- Attractive: Trendy crossover for climate-conscious customers
- LPG benefits: Cheaper than gasoline, lower CO2 emissions
- Unique: Opel Crossland X first LPG car with electronic tank multivalve
Attractive offer: The stylish and functional Opel Crossland X is now also available as an LPG version. |
The stylish yet functional Opel Crossland X is now available with
the benefits of low fuelling costs and a tax concession for using LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas).
The urban crossover with SUV looks is also the first LPG vehicle with
an innovative electronic multivalve system that improves the low-fuel
driving experience compared with conventional LPG cars.
Opel Crossland X is powered by an especially efficient 60 kW/81 hp 1.2-litre LPG engine (New European Driving Cycle fuel consumption LPG: urban 8.4 l/100 km; extra-urban 6.0 l/100 km; combined 6.9 l/100 km, 111 grams CO2/km; gasoline: 6.8 l/100 km; extra-urban 4.5 l/100 km; combined 5.4 l/100 km, 123 grams CO2/km).
The economical three-cylinder comes with a five-speed manual
transmission. In bivalent mode this enables a range of up to 1,300 km
before refuelling is necessary (based on NEDC).
The LPG version of the Crossland X is produced at the Opel factory.
With hardened valves and valve seat-rings the engine is designed for the
highest durability. The electronic multivalve features an optical
sensor in the LPG tank, which makes measurement of the remaining fuel
much more precise, improving the low-fuel driving experience compared
with conventional LPG cars.
The 36-litre LPG tank is located in the spare-wheel well, so that
interior space is unaffected. An LED in the instrument panel shows when
the Opel Crossland X is in LPG mode; it goes out as soon as the mode switches
to gasoline. The driver can also see the remaining range according to
gasoline or LPG.
Tax concession for LPG extended until 2022
In comparison to gasoline, LPG users can save a lot of money at the
fuel pump. Long-distance drivers benefit especially. The German
government also gives a tax concession for LPG until 2022. Cars that run
on LPG, which consists of the gases butane and propane, have less
effect on the environment than conventionally fuelled automobiles
because they emit lower amounts of carbon dioxide. LPG is available
throughout Europe at around 25,000 petrol stations. Germany also has a
good LPG infrastructure with 6,200 fuel stations.
Generous driver assistance systems offer
The new Opel Crossland X offers numerous technologies that make
driving more comfortable and relaxing, including Full-LED headlights,
Head Up display, 180-degree Panorama Rear View Camera, and Driver
Drowsiness Detection. The Crossland X with LPG engine can be ordered in
Germany as an “Edition” model variant for €21,200 and as an “INNOVATION”
for €22,400 (RRP including VAT).
