Vizor vision puts a new face on Opel’s upgraded Crossland SUV
THESE are the first pictures and details of Opel’s new Crossland compact SUV/ crossover which arrives here early next year.
Sporting the brand’s dramatic new Vizor front ‘face’, it replaces the Crossland X (the X is now dropped).
Opel claim it has a better chassis so driving dynamics should be much improved.
There’s more by way of comfort levels too, the manufacturers say.
And there is a range of technologies as well as a sporty SRi Line trim.
Prices, line-up and spec are due nearer its early-2021 arrival.
Price and equipment are critical elements in one of the most crowded and fast-growing segments in the motoring market.
Depending on trim there will be front and rear skid plates, LED front fogs, and 16ins and 17ins alloys.
The spread of technologies includes several driver assist systems.
For example, there are adaptive full-LED headlamps with cornering light, high-beam assist and auto levelling, head-up display, forward collision alert, driver drowsiness alert, panoramic rear-view camera and automatic park assist.
Their IntelliGrip adaptive traction control system is optional.
It is something I think is well worth having in a car. It doesn’t cost that much but it gives great traction on all kinds of surfaces.
In the case of the new Crossland there are five settings which should cover most bases: normal, snow, mud, sand and ESP.
Infotainment systems comprise radio, multimedia and top-of-line multimedia Navi Pro with 8ins touch screen.
The seating arrangements will suit families in particular. There are individually sliding/ reclining rear seats (60/40 split).
They slide by up to 150mm. That means you can boost boot space from 410 to 520 litres, for example. And that expands to 1,255 litres with the rear seats folded.
