Higher, wider and heavier than Peugeot 2008 SUV – so also less economical?
The Crossland is Opel’s offering in the popular B-SUV segment. We previously reviewed the fuel consumption of the Peugeot 2008 SUV, with which the Crossland shares its technical basis. The Rüsselsheimer is almost five centimeters higher and more than eight centimeters wider than the Frenchman – and also almost 100 kilograms heavier. Do we see that reflected in fuel consumption?
Under the hood of the Opel Crossland X – just Crossland after the facelift – is the now well-known 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbo engine from Stellantis. Where it carries the PureTech label in French models, Opel simply calls it ‘Turbo’. With the Germans, the block delivers 110 or 130 hp, the first of which is best represented in the AutoWeek Consumption Monitor.
Consumption Opel Crossland Turbo
We combine the consumption values ​​of the 110 and 130 hp versions because the basis of this engine is the same. Below the line appears a consumption average of 1 to 16.4 (6.1 l/100 km). The most economical Crossland X 1.2 Turbo is a 110 hp version, with which the owner has been driving an average of 1 to 18.9 (5.3 l/100 km) for more than 50,000 kilometers. The least economical ‘crossa’ also has 110 hp, but consumption remains at 1 in 14.7 (6.8 l/100 km).
The similarities of all these values ​​with those of the Peugeot 2008 are striking, because the extra size of the Opel does not lead to significantly higher consumption in practice. On the contrary, with the Frenchman, users drive, with an average of 1 in 16.3 (6.2 l / 100 km), even narrowly less economical. The Volkswagen T-Cross is more economical with an average consumption of 1 in 17, but also slightly less powerful.
