Vauxhall Grandland (2021-2024) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Affordable plug-in hybrid model	Anodyne driving experience
Generous equipment levels	Some cheap plastics inside
Great petrol engine	Plug-in hybrid has a small boot

Quick Summary

The Vauxhall Grandland (2021-2024) is a refreshed mid-size SUV, updated from the Grandland X. It features a new Vauxhall family-aligned nose and a significantly improved interior, aiming to boost its appeal in a highly competitive segment against rivals like the Ford Kuga and Skoda Karoq. This generation was replaced by a second-generation Grandland in 2024.

The Grandland offers good passenger space and a practical 514-litre boot, though plug-in hybrid models lose some capacity due to battery placement. Its petrol engine is praised for its gutsy performance, while the hybrid system provides a seamless blend of power. Equipment levels are generous across its simplified trim range, including LED headlights and larger touchscreens on higher trims. Running costs are respectable, with petrol models achieving around 40mpg, and Vauxhall offers affordable servicing.

Best for: Buyers seeking a spacious and practical family SUV, those interested in an affordable plug-in hybrid option (especially for company car users), and drivers looking for generous equipment levels and affordable running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising exhilarating driving dynamics, a highly versatile or premium-feeling interior, or those who need maximum boot space in a plug-in hybrid.

The Verdict

You should buy the Grandland if: You're looking for a spacious and practical family SUV with decent equipment levels, or an affordable plug-in hybrid option, especially if you're a company car driver.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a more engaging driving experience, a highly versatile or premium-feeling interior, or require maximum boot space in a plug-in hybrid.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Grandland (2021-2024) holds a middle-ground position in the competitive mid-size SUV market. It offers good value, practicality, and an efficient petrol engine, alongside an appealing plug-in hybrid option. While it doesn't lead in driving dynamics or interior versatility compared to some rivals, its refreshed styling, generous equipment, and affordable running costs make it a sensible and honest choice for many family buyers.
