Opel Crossland X’s Range-Topping 1.2L Turbo Engine Gains Six-Speed Auto Option

Opel is expanding the powertrain lineup of its Crossland X subcompact crossover with the addition of a six-speed automatic transmission as an option on the range-topping, 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine.

The optional auto ‘box enables the Crossland X 1.2 Turbo to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 10.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 198 km/h (123 mph). In this configuration, the three-cylinder direct injection gasoline engine produces 130 PS (128 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 230 Nm (170 lb-ft) at 1,750 rpm.

Compared to the version equipped with the six-speed manual, the automatic transmission increases fuel consumption by 0.3 liters/100 km on the NEDC combined cycle. On the WLTP cycle, average fuel economy is as low as 6.6 liters/100 km with corresponding CO2 emissions of 145 g/km.
