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 Vauxhall's largest SUV, sharing its platform and many components with the well-regarded Peugeot 3008. While its styling is conventional and perhaps less attention-grabbing than rivals, it offers a spacious and practical interior with good quality materials. It provides ample room for adults in the rear and a substantial 514-litre boot, making it a capable family car.

On the road, the Grandland X offers a pleasant, if not particularly involving, driving experience with decent ride quality. Engine options include a 1.2-litre petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel, and efficient plug-in hybrid variants, though achieving high hybrid MPG figures requires frequent charging. While new models suffered from depreciation, this makes used examples a strong bargain. With good equipment levels even on lower trims, it presents a sensible, well-equipped, and practical option for used car buyers.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a spacious and practical family SUV, and buyers looking for a well-equipped used car bargain.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising striking design, class-leading driving dynamics, or premium badge appeal, or those who won't consistently charge a hybrid model.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Grandland X if: You're on a budget, seeking a sensible, spacious, and practical family SUV, or looking for a well-equipped used car bargain.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise striking design, class-leading driving dynamics, or premium badge appeal.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Grandland X (2017-2021) offers excellent value as a used SUV, thanks to its shared platform with the Peugeot 3008 and initial depreciation. It provides a spacious, practical, and well-equipped package, making it a sensible choice for families or budget-conscious buyers. While it might not stand out for styling or dynamic driving compared to rivals like the Skoda Karoq or Seat Ateca, its affordability and solid fundamentals make it a strong contender in the crowded used SUV market.
