Even though it’s not a true Opel from the General Motors era, the Crossland X has a lot going for it. Groupe PSA is responsible for the platform, engine options, and transmissions, and as far as subcompact crossovers are concerned, this fellow here is a commercial success in Europe.
Having started production in 2017, Crossland X models from Opel and Vauxhall totaled 95,180 sales in 2018 across Europe. That’s hugely impressive in this segment, edging closer to the more expensive Mokka X. For the 2020 model year, Groupe PSA decided that the Crossland X needs an automatic option for the range-topping 1.2 Direct Injection Turbo.
Numbering six forward ratios and featuring a torque converter, the EAT6 is smooth and pretty much reliable. This engine-transmission combo also translates to 5.0 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers on the combined driving cycle, and pricing for this specification starts at €23,320.
Scheduled to premiere at the IAA 2019 in Frankfurt next month alongside the Corsa-e Rally, the Crossland X Edition 1.2 Direct Injection Turbo EAT6 churns out 130 metric horsepower. The three-cylinder turbo develops 230 Nm of torque from 1,750 Nm, translating to 10.2 seconds from zero to 100 km/h and a top speed of 198 kilometers per hour (123 mph).
A 1.5-liter turbo diesel with 120 PS is also available with the six-speed automatic, and as expected, numerous assistance systems come as standard equipment. These include cruise control with intelligent speed adaptation, the speed limiter function, speed sign recognition, hill start assist, lane keep assist, and driver drowsiness alert.
The subcompact crossover further boasts chrome trim throughout the cabin, air conditioning with footwell heating, electric windows, and multi-adjustable driver and passenger seats. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are two more highlights, packed into the Radio R 4.0 IntelliLink infotainment system with a 7.0-inch color touchscreen display.
Customers who want all the bang and whistles cand further opt for automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, a 180-degree panorama rearview camera, automatic park assist, and pedestrian detection.
