Opel’s new Crossland has gone on sale in Ireland with prices starting from €22,395.
The new Crossland is a replacement to the predecessor Crossland X, and is the first in the range to adopt the Opel brand’s new ‘Vizor’ front face signature. Opel tells us that the new model gains extra comfort and technology equipment and features an improved chassis.
The new model is available in seven different body colours and in SC, SRI and Elite trim, levels. The new Crossland is powered by a choice of a 1.2, 83bhp stop start petrol engine (134g CO2 WLTP ) and a 5-speed manual. The 1.2 130bhp turbo stop start petrol engine (138g CO2 WLTP ) has a 6-speed automatic gearbox. The 1.5 110bhp turbo stop start unit (120g CO2 WLTP ) and 1.5 120bhp turbo stop start (131g CO2 WLTP ) provide the diesel options.
As previously mentioned, the new Crossland features the all-new Opel Vizor front face, which extends in one single sweep across the front of the vehicle, integrating both the grille and headlights. The PSA owned German carmaker says this will be the hallmark signature of all new Opel models to come. The front Vizor face is married to an equally strong rear visual identity featuring a new, high gloss black tailgate panel housing the Opel logo and book-ended with stylish rear lights.
With prices starting from €22,395 plus dealer delivery related charges, standard equipment from level one SC includes hill start assist, cruise control with speed limiter, lane departure warning, enhanced traffic sign recognition, six airbags, leather steering wheel, manual air conditioning, rain sensing windscreen, automatic lights, seven inch touchscreen with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, DAB radio, USB connectivity and 12-volt socket.
The sporty SRI and range topping Elite trims come with added specifications.
“The new Crossland of course retains all the key ingredients the Crossland X predecessor model had, that made it such a success for Irish buyers.
“Comfortable, practical, spacious, keenly priced and powered by efficient engines, our new Crossland model now brings to market the stand-out, new Opel front style signature and a smart new rear finish. Many more comfort and safety features have been added, to offer a really attractive package for drivers looking for the perfect compact family crossover with SUV looks.”
“The arrival of the all-new Crossland heralds the start of a complete rejuvenation of the Opel model line-up in 2021.
“We look forward to 2021 with confidence, on the foot of a strong January performance, with the excellent new Crossland now in our stable, and in anticipation of all-new Mokka, an electrified Zafira-e Life, our first all-electric light commercial vehicle, the new Vivaro-e, just crowned International Van of the Year 2021, and many more new model unveilings to follow this year,” James Brooks, managing director at Leeson Motors, Irish Importer of Opel, stated.
