Fact: Opel Grandland X 1.6 CDTI Innovation
Content
The Mokka is a significant exception as it dates back to the change of ownership of Opel and is the only vehicle with all-wheel drive, so for both Crossland X and Grandland X we can find a counterpart in Peugeot and Citroën as the brands have been involved in their development from the very beginning . For the Crossland X, the comparison can be found in the Citroën C3 Aircross, and in the case of the Grandland X, it will be the Peugeot 3008, as the same technique is hidden under their completely different body shape.
The test Grandland X was powered by the 1,6 “horsepower” 120-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine we know well from the Peugeot 3008, the same goes for the six-speed automatic transmission with a torque converter that transfers the engine’s torque. to the front wheels. And front-wheel drive is the only thing you can get in the Grandland X, which makes it stand side by side with its French sibling. Otherwise, we can say that such a combination of movements works pleasantly and calmly. The gearbox shifts so that the transition is almost not felt, and the engine under acceleration gives the feeling that it is always in the right position and does not show pronounced signs of stress. Fuel consumption is suitable for this, which in tests was about a quite favorable 6,2 liters per 100 kilometers and even stabilized at 5,2 liters per 100 kilometers during a more forgiving standard lap. It should be noted that the weight that the engine has to move is quite large, since the car weighs just over 1,3 tons with one driver, and can be loaded with a total mass of more than two tons.
The chassis is tuned to be as comfortable as possible and to absorb large bumps in the ground, but it still has its limits as it offers slightly less cornering confidence with more damper travel and more body lean due to the bump. for comfort. Also known is the sporty off-road character of the car, which allows for driving on more uneven surfaces with a greater distance from the bottom to the ground. But these excursions will soon come to an end, as, as already stated, the Grandland does not have an all-wheel drive option, it is also limited to the inclusion of electronic devices to increase traction. The test copy did not have them. It could be said that he doesn't need them anyway, as an SUV like the Grandland X is almost certainly rarely used for off-road driving, and the benefits of a longer bottom-to-ground distance can also be well used in urban environments.
In terms of the power plant, chassis, external dimensions and the simplest design, the resemblance to its French cousin more or less ends. The Peugeot 3008 caters to those enthusiastic about the automotive avant-garde and the predictions of the future, while the Opel Grandland X will make those who love classic cars feel at home in the Opel Grandland X. The design lines of the Grandland X are simple, but quite arbitrary. It also takes them from other models of the brand, such as the Astra and Insignia, and the Crossland X. You could say that the transition of the Grandland X designers from "French" to "German" body lines was better than that of the Crossland, because unlike the younger brothers and sisters, whom we somehow accused of clumsiness, in general, it works quite harmoniously.
The interior is also traditional, where there is no trace of the Peugeot i-Cockpit with a digital dashboard, and even more so the small angular steering wheel, over which we look at the instruments. At the moment, the Grandland X has a completely normal design with a usually round steering wheel, through which we can see two large classic round displays of engine speed and speed, two smaller displays of coolant temperature and amount of fuel in the tank and a digital screen with data from the car computer and etc. The climate setting is also controlled by the classic controls, above which we find the infotainment touchscreen, which does its job perfectly. There is also much more, especially the Opel OnStar system, which in this case is tied to Peugeot technology and, unlike “real” Opels such as Astra, Insignia or Zafira, still has to “learn Slovenian”.
The ergonomic front seats from the Opel EGR range sit comfortably, there is also enough comfortable space in the rear seat, which does not offer longitudinal movement, but folds only in a 60:40 ratio and increases the trunk, which is in the favorable middle class. In addition, the test Grandland X was reasonably well equipped, including automatic LED headlights, a heated steering wheel, active cruise control, a view of the surroundings of an already fairly transparent car, and more.
Thus, Opel Grandland certainly takes its rightful place in the company of its competitors. It may not be exactly “grandiose” as Opel's marketing claims, but it certainly sovereignly propels ahead among Opel crossovers that perform under the iconic sign of the cross, even if it belongs to Andrew.

Overall rating (407/600)
The Opel Grandland X is a solid crossover that will especially appeal to those who find its "French" Peugeot 3008 too extravagant.
Cab and trunk (76/110)
The interior of the Opel Grandland X is calmer, but beautifully designed and transparent. There is more than enough space, and the trunk also lives up to expectations
Comfort (76
/ 115)The ergonomics are high and the comfort is also good enough that you only feel tired after very long journeys.
Transmission (54
/ 80)The combination of a four-cylinder turbo diesel and an automatic transmission matches well with the car, and the chassis is solid enough.
Driving performance (67
/ 100)The chassis is a little soft, but quite self-reliant, and in the driver's seat you don't even notice the fact that you are sitting in a slightly taller car, at least when it comes to driving.
Security (81/115)
Passive and active safety is well taken care of
Economy and environment (53
/ 80)The expense can be very affordable, but it also convinces the entire package.
