Opel South Africa, a subsidiary of Stellantis, is proud to introduce the new facelifted Crossland SUV which features a bold new look and striking new front-end design called the Opel Vizor.

The Opel Vizor can be closely linked to the past iconic Opel models, however, the new Vizor is not just a design statement, it also makes all Opel models ‘future ready’ by providing housing space for the sensors and cameras required by modern vehicles.

Organically integrating the grille and headlights, the Opel Vizor of the new Crossland extends in one single sweep, across the front of the vehicle. The brand’s legendary lightning-flash emblem proudly dominates the centre. The Vizor will become a hallmark of all Opel models in the future.

The makeover also incorporates new dark tinted taillights at the rear, and the new high-gloss black Tailgate surface (available in combination with the black roof) which makes the new Crossland look wider and stronger.

Also new are the front and rear skid plates, LED fog lamps (on the Elegance model) and stylish 16-inch light alloy wheels. Another distinguishing characteristic is the rear Crossland badge which is laid out across the tailgate.

Crisp and compact on the outside, spacious, and versatile on the inside with a cool modern and distinctive SUV look, this new Opel Crossland SUV is the first to adopt the brand’s unmistakeable new face.

Enthusiastic drivers will especially enjoy the improvements Opel has made to the new Crossland’s chassis.

Engineers in Rüsselsheim have developed new damper tuning for the McPherson strut front Suspension and the torsion-beam rear axle giving the Opel Crossland a distinctly ‘Opel’ Ride and Handling.

Combined with an improved steering position which offers precise handling and a gear change which is quick and light, the Crossland’s chassis delivers a more dynamic drive with an optimum balance of comfort and agility as well as stability when navigating the country’s highways.
