The Vauxhall Grandland has been a staple in the family SUV market since 2017, and now the second-generation model is here, bringing a fresh design and improved practicality. With its bold Visor styling and illuminated rear badge, the Grandland makes a smart impression, especially in the right color. Inside, the cabin is minimalist and functional, with hard plastics broken up by fabric inserts and a row of physical climate controls. While the steering wheel buttons feel cheap, the infotainment screen is responsive and angled toward the driver.
Spacious Interior and Generous Boot
As Vauxhall's largest family SUV, the Grandland excels in interior space. The rear seats comfortably accommodate three adults, and the 550-litre boot is ideal for family trips. The electric version, starting at around £36,000, offers a theoretical range of 322 miles and is surprisingly efficient. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants are also available at similar prices, but the electric model stands out for cost-conscious buyers.
Standard Kit and Value
The Grandland comes generously equipped as standard, a growing trait for Vauxhall. The top-spec Ultimate trim starts at just £38,840, making it competitive against rivals on the same Stellantis platform. While the Grandland is not the most exciting SUV in its class, it is a reliable and comfortable family car that prioritises function over flair.
For those who want a roomy, no-nonsense vehicle for daily commuting, school runs, and weekend adventures, the Grandland delivers. It looks smart without being brash, and it will safely transport your family and pets from A to B. If that's all you need, the Grandland is a fine choice.
