I have the previous Grandland and to be honest I can’t fault it, some people may say it looks bland inside but whenever I give a lift to anyone they always comment on how it looks a feels, I never really understand this driving experience thing that we have got ours selfs into, this car isn’t trying to be a more expensive powerful car but instead its focus on the key factor that we should all think about when buying a new car and that’s comfortable, reliable economical and above all safety they are the most important things to me if you expect a Mercedes then don’t buy a Vauxhall it’s as simply as that, but for the most of us it’s a pretty good car although it maybe be in the same as overs cars it does it’s job, which some over priced cars don’t.

Got a 2019 Grandland X the one before this makeover and I love it, comfortable, safe and surprisingly spritely on a motorway. No issue overtaking. Also I’ve never had anybody that has got in it say its boring.

Most SUV's arent' engaging or exciting to he honest - they lug kids around and make shopping trips mainly. Believe me too, £31k for a top spec car is damn good these days, and this new Grandland doesn't disappoint in looks and kit. The Sportage is a *lot* more expensive. The new Grandland looks great, and will sell by the bucket load to the average person who doesn't see the need in spending thousands more for a badge or to be part of the 'in crowd'. Well done VX - cars for the common people.

A direct comparison with 3008 would interest folk. I’m going from a 3008 to an Ultimate spec, both diesel as Peugeot have dropped the power boot, seat heating, massage seats. Not end of the world stuff but, if like me you have quite severe arthritis these are game changers. Plus, 3008 never had a heated steering wheel or heated screen and still don’t or, the 19 inch wheels. Yes the dash isn’t as nice but it has the 240 v power outlet in the rear, great for hot/cool boxes as they work better than on 12 volts. Oh, and the 3008 doesn’t have the AGR seats or Alcantara seats either. So the bottom line is, Grandland is a 3008 as mechanically it’s identical including the eat 8 gearbox which is fabulous, but it has all the toys Peugeot no longer provide.

It’s a PSA made Vauxhall. The engine is the same on Pug 3008 it will have Peugeot bits on it. The wheels look like the ones Citroen make. Those of us with bad backs love comfortable hard seats, can’t see the issue. I have a hybrid and can only get 22 miles out of it.

Agreed, i dont think a brand new Vauxhall is very competitive at all but imo vauxhall knocks it out of the park when it comes to used car pricing. Strongly advise anyone looking for a used car to consider Vauxhall, youll save £1000s compared to its competitors. I did exactly that and dont regret it at all. In fact, at a lower price point youll be more inclined to forgive any little glitches.

We are currently looking at the Grandland and Crossland due tot he headroom space for my disabled farther. Yes there are other vehicles that can cover the headroom as mentioned in this video. Bur some offer restrictive space for rear passengers . This is important for my mother who also has aging disabilities. So far this vehicle is impressive. Admittedly having had a Meriva in the past the gear box is clunky. But the value for money is good. I will be going on a test drive for both the Grandland and Crosland tomorrow. We were going for a Seat Ateca but the customer service at my local showroom has been awful. If the test drive is good. we will be going for Vauxhall.

A great review Rebecca. This car sounds like a jack of all trades but are there better Jack's of all trades in this class? I'll probably keep my current car a while longer for now until I test some of the options that ideally have an option for four wheel drive. The Karoq is tempting, although not a totally new car it looks like it should fit my needs.

I own one of these and the gear box is the worst bit. Very flabby and feels very ‘French’. the gear box whine really is something from an 80s car. 4th gear sounds like I’m trying to compete in rally GB. The best bits are the seats which suit me very well and the head lights. If you get one, or any vauxhall, make sure it has the IntelliLux Pixel Matrix LED® headlights. A game changer when driving at night. Makes it seem like the day time and almost magical how it works

We just had the Opel version with the 1.5L diesel of this for 2 days. It is terrible. Acceleration is non-existent, steering is to sensitive and it is prone to following ruts in the road/road crown. Comfort is marginal and the electronics are just a little off (especially the automatic wipers).
