Vauxhall Crossland X (2017-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of equipment, whichever trim you choose	Not very exciting to drive
Well priced used examples	Some reliability issues
Spacious inside for a relatively small car	The non-turbo 1.2-litre model is slow

Quick Summary

The Vauxhall Crossland X (2017-2020) is a compact crossover SUV that replaces the Meriva MPV with a contemporary design and modern appeal. Positioned below the larger Grandland X and alongside the Mokka X, the Crossland X is front-wheel drive only and firmly aimed at families. The interior is exceptionally spacious for its size, with plenty of headroom and legroom. Some models feature a Versatility Pack with sliding rear seats to prioritise either legroom or boot space, offering up to 520 litres of storage. Every model includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto connectivity.

On the road, the Crossland X balances agility and comfort well, with suspension that absorbs poor road surfaces whilst remaining composed through corners. The steering is light and easy for town manoeuvring, though it can feel vague at times. Trim levels changed throughout its production run but all models are well equipped, ranging from entry-level Sport to the premium Ultimate. Diesel models offer the best fuel economy, with later 1.5-litre engines promising up to 61.4mpg. Running costs are reasonable, with insurance groups between eight and 19, and servicing due annually or every 16,000 miles.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, well-equipped compact SUV with good value, practical interior space, and reasonable running costs.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising engaging driving dynamics, those concerned about reliability, or buyers seeking a non-turbo petrol engine with adequate performance.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Crossland X if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped compact SUV with good value, practical interior space, and reasonable running costs for family use.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging driving dynamics, have concerns about reliability, or require a non-turbo petrol engine with adequate performance.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Crossland X (2017-2020) is a strong contender in the compact SUV market, offering excellent value and practicality. Whilst it may not match rivals like the Renault Captur or Peugeot 2008 for driving engagement, its spacious interior, comprehensive equipment across all trim levels, and competitive pricing make it an attractive choice for families. However, potential reliability concerns warrant thorough inspection before purchase. The Nissan Juke offers similar value, whilst the Renault Captur and Peugeot 2008 provide more dynamic driving experiences at slightly higher price points.
