We started testing the new Opel Crossland X 1.6 Turbo D, SUV somehow replaces the missing Meriva … although its mechanical base has nothing to do.

I minivans are no longer fashionable and Today brands reinventing their products to have in their ranks as defendants the SUV, or cars on high. Opel is now selling small SUV and the new Crossland X, yes without depose the current Mokka X as a stepping stone is above.

This new Opel Crossland X shares the same base C3 Aircross Citroën next because, after the purchase of Opel by the French group PSA, new platforms will be shared and, in the case before us, also 1.6 liter Diesel developed by PSA, but here now with own name Turbo D and not BlueHDI.

we started thus prove the Opel Crossland X 1.6 Diesel 120 hp, front-wheel drive and 6-speed manual transmission, a recommendable SUV if not for a long developments It is forcing us to use the gear shift too often. This means that we must be mindful that the engine does not falter speed because we run the risk of not having power at certain times (for example, when we join a roundabout when overtaking or face a port) or in the case of braking absence of engine braking.

Opel Crossland X: actual consumption

And we started our Common test of actual consumption in road. And the first thing to note is that the Opel spending this Crossland X has been higher to the small SUV counterpart Peugeot, 2008. Our protagonist has registered Highway 5 l / 100 km on average, city and 5.1 l / 100 km: Consumption but far satisfactory, especially in extraurbano of 4.4 l / 100 km and 4.9 l / 100 km which marked respectively 2008 with same engine and same routes.

The competition in this segment is becoming fierce and no brand wants to lose camber in the category. Here we show our measurements consumption of direct competitors and find that the Opel Crossland X, all front-wheel drive, manual gearbox six speeds and Stop / Start system. And also, to have first references, the total length of each model and the cubicaje boot, with our own measurement in which we always use the same yardstick. Parenthetically you will find the spare system employee.

Finally coming to assess their behavior, perhaps after the last climb Opel Astra and Insignia Grand Sport perceive a less resounding overall performance, but it must be emphasized that belongs to a lower segment. Its ride quality and bacheo is lower but its cornering and llanea can say they are good practicing normal driving, which is what you ask for this type of SUV, its use and habitual buyer. Very soon, you can read the complete test.
