Vauxhall Grandland , A Detailed Look at the Modern SUV.

The Vauxhall Grandland has evolved into one of the most versatile family SUVs on the market – combining practical space, modern powertrain choices, and up‑to‑date design and technology. Whether you’re drawn to the electric version with impressive range or the petrol/hybrid options, the Grandland offers something for every driver.

🔌 Powertrain & Engines – Electric, Hybrid & Beyond

Vauxhall offers the Grandland with two core powertrain options:

  • 100% Electric – A fully electric SUV with up to 425 miles of range (WLTP) on a single charge, delivering a smooth, quiet drive and all‑electric performance. A 156 kW (around 213 hp) electric motor provides brisk acceleration without gear shifts.
  • Petrol Hybrid – Combines a traditional petrol engine with electric assistance for improved efficiency and reduced emissions, great for everyday driving without worrying about charging infrastructure.

Across the range, you’ll find differing outputs and drivetrain layouts (including All‑Wheel Drive on higher trims for added traction and control).

🛠 Trim Levels & Features

The Grandland is offered in a range of trims tailored to different tastes:

  • Design – A well‑balanced entry trim with modern essentials and a refined look.
  • GS – Sportier styling and added dynamic flair for a more engaging experience.
  • Ultimate / Ultimate AWD – The top‑spec trim with premium tech, comfort and available all‑wheel drive.

Trim highlights can include LED lighting, enhanced infotainment screens, advanced driver assistance systems, and premium interior materials.

📏 Dimensions & Practical Space

Perfect complementing this article is my video review, where I give a quick look inside and out the Grandland and share detailed measurements – especially of the boot and rear seats in centimetres.

The wide and square boot opening also makes loading easier than many rivals.

🪑 Rear Seat Space & Practicality

Rear passenger space is comfortable, with good headroom and legroom compared to many other SUVs in its class. The flat floor contributes to better space for three adults across the back.

💷 Average Price Guide

Prices vary depending on trim, powertrain and options, but in the UK you can expect:

  • Entry‑level petrol/hybrid trims: from mid‑£30,000s
  • Electric models: often starting in the low £40,000s, especially when configured with tech‑rich trims.

Special offers and dealer pricing can shift these figures, so always check current local pricing for accuracy.
