Plans for the Grandland X were known as early as May 2012, before PSA Peugeot Citroën officially indicated in December of that year that it would build the eventual replacement for the Zafira. [4]

The Grandland X was officially revealed on 18 April 2017 as Opel's flagship crossover SUV and premiered at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. [5] Opel started taking orders for the Grandland X in June 2017 and more than 100,000 orders were made by September 2018. [6] [7]

The Grandland I is based on the PSA EMP2 platform which is shared with related models which include the Peugeot 3008 II, Peugeot 5008 II, DS 7 Crossback and Citroën C5 Aircross. [8] However, its design intellectual property was registered by General Motors as the vehicle was developed under its ownership.

Facelift

In June 2021, the Grandland X received a facelift and was renamed to Opel Grandland, dropping the 'X' suffix. Changes includes the adoption of Opel's 'Vizor' front fascia (debut on the Mokka), new matrix LED lighting technology, a revamped interior with a new dual-touchscreen layout, new gear selector for the automatic transmission, and added safety features.
