It has been renamed without the “X”.
Opel had just completed a Crossland subcompact crossover in October 2020. Now it is time for the bigger brother to get a new visual identity. The Grandland, which has eschewed the “X” in its name like other Russelsheim models, has seen a lot of changes inside and out.
It features Opel’s corporate Vizor front fascia design, which was seen on the Corsa supermini as well as the Opel GTI.
Mokka crossover The matrix LED headlight technology was borrowed from Insignia’s flagship. Opel added a night vision system that can detect animals and people up to 100m (328 feet) ahead.
The cabin has seen more changes. Crossland has updated the dashboard to allow for a dual-screen layout. This layout of the side-by-side displays is identical to the Mokka. On the higher-end versions, customers will be able to have a 10-inch touchscreen with the infotainment system.
We’re also noticing some of the switchgear has a different look, and the shape of the air vents is changing. The gear lever for the automatic transmission seems less bulky, which gives the cabin a modern look. The changes to the interior are quite substantial, considering that this is a mid-cycle facelift and not a new model.
Opel has added more tech to the 2022 Grandland with a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and an automatic gearbox. The new crossover features active lane-keeping as well as an automated parking assistant that allows the driver to maneuver the vehicle in and outside.
Although there are no details about powertrains, you can see that the plug-in hybrid version shown here is one. The prefacelift combined a turbocharged, 1.6-liter gasoline engine and two electric motors to produce 296 horsepower and 332 pound-feet. It also has all-wheel drive. Opel has stated that it will provide more information in the coming weeks, ahead of fall when deliveries to customers of the German-built Grandland facelift start.
