Drive in Style: Practical Accessories for the Opel Grandland X

  • Safe transport: Stylish carrier systems for roof and rear end
  • Tidy storage: Cargo compartment trays and FlexConnect solutions
  • Good protection: Child seats for all ages, partition grid for rear compartment
  • Great looks: Light alloy wheel designs and OPC Line styling

Perfect for travelling: With lots of interior space, a roof-box on top for more luggage and bicycles on the bike-carrier, the Opel Grandland X is the ideal car for the holidays.


The Opel Grandland X impresses at first glance with its sporty, elegant design in characteristic SUV style. Following in the footsteps of the successful Mokka X and Crossland X, the youngest member of Opel’s X-Family also features a host of top technologies and assistance systems that make travel safer and more relaxing. But that’s not all: Opel offers an array of extras for the compact SUV newcomer including tailored, high-quality original Opel accessories as well as selected products from market-leading partners to make the Grandland X even more individual and practical. The selection ranges from transport and carrier systems, comfort and safety equipment to wheels and tyres as well as styling and OPC Line elements.

X marks the spot for sport and leisure: With Opel transport and carrier systems

All aboard: If the large trunk of the Opel Grandland X is not enough for all the holiday luggage, the rest can be stowed away in practical and stylish roof-boxes.

Being flexible enough to hit the road with your own sports equipment on board is no problem with the Opel Grandland X. If the compact SUV’s up to 1,652-litre load volume is not sufficient, Opel has a large selection of flexible transport and carrier systems on offer. With the aluminium base carrier and a wide range of corresponding carrier systems from Opel partner Thule, Grandland X customers can create lots of additional storage space. For example, bicycles can be transported practically, easily and safely with various Thule rear-mounted bike racks. In addition, boxes in various designs and sizes can be comfortably mounted on the base roof carrier, including for example, the white Opel roof box with pre-installed Power-Click attachment system. The 2,050 x 840 x 450 millimetre box can be easily loaded and unloaded from both sides. It increases the Opel Grandland X’s storage volume by up to 460 litres. Thanks to the forward position of the roof box, access to the trunk remains unaffected.



Thanks to the clever transport system, even bulky water sports equipment can be easily stowed on the Opel Grandland X’s roof. The aluminium surfboard carrier available for €99.90 (All prices RRP including VAT in Germany. Additional installation costs may apply for certain parts.) can be fastened to the base carrier quickly and easily. Straps to secure the cargo are part of the trim package. Ski and snowboard carriers are also offered for the Grandland X for those who prefer ski slopes to waves.

Easy access to the roof rack systems is ensured by the tailored aluminium side steps that sit snuggly beneath the doors and between the front and rear wheel arches. With a stainless steel top plate, they are not only resilient but simultaneously an exquisite eye-catcher that emphasise the sporty and elegant look of the SUV.

Neat and clean: Perfectly organised, safe storage and interior compartment

To keep the car clean after a bike tour through the great and sometimes muddy outdoors, a practical tray for the cargo space is available. The tray also keeps the rear organised: with non-skid coating (for €70.50) and high, stable edges, it not only protects against dirt and moisture – with it the boot stays neat and tidy.

The safety cargo grid, which separates the passengers from the cargo area, is available for €217.00. The precise-fitting grid in black steel is mounted behind the rear seat head restraints. The cargo area can also be flexibly divided with the Opel cargo net. It is secured to the lashing eyes on the Grandland X cargo floor with hooks and ensures that objects remain safely in place and do not slide around.

Every trip can be more entertaining and organised thanks to the various FlexConnect solutions optionally available for the cabin. These range from hooks and hangers to a tablet holder or a folding table. Watching videos or working in the rear are therefore no longer a problem. The FlexConnect adaptors are attached to the base which is mounted to the headrests of the front seats.

Exemplary safety is also of course top priority when children are travelling in the Grandland X. Opel offers seats and restraint systems for children of all ages. Thanks to Isofix child seat brackets and/or standard three-point safety belts, the seats are snug-fitting and easy to install.

There is even more on offer for a tidy and clean drive: velour floor mats and custom-fit rubber mat sets protect the footwell and the luggare area.

In top form: Opel Grandland X cuts an even finer figure

Along with the stylish aluminium side steps, the splash guards are further proof that practical features can also be attractive: they are designed to protect the paintwork from mud, salt, grit and snow and so keep the Grandland X shiny for a long time. The SUV can be individualised even further with Opel alloy wheels in various sizes and rim designs. In the interior, features such as OPC Line stainless steel pedals bring extra sporty flair.

New Opel ADAM – Chic, urban freedom on wheels

  • FlexFix bike carrier exclusive to Opel re-invents urban mobility
  • Customized, combined car and bike mobility made cool and easy

     When the ADAM celebrates its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show (“Mondial de l’Automobile”, September 29 to October 14, 2012), Opel’s new chic, small car, will reveal one of its unique sides that makes urban mobility cooler and easier than ever. Visitors to the Opel stand will discover its optional, fully integrated FlexFix bike carrier. This clever device is exclusive to Opel and gives ADAM owners the ability to engage in modern urban mobility, either at the wheel of their car or on the saddle of their bike. The FlexFix bike carrier helps to make busy urban life even more stress-free for the ADAM owner. It can be used in a spontaneous way, entirely according to one’s taste, the weather, traffic conditions and the environment. 


    The FlexFix bike carrier is integrated in the rear bumper and is therefore always available. It is adjusted by hand and is therefore very easy to use, without any tools or additional devices. When it is not in use it disappears almost invisibly like a drawer in the rear bumper. With the Opel ADAM the lockable system can take a bike weighing up to 30 kilograms so that even e-bikes can be transported. An optional clip-on adaptor ensures that a second bike weighing up to 20 kilograms can be carried. In that sense FlexFix becomes a flexible mobility solution that can be shared by two people.

    Thanks to the low loading height of the carrier, the bike can be easily attached to the stable and user-friendly holders inside the rails at the rear. This way the task of securing the bike before transport is ergonomic and easy on the spine, in contrast to roof racks where one must lift the bicycle high over the head. Even when fully loaded, FlexFix can be tilted in such a way that the tailgate of the ADAM can still be opened, allowing easy access to the trunk. In addition, FlexFix can be combined with a park assist system preventing from dents and scratches while parking.


    With the FlexFix system, those who fancy a quick bike ride will be able to do so everywhere and anytime, and not only in urban areas, but also in the countryside at the week-end. This is yet another example of the almost limitless customization options of the new Opel ADAM and the personalized lifestyle it creates. To tailor ADAM to one’s personal tastes, there are three trim worlds to choose from, ADAM JAM, ADAM GLAM and ADAM SLAM. In addition, customers can choose from many exterior and interior colors, decors and various headliners, as well as other premium inspired distinctive design elements. Sales of the new Opel ADAM will start when it has its world premiere in Paris, and the car will arrive at the dealer showrooms starting in early 2013.

    The Opel FlexFix bike carrier system is already available in various versions across the Opel model range. Opel is still the only car maker that offers such a fully integrated system.
