Vauxhall Grandland X (2017-2021) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Vey well equipped	Doesn't excel in any one area
Pleasant to drive	Many rivals are more interesting inside and out
Inoffensive styling	Slight question marks over reliability

Quick Summary

The Vauxhall Grandland X (2017-2021) is a conventional but well-proportioned SUV that shares much of its underpinnings with the Peugeot 3008. While its styling is less striking than some rivals, it offers a spacious interior with plenty of room for adults in the back and a flat floor for improved comfort. The boot capacity of 514 litres (1,652 litres with seats folded) is competitive, making it a practical choice for families, and even base models come well-equipped with features like cruise control, climate control, and smartphone integration.

On the road, the Grandland X provides a pleasant and comfortable ride, soaking up most bumps, though its steering is accurate rather than involving. Engine options include a 1.2-litre petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel, and efficient plug-in hybrid variants. While new models suffered from depreciation, this makes used examples a strong bargain. Running costs are reasonable, particularly for the diesel and hybrid models, and service intervals are notably long, contributing to its appeal as a cost-effective used SUV.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, families needing a spacious and well-equipped SUV, and those looking for a practical and comfortable used car with decent running costs.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising engaging handling, distinctive styling, or a premium interior feel, as rivals like the Seat Ateca or Peugeot 3008 offer more flair.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Grandland X if: You're on a budget, seeking a spacious and well-equipped SUV for families, or looking for a practical and comfortable used car with decent running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging handling, distinctive styling, a premium interior feel, or want a car that excels in a particular area.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Grandland X is a solid contender in the used SUV market, offering good value thanks to its initial depreciation. While it doesn't stand out in any single area compared to rivals like the Skoda Karoq (better looking), Seat Ateca (superior to drive), or Nissan Qashqai (cheaper all-rounder), its shared platform with the Peugeot 3008 ensures a competent package. Its practicality, comfortable ride, and generous standard equipment make it a sensible and cost-effective choice for many buyers.
