For me, the arguments in favor of Grandland X became the German assembly and a reasonable balance of prices and equipment. The design of the first role was not played, but if you compare, the Opel likes me more than his funeral relative "Peugeot 3008". A big minus of both machines is the lack of a normal full drive (it is only in hybrids, but we do not sell them). Perhaps therefore these crossovers are not as popular in Russia, as they could. But okay, these are my reflections ...
For the "middle" version of Innovation gave about 2.2 million with dopes. In principle, there is everything you need. Multimedia, parking sensors, good diode headlights. Heated all seats, steering and windshield. The latter works fine, in winter is indispensable. But in the snowfall discovered a jamb: the wipers do not even join the centimeters of 8-10 at the rack, the ice and snow and snow arrive there. While the glass does not melt it, the dead zone is decent.
The absence of a full drive regretted this, my first with the "Opolem" in the winter. In the summer in the mud and forest, I do not go, so it is not critical. And here the snow acted normally ... And if it was harnessed, then this company Intelligrip from the "French" is normal 4x4 on a unclean road or in the snowdrifts in the yard will not be replaced. In addition, GRANDLAND X clearance is almost passenger, something about 170 mm. Mud and salty layers that fell off from the truck on the highway, it is better to go around.
I like the engine at 1. 6 liters, it decently pulls on the track, not tupit in the city. The machine is charm, classic lever, no joysticks. Handling ... Well, the one who sat behind the wheel of German cars will understand. Where to steer, there and goes. Independent brakes. Feels from the ride it is assembled, not such a "breakdown" and tea as "Peugeot", and that is good. Although specifically, I did not go on the Noteform 3008th fawn, so the comparison may be incorrect. But the "Opel" is clearly German settings, despite the French chassis.
Salon is not bad, although the finish for this money could be better. It seems the French in the amount of soft plastic won. Small throat to throw a lot of nowhere, the cup holders about nothing. The glove box is shining only if the ignition is turned on. But the seats are really cool here, very comfortable, approved by some German Association of Orthopedic doctors. I do not know how much marketing is in this, and how much truth, but I don't get tired at the wheel after five hours.
The rear passengers Grandland X does not like. Two adults man boil more or less, the third is already extra. With an increase in 184, I honestly tried to get a "myself", especially for this review (!), But I would not say that in such a position would go long. Well, empty from behind. From amenities only by blowing and one USB port. Family, what should you put at least two? Savings on matches. Even hooks on the top handles so that you can hang baby clothes, I will not buy.
