[POV] 2021 Opel Grandland X 1.6 Turbo Test Drive 

The Opel Grandland X is a new model for the Opel range, a mid-size SUV slotting in above the Opel Astra. Grandland X gives Opel a key product to compete for family buyers, who more and more are opting for SUVs. It's a good-looking SUV with a sleek and compact presence. It shares underpinnings and engines with the Peugeot 3008.
Inside, the dashboard design is simple and straightforward with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility on the 8” colour touchscreen. The quality is good and the design straightforward and easy to navigate. Inside the Grandland X there is reasonable space for five however the middle rear passenger will get short changed on leg and shoulder room. The boot is very generous with 514 liters of space.
The 1.6-litre turbocharged engine is nippy with plenty of torque, and refinement is excellent. It’s very smooth and efficient. On the road it’s an agile and pleasant SUV to drive with light but predictable steering. The handling is not going to set the world on fire, but as a family car that’s easy to drive and get along with, you can’t fault it.
