This is where a sporty character meets the spirit of adventure:
modern, dynamic lines, a cool off-road look and the elevated seating
position with good all-round visibility typical of an SUV. This is the
new Opel Grandland X – with a host of top technologies on board and
plenty of space for up to five adventurous passengers, their luggage and
sport equipment. These qualities make the Opel a new contender in the
booming SUV segment. In the compact class alone, the SUV share has
increased from seven percent in 2010 to nearly 20 percent today. The
4.48 meter-long Grandland X’s athletic look boasts crisp exterior
dimensions with its taut muscles and short overhangs. And with optional
two-color finish, the compact SUV shows its very own style. The Opel
Grandland X makes its world premiere at this year’s IAA (International
Motor Show) in Frankfurt (September 14 – 24, 2017).
Ideally equipped and well positioned, the new Grandland X comes to
market in the fall as the third member of the Opel X family. It joins
its Opel Crossland X and bestseller Opel Mokka X siblings, which both
are some 20 centimeters shorter in length. At the same time, the
Grandland X expands the extensive Opel portfolio in the very popular
compact car segment from Astra to Zafira.
“A stylish newcomer is ready to attack in the booming compact SUV
segment – and that is our new Opel Grandland X. Its name stands for
adventure, independence and abundance. With its sporty design, the
Grandland X looks fantastic and will ensure that new customers get
excited about the Opel brand. Beyond the characteristic SUV qualities,
it also has a host of top technologies that make it safe and fun at the
same time. With the Grandland X, Opel is bringing onto the market a cool
SUV with a strong ‘I want it’ factor,” says Opel CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas
Neumann.
The portfolio of ultra-modern assistance and comfort features for the Grandland X is first class: Adaptive
Cruise Control with pedestrian detection and Automatic Emergency
Braking, Driver Drowsiness Alert, Advanced Park Assist and the 360° Camera are just some highlights. AGR-certified ergonomic seats (Campaign for Healthier Backs), heated steering wheel, seat heating front and rear and the tailgate that opens with a simple foot movement
ensure top comfort. In typical Opel fashion, Grandland X drivers and
passengers enjoy top connectivity with the latest generation of IntelliLink systems and the personal connectivity and service assistant Opel OnStar, which now includes new services such as booking hotel rooms1 and searching for parking2. Smartphones can even be charged wirelessly via inductive charging.
Opel again delivers on its commitment to leadership in lighting
technology, equipping the Grandland X with bright driving light thanks
to Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) LED headlamps. Functions such
as cornering light, high beam assist and auto levelling guarantee
optimal illumination of the road ahead, ensuring plenty of driving fun
even in the dark.
Opel Grandland X offers one thing above all: safe driving fun all year
round and on every surface. This is also thanks to the optional
electronic Grip Control that, especially with M&S tires,
ensures top traction in diverse driving situations. The driver has a
choice of five driving modes. The system then adapts the torque
distribution to the front wheels, allow wheel-spin if necessary, and
with the automatic transmission adjusts shift points as well as throttle
response. This ensures best traction and stable handling regardless of
whether the Grandland X is travelling on snow, mud, sand or wet
surfaces.
Sharp design with fine details: How elegant an SUV can look
At 4,477 millimeters long, 1,844 millimeters wide and 1,636
millimeters high, the new Opel Grandland X is a cool, robust SUV from
every perspective of its sporty presence. In the front above the
skidplate the bold grille proudly displays the Opel Blitz. The chrome
winglets embrace the brand logo and flow outwards to the slim,
double-wing LED headlamps, optically widening the front and giving the
Grandland X a powerful, solid stance. The hood features the signature
Opel crease – an expression of the Opel design philosophy ‘Sculptural
Artistry meets German Precision’.
Its side views echo the attractive combination of rugged SUV charm
and elegant lines. Muscular, sculpted wheel arches and protective
cladding on the lower body give the Grandland X real off-road appeal. In
contrast, clear lines and the refined blade on the lower doors identify
the new Grandland X as a member of the Opel family. Optional two-tone
finish with the roof in contrasting black adds an extra touch of
personalization. Its smooth flow into the rest of the body is emphasized
by the “breakthrough” C pillar, which also creates a dynamic bond to
the rear. The rear view of the Grandland X shows down to the smallest
detail what real SUV design means: wide stance, silver underride
protection with integrated tailpipes on the left and right, and above
that protective cladding and slim LED taillights underline the
newcomer’s sporty, muscular character.
“The new Grandland X is a modern SUV with an exceptional presence and
a bold design that looks compact, sporty and muscular. We have further
refined our Opel design philosophy to create an SUV which blends
sportiness and elegance to make it an absolute eye-catcher in its
segment,” said Vice President Design Mark Adams.
Opel Grandland X radiates the same quality in the interior: the
instrument panel and center stack with touchscreen are clearly laid out
and horizontally aligned to the driver. The center stack has three
horizontal rows of controls for fast and intuitive access to
infotainment, climate control and chassis functions. The interior
surfaces feature high-class haptics, giving the driver and passengers a
feeling of well-being and comfort in all seats. They benefit from the
SUV-typical elevated seating position that eases ingress/egress and
ensures good visibility. Its long wheelbase of 2,675 millimeters also
ensures that the compact class SUV has plenty of space for up to five
people. And the luggage compartment with a load volume from 514 to a
maximum of 1,652 liters offers generous room for luggage and sport
equipment. With all these features, the Opel Grandland X can compete
with even the most spacious compact class station wagons.
