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 practical and family-oriented compact SUV, introduced to replace the Meriva MPV. Positioned below the Grandland X, it’s front-wheel drive and designed for on-road family use. It offers a very spacious interior with ample headroom and legroom, and some models include a Versatility Pack with sliding rear seats, expanding boot space up to 520 litres. All models come well-equipped with touchscreen infotainment, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

On the road, the Crossland X provides a comfortable ride and light steering, making it easy to manoeuvre in urban environments, though it's not particularly exciting to drive. Running costs are reasonable, with efficient diesel engines and affordable insurance groups. Servicing is manageable, and used examples are generally well-priced against rivals. However, potential buyers should be aware of some reported reliability concerns.

Best for: Families needing a spacious and practical compact SUV, budget-conscious buyers seeking a well-equipped used car, and urban drivers prioritising ease of manoeuvrability.

Not ideal for: Enthusiastic drivers seeking dynamic handling, those who desire premium interior finishes, or buyers with strong reliability concerns.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Crossland X if: You're a family needing a spacious and practical compact SUV, seeking a well-equipped used car at a good price, or primarily drive in urban areas and value light steering.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise an exciting driving experience, desire premium interior quality, or are wary of potential reliability issues.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Crossland X (2017-2020) is a sensible choice in the compact SUV segment, offering excellent practicality, a spacious interior, and generous equipment levels for its price point in the used market. While it doesn't stand out for driving excitement or luxurious materials, its family-friendly design and reasonable running costs make it a strong contender, particularly for budget-conscious buyers. However, potential buyers should research reported reliability issues and compare against rivals for driving dynamics.
