Opel has announced a couple of updates for its
Crossland X subcompact crossover in Europe. Number one on the list is a new
1.5-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel engine mated to a standard six-speed
automatic transmission. It’s the same power plant that Opel and Vauxhall added
to the Grandland X earlier this year.
Replacing the previously-available 1.6-liter unit,
the new 1.5-liter turbo diesel delivers 120 PS and 300 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm. In combination with the standard automatic gearbox and
start/stop system, the PSA-sourced engine allows the Crossland X 1.5 Diesel to
average 4.0 liters/100 km (70.6 mpg UK) as per NEDC and emit 104-105 g/km of
CO2.
The engine meets the Euro 6d-TEMP emissions standard
thanks to an oxidation catalyst/NOx absorber coupled with Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR). The emissions reduction system also features a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) and AdBlue injector.
In addition to the new engine, the small crossover
gains leather trim for the first time. The luxurious upholstery is available as
an option on Design Line, Innovation and Ultimate trim levels in combination
with the ergonomic AGR front seats certified by the back specialists from
Germany’s Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.
Prices for the Opel Crossland X with the new
1.5-liter diesel engine start at € 24,120 (US$ 27,440) in Germany, including
VAT.
