Both the 120 hp (89 kW) diesel and 130 hp (97 kW) petrol models get a six speed manual gearbox; the other engines come with five speed manuals. A six speed automatic is available, in conjunction with the 110 hp (82 kW) engine. The LPG model is based on the entry level naturally aspirated petrol engine.

Sales
The car was officially shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2017. It went on sale in the summer of 2017. At the same time, the Opel Meriva was discontinued, as demand for crossovers and SUVs in the B segment is continually growing at the expense of compact MPVs.[5] In March 2018, Opel announced that over 100,000 orders for the Crossland X had already been taken.[6]
