About Grandland
The Grandland is Vauxhall's answer to the family SUV boom, the car that carries the brand into the heart of a market dominated by the Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage and Ford Kuga. It arrived in 2017 as the Grandland X, developed through a partnership with PSA that began before the French group bought Opel and Vauxhall, and it shared its mechanical package with the Peugeot 3008. It was roomy, comfortable and sensibly priced, if rarely the car anyone dreamed about owning.
A facelift dropped the X from its name and added the flat Vizor front, and a plug-in hybrid version, including a four-wheel-drive model, found favor with company-car drivers. The second generation, launched in 2024, moved to Stellantis's STLA Medium platform and grew in size, offering mild-hybrid and plug-in powertrains alongside a fully electric Grandland Electric with a long-range battery option. It is built at Eisenach in Germany, one of the Opel plants that survived Stellantis's restructuring.
Reviews have praised its space, comfort and electric range while finding its driving manner unremarkable and its interior conservative. The Grandland competes in one of the most crowded classes of all, against the Peugeot 3008, Volkswagen Tiguan, Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson as well as fast-growing Chinese rivals such as the BYD Sealion and MG HS. For Vauxhall it carries particular weight as one of its biggest sellers and a key tool in meeting Britain's electric-car targets.
News here covers the Grandland alongside the wider Vauxhall story, including pricing and trims, lease deals, reviews, long-term reports, recalls and the brand's redesigns and concepts. Shoppers will find the practical questions in focus: how the electric version's range holds up in real use, how the hybrids compare on running costs and whether a Vauxhall badge still competes on value against an increasingly aggressive field of newcomers that promise more equipment for less money.
