Many will be the novelties of Opel in 2017, and the starting signal will be given by this Crossland X that marks also the beginning of the abandonment of the segment of the minivans on the part of the brand.
This Crossland X comes to take the place of the Meriva, quality product that appeared at the wrong time and not met the remarkable success. When replacing, the German house did not hesitate and changed the minivan for an SUV. And for that there should be no doubt, the Automobile changed everything, even the name.
The Crossland X is not going to be in Geneva, to be presented on the 18th, or two days, some newspapers. The only picture released was this the front of the car, where it can be seen that the grill and headlights are very similar to those of the Bicentennial.
The platform Crossland X is provided by the PSA group, which means that this will be a sort of "cousin" of the Citroen C3 Aircross, which is also a SUV that is coming to take the place of a minivan, in this case, the citroën C3 Picasso.
The Opel will be published on Wednesday, the citroën C3 Aircross later, already in the Hall of Geneva, so both will be manufactured in Spain, in the production unit of the PSA of Zaragoza. Part of the platform and the place of production, the Crossland X and the C3 Picasso could not be more far from each other, because the marks wanted to avoid the points of contact between the models.
therefore, the interior, the dashboard, the central console, systems of info-entertainment, storage of the banks and of the trunk, everything will be different, claims the Opel, Citroen.
Because the platform of PSA do not have versions of all-wheel drive, the Crossland X will be only with front-wheel drive, which helps to reduce costs and offer prices of an attack on a segment that looks like a bag of cats.
(Why?)
