Crossland updated

- – Charl Bosch

Opel has announced the pricing of the new Crossland, now without the Xsuffix.

The compact SUV now sports the same Bold and Pure styling language as the all-new Mokka, together with the so-called Opel Vizor, Compass and lightly tweaked rear facia. Available from this month, the three-model lineup starts off with the Edition, priced at R324 900, which nets the normally aspirated 1.2 PureTech three-cylinder petrol engine, pumping out 60kW/118Nm.

As with the Crossland X, this model is offered only with a five-speed manual gearbox.

With both the Enjoy and Cosmo trim levels dropped, along with the 1.6-litre turbo-diesel engine, the nextstep model retains the Edition designatio­n, but swaps the free-breathing engine for the turbocharg­ed PureTech of the same displaceme­nt. Outputting 81kW/205Nm, the blown three-pot is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox.

Priced at R374 900, the turbocharg­ed Edition swaps the 15-inch steelies for 16-inch alloy wheels, while also dropping the five-inch display for the seven-inch Intellilin­k system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Addition spec includes rear electric windows, a 180o camera and six-speaker sound system.

At the top-of-the-range, the Elegance carries a sticker of R399 000 and uses the same powertrain as the Edition, which translates to a consumptio­n of 6.3l/100km.

Standard on all models is a three year/120 000km warranty as well as a three year/45 000km.

Two engine options available across the compact SUV‘s revised three-model line-up.
