Actually it is the Meriva substitute, but given where the likes of current public van, Opel has abandoned the idea of ​​creating a pure minivan and without neglecting the practical aspects, has come close to that prevailing style adventurer image and it is essential that, to the extent that the German mark defines X as an Opel Crossland “Urban crossover”.

The first technical data provided by the German manufacturer indicate that this new SUV It measures 4.21 meters long, so that its size is very similar to the Mokka X -this is only 7cm Largo-, although the body Opel Crossland X is somewhat lower and the driver will not sit so high.

Opel Crossland X: front-wheel drive only?

As for mechanical supply, Opel only indicates that X will Crossland petrol versions, CDTI or moved by GLP, and there will be manual and automatic transmissions.

Diesel in the field, will be the 1.3 CDTi the first step with 95 hp, to complete two 1.6 CDTi with 110 and 136 hp -figures power in other Opel that could be adjusted slightly in the new crossover-.
