Looking for a compact SUV? Discover the Opel Crossland on Automar.pt - stylish, practical and perfect for urban life. Explore used Opel cars now.
The Opel Crossland is available with the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol (83 hp), the 1.2 turbo petrol (110 or 130 hp), and the 1.5 BlueHDi diesel (110 or 120 hp). The 1.2 turbo with the six-speed automatic is the most refined combination for daily driving in Portugal. All engines are front-wheel drive only, as Opel does not offer AWD on the Crossland.
Used Opel Crossland prices in Portugal typically range from EUR 10,000 for early 2018-2019 models to EUR 22,000 for fully loaded 2022-2023 units. The pre-facelift Crossland X (2017-2020) offers good value between EUR 10,000 and EUR 14,000. Diesel variants tend to retain slightly higher resale value due to their lower fuel costs on longer commutes.
The Crossland features a modular rear bench that slides by 150 mm, allowing owners to prioritise either legroom or boot space (from 410 to 520 litres). The raised seating position provides excellent visibility in urban traffic, and available features include a panoramic rear camera, IntelliGrip traction control, and heated seats. The 2021 facelift introduced the Vizor front design and updated infotainment with smartphone projection.
The 1.2 turbo petrol Crossland achieves approximately 5.5-6.3 L/100km in mixed driving, while the 1.5 diesel can return 4.5-5.2 L/100km under similar conditions. The naturally aspirated 1.2 petrol is best suited to light urban use, where it averages around 6.5-7.0 L/100km. For Portuguese drivers covering moderate distances, the turbo petrol offers the best balance of performance and economy.
Check the clutch and gearbox operation thoroughly, as some early 1.2 turbo models exhibited minor clutch judder at low speeds. Inspect the suspension components for wear, particularly if the car was used predominantly on poorly surfaced rural roads in Portugal. Verify that the air conditioning performs adequately, as the system can lose refrigerant over time without obvious leaks.
The Crossland and C3 Aircross share the same platform and engines, but the Crossland offers a more conservative, practical design with its sliding rear bench and slightly larger boot. The C3 Aircross counters with more playful styling and optional coloured roof panels. In Portugal, the Crossland is generally priced similarly to the C3 Aircross, with Opel dealerships sometimes offering more aggressive discounts.
