NOTE: A couple of corrections: I drove another car the following day which had a fully adjustable steering wheel. For both height and reach. Also, I found out later that the emergency braking system is a camera based system. That's why there is no radar control for an adaptive cruise control. -AJ

It is still a shame that not every trim level has a fully adjustable steering wheel. This is so absurd in 2017.

Love the crossland x had 2018 loved it now upgraded to the 2020 one. Love the way it's higher up off the road especially if you have back or knee problems.

Crossland X is a lovely comfortable family car

Keep it up! Looking forward for more videos from you, don't stop!

I am watching the review in 2020 - Thank you!

Very well done review! I like your fluent english and your attention to detail. Feeling well informed about the car now :)

Entertaining Review - thanks Aditya. Agree - even a simple HUD, as per your test car, is good; and in my opinion, they are a useful safety-feature, now that cars have so many more gadgets to avert your eyes! At the interesting roundabout section with the Q5, time 24:39, I couldn't make out the blind spot monitor warning light - perhaps it was off, or the light is very small - I like a nice big bright light - to avert my eyes!

Beautiful color and great looking car. Exterior is well designed with many similarities with new Peugeot crossover. But the interior is a totally different approach with this Opel looking more refined with noble material. It is better than Peugeot crossover.

I enjoyed the review, but perhaps some of the camera angles could have been better? For example around 9:40, 16:48 and 17:21, I think it would be nice to have a clear view of what's being discussed.

I’ve driven one a few times and I don’t like how the automatic gearbox shifts. It often is in a wrong gear in my opinion resulting in a vibrating car because of low rpm’s. Maybe something to look out for during a test drive. I’m comparing it to the 2019 Mercedes e220d automatic gearbox which of course is a more premium car. But the difference is HUGE haha

Have one it’s a nice car

Hallo Autogefühl.de, wie lautet die exakte Farbe des silbernen Crosslands? Ist es Argon Silber oder Lichtgrau? Bitte um Info, Viele Grüße

You speak English really well (prob better than my bastardised-English speaking Aussie self lol) - is it your second or primary language? I'm always really interested coz my mum grew up in Holland & used to harp on about how she had to learn like 5 languages at school.

Im single and tall. So i prefer a car in this size. But because of its uncomfortable armrest, i may go to Seat Arona then.

so it is the first psa opel?

If i would have been thinking of buying this crossover x.i think you've changed my mind, as re your comment in regards to poor motorway handling while driving in windy conditions. As an experienced driver of many years, it is not a nice experience getting buffeted about in these type of conditions. As stated ive had experienced of this before, and i would never buy a car that's not stable under such conditions. Im afraid this car gets a big NO.from me sorry.But i enjoyed your review none the less.Thank You.👍

No, the next 2008 is likely to use the CMP platform due to PSA's Chinese partnership.

Autogefühl yes you're right in saying that. The current 2008 shares it's platform with the Crossland X. It's called the PF1. But in the video you said the Crossland X shares it's platform with the upcoming 2008. This is not true :)

In general I think a CUV is better than an SUV because it's more compact, lighter and therefore more environment friendly. For a family with small kids this kind of car makes sense. It has reasonable space and adds a little lifestyle. It's comfortable and even has a head up display. For my taste however the Opel has too many quirky details like the lever of the handbrake, the missing horizontal adjustment of the steering, the strange bulky look or the wind noise. Poor engineers! For cost reasons they are forced to make too many rotten compromises. If I had a family with two little kids I would probably go for a spacious super mini like the new Seat Ibiza. It looks much much better, is much more agile, more compact, has a better fuel economy and no quirky details. For me and my wife the new KIA Picanto looks quite interesting. It definitely is on my test drive list before buying the next car. It looks nice (of course not breathtaking!), has a very good package for just 3,59 m in length, a solid build quality, a very well designed cockpit and interesting features like heated steering wheel, integrated sat nav, rear view camera, emergency brake assist, automatic climate control, cruise control, knee airbag and many others. Quite impressing for a mini car. The Picanto combines the advantages of high class cars like space, (reasonable) luxury and solid quality with very compact size, low price and environment friendly consumption figures.

Now that Opel is owned by the French, one thing I generally don't like with French cars is interior quality and layout. Germans on the other hand make excellent interiors and I hope PSA takes advantage of their German engineers who now work for them. As an American, I am very critical of American Auto Manufacturers, like Opel's former owners GM, because they generally just care about profits and to hell with reliability and overall build quality.

Jefff yes the interiors are very prone to wear after only a few years of use, whilst the german cars' interiors don't show so many signs of wear. But at IMO they generally look more interesting and not so boring. BTW this car looks like a total hard plastic chap, it already has scratches on the piano black surfaces as shown in the video :-D

Reminds me of my Qashqai...

What happened to Opel they used to make half decent cars.This looks like they took the roof off the Opel Adam and stuck it on mokka.They need advice from the vw group on how to make nice cars.Just look at what Skoda and Seat are doing.Hopefully the PSA group will change this and get some people in that can design a nice car.

Vauxhall isn't exactly known for its build quality but now that Peugeot owns them I'd imagine the overall quality to take a dive. I've owned two French cars and they were both crap and somewhat unreliable in their own ways.

ofcore you do. i am 193 cm long and i fit perfectly. the backseat isnt that big but you could fit.

I think this has to be one of the worst looking Opel / Vauxhalls in a long time. If you want top build quality then obviously you're not going to buy a GM product but at least GM products are usually robust (they need to be as GM's are commonplace in the rental market). But just look when AJ replaces the USB adapter in to the power socket (15:13 on the video ). I've never seen plastics as flimsy as that since the mid 90's - it looks like it's about to snap! If that's the build quality on parts of the car you can see, I'd be questioning the quality of the parts I can't see.

freshklinki93 Well looks like you're not in the target audience for this car. this obviously Sells. the crossing segment is overpopulated With women in particular. the most popular reason to get it is the cheap price for a raised small car. however i do agree there are a lot better models in this segment. 2008, mokka and Captur are waymore appealing. to eache their own

the rear is very ugly n look like a Chinese cars

Sorry Opel. It's one of the ugliest cars in the market today.
