What features does the Vauxhall Grandland have?

With even the latest entry-level Grandland models getting an infotainment touchscreen with smartphone connectivity, the Grandland is a car that impresses with its tech.  

Driver aids and safety features include side blind spot assist, lane positioning assist, and speed sign recognition.  

You also get front and rear parking sensors, and there’s a panoramic camera option if you choose the Ultimate trim.  

LED lights are standard across the range, and there’s a handy night vision camera available with the Ultimate trim that provides an infrared view of the road in front and any hazards that can be spotted.  

Is the Vauxhall Grandland reliable?

The Vauxhall Grandland – under its previous name of ‘Grandland X’ – was awarded a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating in 2017. A rating of 85% was given for adult occupants, while children received 87%.  

There are plenty of safety features on board, including lane departure warning systems and automatic emergency braking. These help make it a safe car that you’ll feel secure driving your family in.  

The Grandland usually scores well on reliability surveys, and Vauxhall as a brand is considered a reliable manufacturer. The car is particularly praised in driver reviews for its build quality and low running costs.  

How much does the Vauxhall Grandland cost to run?

The cheapest Vauxhall Grandland model to run is the PHEV variant, as you’ll get support from the electric motor and battery to reduce fuel consumption. Vauxhall claims you can achieve up to 192mpg.  

The 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine is claimed to be capable of up to 44.1mpg in the automatic variant, while the 1.5-litre diesel can achieve up to 54.3mpg.  

The Grandland sits in insurance groups 15 to 34, so it shouldn’t be too pricey to insure depending on your individual circumstances.  

Who is the Vauxhall Grandland suitable for?

The Grandland is a real all-rounder SUV and will be just as ideal for a large family as it would for the solo adventurer. Anyone who needs a spacious cabin with five seats will get along well with this model.  

The 512-litre boot of the petrol and diesel models also makes it perfect for families or those who need to cart a lot around.  

You’ll easily be able to load in a pushchair or a couple of suitcases, and if you flatten the rear seats then you can get up to 1,652 litres of loading space.  

Low running costs also make it ideal if you want to stick to a budget, alongside the added hybrid tech that helps reduce fuel consumption.
