Opel models join the Mokka X
THE successful Opel MOKKA X is joined by new Opel Crossland X and Grandland X, three models with a certain ‘X-tra’.
With the MOKKA X, Opel already offers a sub-compact SUV that has achieved more than 600,000 sales throughout Europe. In 2017, Opel will launch a new crossover model (CUV) alongside the best-selling MOKKA X – the Opel Crossland X.
The new CUV continues the trend towards sporty and spacious crossovers. The naming, which is new, different and exciting, matches the car’s character.
Since 2010, the sales figures of SUVs and CUVs have increased by five-fold.
The Opel Crossland X will bring additional impetus to this market segment and further growth potential for the Opel brand. With the new CUV, Opel will start a crossover-offensive in 2017, adding another category to the existing product portfolio that stretches from ADAM to Zafira.
Meanwhile, the new Opel Grandland X will be joined by its big brother of the Opel Crossland X. Both will be launched in 2017 and combine the coolness of a SUV with a high level of driving dynamics.
The Grandland X perfectly matches the active lifestyle of today with its irresistible off road appeal, raised seating position, good all-round visibility, easy ingress/egress and plenty of space for luggage. The styling cleverly combines ruggedness with elegance and the interior design concept offers plenty of comfort paired with a high level of practicality.
The Grandland X will extend the Opel offering in the especially popular compact class where it will join the successful Astra, Car of the Year 2016, and the recently launched seven-seat Zafira.
The Grandland X is part of Opel model offensive that will see 29 new models launched from 2016 to 2020. The new CUV will enter a booming market: In the space of ten years, from 2007 to 2017, the European share of SUVs/CUVs will have increased from seven to 20 percent of all new vehicles sold. The Opel Crossland X and the Opel Grandland X will continue to drive this growth.
The Opel Crossland X will enter the B segment in the first six months of 2017 – a segment where Opel’s compact SUV, the MOKKA X, has already been sold more than 600,000 times. The Opel Grandland X will sit one segment above its siblings from this autumn.
