“The Vauxhall Grandland is a sensible, spacious family SUV with the option of efficient plug-in hybrid power, but it can’t compete with the best in class.” (Ellis Hyde)

“Vauxhall has drastically improved this latest Grandland, with a much smarter design and high-tech interior that really lift this model.” (Ted Welford)

“The most powerful version of Vauxhall’s mid-size SUV offers a decent amount of performance, but it’s more likely to appeal to company car drivers rather than all-out enthusiasts.”

“By offering a significant level of electrification, the Vauxhall Grandland is relatively refined and should be cheap to run for private buyers and business users. However, despite the efficiency potential the PHEV isn’t perfect and comes with compromises, even if there is a lot of kit on offer.”

Model reviewed: 2022 facelift range
Score: 8 / 10
“The new, simplified Vauxhall Grandland range represents better value than its predecessor, while the design updates and new infotainment tech make it more appealing. However, while the powertrain is punchy and the Vauxhall offers improvements and fair efficiency, the Grandland’s ride and its infotainment tech could be more polished.”

“A raft of visual updates have definitely freshened the Grandland and Vauxhall’s range feels more cohesive. But it’s still a mid-table player at best, neither offending nor exciting potential buyers, albeit delivering strong efficiency, respectable comfort and practicality, and some strong tech.”

“We’ve always been more convinced by the lower end of the Vauxhall Grandland X line-up; and our judgement here hasn’t changed.”

“Vauxhall’s tempting finance deals make it an interesting proposition, but we’d save some cash and opt for one of the cheaper and better-value engine and spec combinations.”

“The Grandland doesn’t deal with the GSe’s extra power well – and despite the extra traction from the four-wheel drive system, grip levels are easily found.”

“This version of the Grandland X is the most convincing in terms of driving experience and equipment offered, but the least convincing when it comes to value for money.”

Model reviewed: 1.6-litre petrol-electric automatic plug-in hybrid Hybrid4
Score: 7 / 10
“This Hybrid4 powertrain delivers a great mix of performance and efficiency, which were two things that the Grandland X was lacking. But they can’t improve on the regular Grandland X formula, which is far from lacking, but also not the best crossover on sale today.”

“There’s little to tell the Hybrid model from other Grandland X models, which makes the prices look steep. However, its refinement and financial proposition, especially when the cheaper front-drive models arrive, gives Vauxhall a good contender in the PHEV sector.”

“If the Vauxhall Grandland X was a pair of shoes, it would be a pair of Clarks – a firm that’s daggy image clouds the fact that it produces quality footwear. The Grandland X, meanwhile, has an uninspiring exterior and boring interior that mask what is fundamentally a decent family car.”

“The Grandland X is Vauxhall’s first all-new model since it was acquired as part of PSA Group. Built in France, it’s Vauxhall’s largest SUV, fitting above the Mokka X and Crossland X in the range.”

“Should you buy a Vauxhall Grandland X rather than the plethora of competitors? No reason why not. It is a very good-looking car and doesn’t divide opinion in the manner of the Peugeot 3008.”

“We love the smooth, fast drivetrain, but with that exception this hybrid Vauxhall Grandland X feels far too ordinary to justify its steep price tag. Best make sure you haggle hard, then – or alternatively, go for the Business Edition, which makes vastly more sense.”

“If you want a more conservatively styled Peugeot 3008 then there is some logic to buying Vauxhall’s largest SUV. However, while competent at most things, the Grandland X fails to excel in any particular area.”

“If you can look past the silly name, you’ll get a practical crossover that offers a decent, albeit limited engine range, roomy interior and most of the safety features and tech that buyers want these days. All that is wrapped up in a reasonably well-priced package.”
