Opel Grandland X 2021: a promising crossover of a new lineup.
On the European market, the Opel brand crossover range is represented by a new model of a five-door subcompact — Opel Grandland X 2021.
In its current embodiment, the new model is recognizable by the characteristic features of the corporate design; there are also layout solutions from some European counterparts.
Exterior
The external appearance of the crossover lacks elements of aggression, traditional for modern SUVs; smooth, streamlined body lines demonstrate a combination of functionality, practicality and good aerodynamic performance.
Judging by the large number of positive reviews, the company may be planning a restyling at a later time.
According to the established rules, the brightest and most expressive details of the exterior decor are concentrated on the front of the body.
In the photo in the frontal view, the new Opel Grandland X 2021 demonstrates:
• ribbed reliefs of the hood;
• Trapezoidal blocks of budget xenon optics decorated with energetic strokes of running lights;
• large format radiator cladding decorated with a winged brand logo;
• protruding stepped bumper profile and angular contours of the side diffusers.
In the design features of the lower front end there is a black plastic mesh for the intake of the engine compartment cooling system, classic round anti-fog lampshades and a silvery protective and decorative panel of a small-sized body kit.
From a profile perspective, the new body of the subcompact crossover attracts attention:
• dynamic silhouette of a «floating» roof;
• contrast of the upper chrome-plated semi-perimeter and black plastic trim of two-section glazing;
• embossed sidewalls and roomy wheel arches.
The off-road status of the novelty confirms the high ground clearance, the overhangs shortened to the nominal value, the massive plastic protection of the lower perimeter of the body and the large diameter of the original two-color wheels.
Elements of the European crossover classics are visible in the design of the stern. In the spotlight:
• massive pillars and reflectors of the spoiler visor;
• oval rear window configuration;
• High tailgate decorated with branding and cross-stepped relief.
The entourage is complemented by modern graphics of combined lamps, a set of nameplates and fog lamps, as well as a figured overlay of a massive plastic body kit.
The crossover does not amaze the imagination with a futuristic body design, on the contrary, it looks modern, stylish, and most importantly — friendly.
Interior
The basic design of the roomy five-seat interior is dominated by a combination of dark trim with contrasting chrome accents.
The design of the multifunction steering wheel, equipped with compact blocks of command buttons, opens an excellent overview of the informative dashboard with arrow indicators and an easy-to-read car computer display.

• armrest, which simultaneously serves as a cover for a container for personal belongings and small-sized luggage.
Front row riders are provided with AGR certified comfortable seating, complete with lateral bolsters and extended service adjustments.
The sofa, welcoming in all respects, can accommodate three passengers.
The 514-liter luggage compartment of the body, which is not the most roomy in its class, can be increased to 1,652 liters due to the simplified rearrangement of the rear seats.
