans 2,675 mm. This means the model is 200 mm longer than the both the Mokka X and Crossland X.
The five-seat interior promises to be relatively
comfortable as options include ergonomic front seats, a heated steering wheel,
and a wireless smartphone charger. Buyers on a budget will still be treated to
an IntelliLink infotainment system and a spacious luggage compartment that can
hold up to 1,652 liters of cargo.
Safety wise, Vauxhall will offer an
assortment of driving aids including Automatic Emergency Braking, Advanced Park
Assist, Driver Drowsiness Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control with pedestrian
detection.
The automaker is keeping engine options under wraps
but they did confirm the Grandland X will be offered with an optional Grip
Control system that has five different driving modes. The Grandland X will
debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, before going on sale early next
year.
