- Hit: Opel’s youngest SUV popular with customers
- High: Strong demand for top-of-the-line versions
- Home: Eisenach plant will produce Opel Grandland X as of 2019
- Handsome: Grandland X heads Crossland X and Mokka X in Opel SUV family
Opel Grandland X celebrated its world premiere
exactly one year ago at the IAA Frankfurt international motor show. In
the meantime Opel’s newest Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) has established
itself very successfully in the market segment. Since sales began in
summer 2017 customers have placed more than 100,000 orders for the
dynamic SUV, with about 25 percent of them coming from Germany. Demand
is especially high for the Opel Grandland X with technology and comfort
features such as AFL Full LED Adaptive Forward Lighting and the Navi 5.0
IntelliLink infotainment system.
“The Opel Grandland X is stylish, technologically advanced and
powered by Euro 6d-TEMP compliant engines”, says Opel Managing Director
Sales, Aftersales and Marketing, Xavier Duchemin. “Our customers
appreciate the combination of comfort, sportiness and practicability. Opel Grandland X tops our SUV range and is the perfect complement to the
Opel Crossland X and the Opel Mokka X.”
In the most recent production allocations, Groupe PSA decided that
the Grandland X will be made at the Eisenach plant from 2019 onward. A
Grandland X representing the 100,000 customers was therefore delivered
by Autohaus Schorr in Eisenach. Happy owner, Antje Fink said: “I
ordered the Opel Grandland X because it is not only sporty but also
comfortable. Full LED headlamps and the excellent AGR seats are simply
‘must-haves’. And the Opel Grandland X will also be built here, which makes
it a real Thuringian.”
The majority of Opel Grandland X customers order top-of-the-line equipment levels. The INNOVATION and Ultimate
trims together account for about 70 percent of all orders. INNOVATION
includes advanced assistance systems such as Forward Collision Warning
with Pedestrian Detection and Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep
Assist, Driver Drowsiness Alert as well as Park Pilot front and rear.
Comfort is further increased by standard equipment such as the remote controlled tailgate, Keyless Open and Start, dual zone climate control and the heated steering wheel. The standard equipment of the range-topping Opel Grandland X Ultimate additionally includes ergonomic AGR leather seats certified by “Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.” and a premium sound system from Denon. The black roof, black mirrors and two-tone 19-inch “BiColor” light-alloy wheels add stylish details.

Individual options that further increase comfort are also in very high demand, especially the Navi 5.0 IntelliLink in-car entertainment. The infotainment system, which is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, is installed in 70 percent of cars ordered. The integrated navigation with European roadmaps and 3D-view is operated via the eight-inch colour touchscreen or voice control. Compatible smartphones are charged inductively via wireless charging, an option chosen by around 25 percent of Grandland X customers.
Additional safety in the Opel Grandland X is provided by the Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) with Full LED headlamps,
which is ordered in 40 percent of cars delivered. The headlamps adapt
the lighting distribution to the prevailing driving conditions via seven
modes, without causing glare for oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead in
the same lane. Equally popular with customers is the heated ThermaTec windscreen, which ensures good visibility for Grandland X drivers during cold weather.
Prices for the Opel Grandland X in Germany start at €24,000 including VAT.
