We’ve heard and seen quite a bit from the upcoming Opel Meriva replacement, which will ditch its MPV looks, and become a more traditional crossover utility vehicle. However, the new vehicle has a new name.
According to Automotive News, Meriva is out, and Crossland X is in. Opel CEO Dr. Karl Thomas Neumann stated the new CUV will be aimed at consumers looking for an SUV-like vehicle, but with less masculine design and more cargo practicality.
The Crossland X is also said to have many design elements borrowed from the quirky Opel Adam, especially at the vehicle’s C-pillar. The Crossland X is one product of the nearly dissolved GM-PSA partnership. The next Peugeot 2008 and Citroen C3 Picasso will have an identical platform to the Opel.
As for when Europeans can expect the Crossland X, Opel stated it will launch in 2017 as part of a massive product front. It will also be built alongside the Opel Mokka X in Zaragoza, Spain.
