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 designed for families prioritising practicality over off-road capability. The interior is exceptionally spacious for its footprint, with generous headroom and legroom. Some models feature a Versatility Pack with sliding rear seats that can be adjusted 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 with comfort, featuring suspension that absorbs poor road surfaces whilst remaining composed through corners. The steering is light and easy to manage in town, though it can feel somewhat vague. Diesel models deliver the best fuel economy, with newer 1.5-litre engines achieving up to 61.4mpg, whilst turbocharged petrols offer improved efficiency without sacrificing power. Running costs are very reasonable, with servicing due annually or every 16,000 miles, and insurance groups ranging from eight to 19 of 50. As a used purchase, the Crossland X represents excellent value against rivals, though potential buyers should be aware of some reliability concerns and conduct thorough inspections before purchasing.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, well-equipped compact SUV with excellent value, those prioritising practicality and comfort, and buyers wanting modern styling with extensive trim options.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking an engaging driving experience, those concerned about reliability, or buyers requiring 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 excellent value, prioritising practicality and comfort for family use, and wanting modern styling with extensive trim options.

Consider alternatives if: You desire an engaging driving experience, 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 crossover market, offering exceptional value and spaciousness for families. Whilst it may not match rivals like the Renault Captur for expert ratings or the Peugeot 2008 for deal availability, its generous interior space, comprehensive equipment across all trim levels, and competitive pricing make it an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers. However, potential reliability concerns mean thorough inspections are essential before purchase, and those seeking dynamic handling should explore alternatives like the Nissan Juke.
