2020 Opel Grandland X Review Redesign

In terms of design, the new Grandland X is amazing. It has an imposing stance and a handsome look, even more handsome than its predecessor. While many SUVs are more focused on their capability and reliability, the Grandland X can’t help but look good asides being capable and reliable. After all, this is Opel’s premium SUV. It has to look good if it were to stand out from its competitions.

While the exterior looks handsome, the interior design is more practical, ergonomically sound, and well-built. The driving position is quite high for an SUV and it has a good all-around view as well. You might find the interior design to be a bit conservative and ‘old-school’ and you would be right.

Performance

There are three engine options for the new Grandland X: a 1.2-liter, inline-three petrol engine, a 1.5-liter diesel engine, and a 2.0-liter diesel engine. The petrol and the first diesel engines share the same power output: 128 horsepower. The 2.0-liter diesel engine, on the other hand, is a much more powerful option with its 175 horsepower.

For a large SUV, the outputs are decent. Large SUVs are mostly used in urban settings. As such, they don’t need as much power as off-road-focused SUVs. An output of 128 horsepower is decent and more than enough to tackle a family SUV daily routines. Need more power? Then opt for the models with the 2.0-liter engine.

In terms of handling, the 2020 Opel Grandland X Review is comfortable and relaxed. It is comfortable to ride on even on long distances. While not being an off-road-focused SUV, it has nice grips even on uneven surfaces, making it a solid choice for families.

Practicality

Practicality is one of the biggest selling points of the 2020 Opel Grandland X. The inside space is just generous. There is enough space for everyone and everything. The headroom and legroom are praiseworthy, both at the front and rear. The storage pockets like the door bins, the glovebox, a charging spot, and cup-holders have decent, if not generous, sizes.

For the boot space, it has about 514 liters of storage which is decent for a family SUV like the Grandland X. If the rear seating is dropped, you will get a whopping 1,652 liters of load area. The Grandland X also has a flat floor, making the boot space a lot easier to manage with and without the rear seating.

Features

The Grandland X has many features. Features such as an infotainment touchscreen display, alloy wheels, traffic-sign recognition, climate control, cruise control, reversing sensors, and autonomous-dipping headlights are standard.

Other features like split-folding rear seats, autonomous emergency braking, an upgraded infotainment display, a center armrest, and Tech Line Nav, which includes lane-keeping assistance and fatigue warning system, are also available either as the standard or optional on the higher trim levels.

Closing

The 2020 Opel Grandland X is an excellent SUV, especially for families.
