Opel's latest SUV - athletic and adventurous Grandland X

This is where a sporty character meets the spirit of adventure: modern, dynamic lines, a cool off-road look and the elevated seating position with good all-round visibility typical of an SUV.

The new Opel Grandland X has a host of top technologies on board and plenty of space for up to five adventurous passengers, their luggage and sport equipment.

These qualities make the Opel a new contender in the local booming SUV segment. The 4.48 meter-long Grandland X’s athletic look boasts crisp exterior dimensions with its taut muscles and short overhangs. And with optional two-color finish, the compact SUV shows its very own style.

It's a stylish newcomer ready to take on well-established rivals. With its sporty design, the Grandland X looks fantastic and will ensure that new customers get excited about the Opel brand.

Beyond the characteristic SUV qualities, it also has a host of top technologies that make it safe and fun at the same time. 

The new Opel Grandland X is a cool, robust SUV from every perspective of its sporty presence. At the front, the bold grille proudly displays the Opel Blitz. The chrome winglets embrace the brand logo and flow outwards to the slim, double-wing LED headlights, optically widening the front and giving the Grandland X a powerful, solid stance.

Its flanks echo the attractive combination of rugged SUV charm and elegant lines. Muscular, sculpted wheel arches and protective cladding on the lower body give the vehicle real off-road appeal.

The rear has a wide stance, silver underride protection with integrated tailpipes on the left and right, and above that protective cladding and slim LED taillights underline the newcomer’s sporty character.

Opel has further refined its design philosophy to create an SUV which blends sportiness and elegance to make it an absolute eye-catcher in its segment.

It also radiates the same quality in the interior: the instrument panel and centre stack with a touchscreen clearly laid out and horizontally aligned to the driver.
