Vauxhall Grandland (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of interior space	Very average to drive
Electric version is attractively priced	Quality isn’t what it might be
Plenty of standard equipment	Mild hybrid version can be noisy

Quick Summary

The Vauxhall Grandland is the brand's entry into the competitive mid-size SUV market, taking on established rivals like the Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai. It features Vauxhall's signature 'Vizor' front-end design and is built on the same platform as the Peugeot 3008. The Grandland's main strength is its practicality; it offers generous passenger space in the front and rear, plus a large 550-litre boot in mild-hybrid and front-wheel-drive electric versions, making it a very useful family car.

Powertrain choices include a 1.2-litre mild hybrid and a fully electric version with front- or all-wheel drive. Performance is modest across the range, and the driving experience is unexceptional, with a ride that can feel unsettled and light steering that lacks feedback. The interior quality is a mixed bag, with some cheaper plastics, and the mild-hybrid engine can be noisy when pushed. However, the electric model is priced competitively and offers a respectable claimed range of over 300 miles.

Best for: Families prioritising interior space and boot capacity, buyers attracted to the competitive pricing of the electric model, and those who like Vauxhall's modern styling.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking an engaging or comfortable ride, those who want a premium-quality cabin, or buyers looking for strong performance.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Grandland if: You need a practical and spacious family SUV, are attracted to the pricing of the electric model, and like Vauxhall's current design language.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise an engaging driving experience, a premium-feeling cabin, or the most comfortable ride in its class.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Grandland is a practical and roomy SUV with distinctive styling. However, it sits in an incredibly competitive class and ultimately delivers an average performance. Its ride can be unsettled, its interior quality is mixed, and it lacks the all-round excellence of class leaders like the Kia Sportage. While competent, it doesn't do enough to stand out against more talented alternatives.
