Completely disagree, looks better than the 3008 or whatever the stupid Citroen one is, it’s not got a French badge which makes it better anyway and it’s just nicer than the othera and looks far more upmarket than it really is.

The “ugly” wasn’t actually in relation to its look. As mentioned in the video, it looks nice in this version. It’s the quality which is really bad.

It's old fashioned looking and completely outdated inside and out.

@@MDrivesThank you for this excellent review I’m currently looking for a small suv as I’m 6’5 with back problems so the height is better for me. You have helped me to back away from this older gen 1 Grandland but have you tested the newer Grandland x ultimate?? I’ve been looking at getting a slightly older Lexus NX as they have exceptional build quality but lack acceleration and appleplay etc. so this led me to the 2021 Grandland X purely because of size, acceleration (5.9 secs 0-60) 45 mpg and appleplay and of course PRICE! HOWEVER I have heard some complaints about the infotainment system lagging, cheap interior but not much about the engine and drive experience so I would love to hear your thoughts on that model! NEW SUB and Thanks again!✌️

Had no problems with my grandland. Had it six years now. The wet belt was changed free of charge by Vauxhall. Great little car. Just done 40000 mile in it. Cheap to insure, just over £200 with Aviva. Got no complaints

Maybe you looked after yours better. The one I had chance to test wasn’t great. I drove version II and it was really good.

You've had no problems with it but it's had a cambelt at less than 40000 miles which highlights just how crap this 1.2 engine is. Imagine the problems for used buyers as these cars filter down into the older used car market, there are used car dealers that sell older cars and they refuse to take older cars in px with this rubbish PSA 1.2 engine, similar problems with the ford eco boost wet belt engine

I dont care. The car has depreciated, so what. All I'm saying is that it's done me no harm. You won't be driving much soon if labour has their way. What do you drive that's so much better 😂

I disagree, I love my grandland, ok it's not as good as its kia competitor and would have been nice to have just a bit more bhp, but it drive as smooth as silk and at 5 years old hasn't failed an MOT yet. It's a bit daft I have to pop my bonnet to change the window wipers, and the ride when sitting in the back could be smoother. But it's a decent car.

@MDrives 10 ай бұрын

Well, the engine was probably the best part of the car. To me it was the cabin built quality which was the biggest disappointment. I’ve been in cars with 200k miles+ which held better.

@drewmillard402 11 ай бұрын

I think you are being very over critical. I agree on the plastic and gear box though 😅

@MDrives 11 ай бұрын

I know this wasn’t a new car but I think many cars with the same mileage/ same age holding soo much better.

@gilbertsierra3140 Ай бұрын

This guy sounds like he has a personal vendetta against Vauxhall. I just went over 50,000 miles and my Grandland is still running like I bought in yesterday. I also had several passengers tell me how nice the interior was and how comfortable they felt.

@MDrives Ай бұрын

Absolutely not. We had a corsa for a few years and apart from firm seats I thought it was a fun car to drive. Maybe try example I had was in particularly worn condition but at that mileage, it didn’t last well.

Driving this after my Vectra SRI 1.8 it feels like riding a snowflake. 😅 Everything feels light, no resistance on the wheel and gear changing. It looks nice, but there should be a new category of cars next to SUV. I can't imagine splashing into a muddy paddle with this like with the L200.

I don’t think it was a good product. I actually had an opportunity to drive the newest one for 2 days and it was a completely different car.
