The class of compact crossovers with every year is gaining popularity because Opel to be lagging, has introduced its new model X Grandland 2018 model year. The idea cost yet without detailed specifications, but with the clarification that the car is built on the EMP2 platform, on which assembled Peugeot 3008. Grandland X should be a competitor for the Nissan Qashqai and Seat Ateca.

The dimensions of the Opel Grandland X clearly fits into the class CD: length 4477 mm, width 1844 mm, height 1636 mm, length 2675 mm wheelbase Luggage compartment Volume is 514 l, if that's not enough, you can fold the rear row of seats and get a total of 1652 L.

At first Grandland X will be only front-wheel drive (in fact, as its French "brother" 3008), although not possible that after the presentation in Frankfurt in September 2017 will all-wheel drive version. The car looks stylish and dynamic, and the C-pillar is the pride of the designers of the German company. The impression is that the roof is floating above the back.

At the moment we know that the Opel Grandland X will be equipped with many modern driver assistance systems, including Grip Control has five modes of operation of the vehicle. Next on the list followed by: adaptive cruise control with function, pedestrian detection and Autonomous braking in emergency situations, the system alerts the fatigue of the driver, Parking aid with a circular camera tracking and much more.

In General, the exterior Opel Grandland X many details indicates "vnedorozhnoi" models: insertion of hard plastic along the wheel arches, same unpainted plastic lower part of the bumpers and both doors. All of this suggests that, in addition to asphalt, the vehicle may "dive" in the dirt and snow.

The interior of the car is made in the standard modern "obeliskom" style – with inserts "under aluminum", a minimum of buttons and switches in a strict gray tones. In the centre of the dashboard is the touch screen system. This comfortable 3-spoke steering wheel and highly legible instrument panel give the German pedantry.

No, at least approximate data about engines and transmissions no. Some suggest that Grandland X will get the same powerplant that the French "soplatformennika": two petrol turbocharged engine capacity of 1.2 liters (130 HP) and 1.6 l (165 HP) and two turbo-1.6-liter (120 HP) and 2.0 liter (180 HP), combined with a 5 - or 6-speed manual gearbox or 6-speed automatic transmission.

It remains to wait for the official premiere Opel Grandland X 2018 model year in Frankfurt to learn all the technical details of the car. To the hope of the return of Opel on the Russian market, given that it recently bought the PSA Group.
