The facelifted Opel Grandland has been revealed and it adopts the handsome styling first seen on the radical-looking Mokka.

The revisions are far more than just cosmetic though. The X from Grandland X has been dropped and the car adopts the Vizor front styling language seen on the rest of the family. It gains smart matrix LED headlight tech which feature84 light-emitting diodes per cluster and there’s even a night version system.

Inside, the Opel Grandland has a tweaked dashboard that features a two-screen setup. Customers now have a 10-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system. The buttons and airvents have been updated and it looks like the gearshift is straight from the PSA parts bin. As far as tech goes, thefacelifted Opel Grandland features a 360-degree camera and adaptive cruise control, as well as active lane-keeping assist and automatic parking.

There’s no mention of engines and transmissions, but as you can see from these images the car will feature some form of electrification. As far as engines go, we suspect the 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder motor will continue to be offered. For the European market, this powertrain is available as a hybrid with an electric motor driving one axle and the petrol engine drives the other, giving it all-wheel-drive capability.

Since PSA took over Opel and Vauxhall, the company has turned a corner, and yes, while new Opel products share common elements from the French, it appears that Opel is able to stand on its own two feet again. The new Opel Mokka looks revolutionary, the Opel Crossland has been given an update and there’s a new Opel Astra in the works and if the teaser images are anything to go by, it’s going to be a cracker.
