The Vauxhall Crossland X is the smallest SUV/crossover in the Vauxhall family, although it’s not much smaller than the Mokka X. It was launched in early 2017.
The Crossland X is the first model in the Vauxhall range to share most of its underpinnings with similar vehicles from its new parent company, the French-owned PSA Group. In this case, the Crossland X is based on the same platform as the Peugeot 2008 and Citroën C3 Aircross.
The Vauxhall Crossland X has received generally average reviews from the UK motoring media. Our unique Expert Rating system has compiled scores from more than a dozen of the top reviews, which translates into an overall Expert Rating score that is in the bottom half of this market segment and well behind the class leaders.
The Crossland X has received praise for being practical and good value for money, but has been criticised for being unrefined and disappointing to drive.

“If you avoid the top-spec engine and trim combinations, the Vauxhall Crossland X is a well-equipped and good value Nissan Juke rival with bags of space for growing families.”

“The Vauxhall Crossland X ticks several boxes that’ll be important to many buyers considering a small SUV. It’s reasonably practical for its size, it’s reasonably comfortable to drive, it’s affordable to buy and run and it’s more stylish than your average hatchback. For a lot of small families after capable daily transport, that’ll be plenty.”

“The Vauxhall Crossland X isn’t a car that makes you yearn to take it for a spin. But that’s missing the point somewhat, because for its target market it does the job admirably well, and while we wouldn’t buy one, we suspect quite a lot of people might if sales of the Mokka X are anything to go by. “

“While it is by no means a class leader, the Vauxhall Crossland X does most things decently. It is spacious, well equipped and has a good infotainment system. However, the poor drive and ride and below-par interior materials do let it down significantly.”

“The Vauxhall Crossland X has good engines, a nice infotainment system and a practical interior. It isn’t the best small SUV to drive, though.”

“Should you or shouldn’t you? There’s a lot of competition. But the styling and the colours have a lot of appeal, while the 1.2T 130 offers an excellent combination of performance and economy for a small SUV.”

“The Vauxhall Crossland X is more practical than the likes of a Renault Captur or Nissan Juke. But small crossover buyers are spoilt for choice – and that means it’s tricky to recommend.”

“In both concept and execution, the Vauxhall Crossland X is superior to the Meriva it replaces, as well as being one of the roomier and more economical compact SUVs.”

“Frankly, the Vauxhall Crossland X is disappointing in too many areas. While it’s reasonably practical and easy to use, it’s unrefined and not very pleasant to drive. Nor does it feel particularly special inside.”
