Brief test: Opel Grandland X 2.0 CDTI Ultimate
The first question we were asked when Grandland X came to the editorial office (the previous one, when we published the big test, but also this time when we got all the best), of course: Oplovci replacing the Peugeot 3008 (that is, we already wrote about it in the tests, deservedly became the European car of the year) did the car "break down"?
The answer is clear: no. Well, almost nothing. In fact, it has been improved in some areas.
Where is it worse? Of course, on the manometers. While the 3008 has a good infotainment system, the Grandland X lacks the excellent all-digital sensors of its French counterpart. So you have to be content (well, some old-school shoppers might even like it a lot more) with two classic analog sensors, flanked by a monochrome LCD screen (which can display more information and make it better organized). The seats are better than the 3008, however, and overall this Grandland X (due to its shape) has a grown-up feel.
The combination of a two-liter diesel engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission is great! The engine is powerful enough (177 "horsepower" just for such a car), very quiet (for a diesel) and smooth, and the transmission gets along well with it. Eight gears mean the tachometer needle doesn't move much, and the range is also sufficient for quicker highway adventures. Nevertheless, consumption remains very moderate.
Ultimate equipment represents the pinnacle of the Grandland offering, including the offer of assistance systems. Interestingly, the optional active cruise control stops the car in the convoy, but it turns off, so you need to manually start and accelerate to 30 kilometers per hour, and then turn it back on.
A small comment could be made, for example, on the quality of workmanship (in some places there are pieces of plastic that creak when pressed), but in general we can safely say that the “French” quality of Opel brought only positive qualities to Grandland; one of the best Opel at the moment - especially in this combination of drive and equipment. And this is about 35 thousand (if you refuse leather upholstery).
