When the OPEL Crossland X first appeared on showroom floors in sunny South Africa in 2017, the compact crossover was available with a choice of two engine variants – a standard 1.2L petrol engine, and a decidedly zippy turbo-charged 1.2L petrol engine. Fast-forward to 2018, and SA motorists were given the option of driving off in a Crossland X that boasted a 1.6-litre turbodiesel under the hood.
