The replacement to the Meriva MPV, the Opel Crossland X brings Elevated seating position, spacious interior and high flexibility.

The replacement to the Meriva MPV, the newcomer launches in the C-segment crossover sector and will compete with cars like the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur and Peugeot 2008.

The interior focuses on practicality. The Crossland X gets a rear bench which can slide 150mm fore or aft to prioritise passenger or luggage space. With the bench fully forward, boot capacity is in line with Qashqai-sized crossovers at 520 litres, but it’s still class-leading at 410 litres in its rearmost position.

The cabin includes seats certified by Germany’s Campaign for Healthier Backs, and the IntelliLink touchscreen infotainment system with Apple Carplay and Android Auto across the range. Selected versions will also get OnStar, with an eight-inch screen.

Engine line-up is yet to be confirmed.

The Crossland X is one of five key product launches over a one-year period, with other newcomers including the Insignia Grand Sport and the Grandland X, which will rival products such as the Nissan Qashqai, SEAT Ateca and Kia Sportage.
