Vauxhall Crossland (2021-2024) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Plenty of space inside	No electric or hybrid version
More striking to look at than its predecessor	Rivals like Seat Arona or Ford Puma are much better to drive
Reasonably well equipped	Automatic emergency braking not available on entry-level model

Quick Summary

The Vauxhall Crossland (2021-2024) received a significant facelift, transforming it from the Crossland X into a more appealing and practical small SUV. It offers a decent amount of interior space with good headroom, and higher-spec models feature a sliding rear bench for increased legroom or boot volume. The boot capacity is generous for its class, ranging from 410 litres to 520 litres. While not a driver's car, it handles reasonably well, with light steering making it easy to manoeuvre, though the ride can be a little firm in town. Engine options include a recommended turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol (110bhp or 128bhp) and two 1.5-litre diesels for better fuel economy, with the 1.2 130 being the only petrol available with an automatic gearbox. All models come with a touchscreen infotainment system featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Running costs are reasonable, and as a used car, it offers good value due to historical Vauxhall depreciation. While it ceased production in 2024, it stands as a well-equipped and practical choice for those seeking an affordable small SUV.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a practical and well-equipped small SUV, buyers looking for good value in the used market.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium badge appeal, the finest handling dynamics (like a Ford Puma or Seat Arona), or those who need automatic emergency braking on entry-level models.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Crossland if: You're on a budget, seeking a practical and well-equipped small SUV, or looking for good value in the used market.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise premium badge appeal, the finest handling dynamics, or require automatic emergency braking as standard on all trims.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Crossland (2021-2024) is a practical and well-equipped small SUV that offers good value, especially as a used car. While it significantly improved upon its predecessor, it faces stiff competition. It excels in practicality and affordability but doesn't match rivals like the Ford Puma or Seat Arona for driving dynamics, nor does it offer the comfort of a Skoda Kamiq. However, its distinctive styling, generous interior space, and reasonable running costs make it a sensible choice for budget-conscious families.
