AutoWeek Consumption Monitor provides insight
Since the Insignia disappeared, the Opel Grandland has been the largest model in the Opel range. Before its extensive facelift, the car was known as the Grandland X and, as is known, shares its genes with the Peugeot 3008. Of course, it also shares its powertrain with this French SUV, including the 1.2-liter PureTech turbo engine. Such a small block in a large car, is that still a bit economical?
It is not the first time that this 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo engine makes an appearance in this section, although it usually concerns the less powerful variants. Although the Grandland X was also available with a 1.6-liter turbo engine, you will only find it in the plug-in hybrid variants after the facelift. In the AutoWeek Consumption Monitor we almost only see 1.2 liters. That is a good thing: after all, those figures also apply to the now newly delivered Grandland.
Consumption Opel Grandland 1.2 Turbo 130 hp
The 1.2-liter PureTech, which is simply called ‘Turbo’ at Opel, always delivers 130 hp in the Grandland. On average, the twelve owners who enter their receipts consume 1 in 13.9 (7.3 l/100 km). The lower limit is determined by the driver of a 2019 Grandland X Business Executive, who covered 19,254 km with an average consumption of exactly 1 in 12 (8.3 l/100 km). When he fills up several times, he gives the explanation: ‘through Germany, fully loaded’.
The most economical Grandland X performs significantly better. The driver of this 2018 Ultimate version recorded an average consumption of 1 to 16.6 (6 l/100 km) over twenty months and 51,323 kilometers. This driver indicates that he mainly drives on the highway and states the average speed driven each time he refuels. This is usually between 70 and 80 km/h, which indicates a lot of highway use and probably mainly 100 km/h on the speedometer.
You can decide for yourself whether you find 1 in 13.9 favorable for this car-engine combination. To put it in perspective: with a Ford Kuga 1.5 EcoBoost 150 hp, drivers score an average of 1 in 12.5, while the hybrid Kia Sportage easily leaves both models behind.
