August 14, 2024 by Jamie Edkins
Car changing is a big deal
This is the all-new Vauxhall Grandland, and it’s a radical departure from the slightly dated SUV you know today.
- New Vauxhall Grandland revealed
- Family SUV goes all-electric for the first time
- Hybrid option also available
- All-new interior technology
- Up to 435 miles of range
- Available to order now, priced from £34,700 for a hybrid
You’re seeing correctly – this rather stylish customer is the new Vauxhall Grandland, and ‘stylish’ is definitely not a word we’ve have used to describe its predecessor.
This popular Nissan Qashqai alternative gets a totally new look on the outside but it’s also all change under the skin too, and will be available as a hybrid, a plug-in hybrid and a fully electric car with impressive range.
You’ll also be able to get the new Grandland with a hybrid engine, and there’s even a plug-in hybrid to follow later.
New Vauxhall Grandland design
Today’s Vauxhall Grandland is starting to look its age, so it’s a good job that this new one has a much more modern and sleek design.
You get the latest version of Vauxhall’s ‘Vizor’ grille up front, meaning there’s a gloss black strip between the sleek LED headlights. A first for the brand is the 3D-effect daytime running lights and illuminated logo in the centre.
The new Grandland is 173mm longer than the car it replaces, which should help increase interior space. There’s also now the option of 20-inch alloy wheels, giving you an extra inch over the outgoing car.
The slim tail lights are similar to the ones found on the Astra, although that light bar with the Vauxhall branding spelled out is a new feature for the Grandland. This may share parts with the Peugeot E-3008 under the skin, however you’d never tell based on looks alone.
New Vauxhall Grandland interior and infotainment
As well as the overhauled exterior, the new Vauxhall Grandland also has a brand new cabin.
Sitting proudly in the centre of the dash is a new 16.0-inch touchscreen, which is a full 6.0-inches bigger than the display you get in the outgoing car. A digital driver’s display also comes as standard, however it’s not as neatly integrated as it is in the Peugeot E-3008.
It doesn’t have quite the same flair inside as the Peugeot either, although the design does look a whole lot more interesting than the car it replaces. It’s a clean and minimalist environment, however you do get physical switches for the climate control, something which is lacking on the E-3008.
New Vauxhall Grandland batteries and motors
It’s under the skin where you’ll find similarities to the Peugeot E-3008. The new Grandland uses that car’s 98kWh battery pack, giving it up to 435 miles of range.
That’s exactly the same as the Peugeot’s figure, and it’s almost 100 miles more than the Skoda Enyaq can manage. You can top the battery up from 10-80% in just 26 minutes from a rapid charger.
This battery pack isn’t yet available, though, and from launch there’s a 73kWh battery on offer. This gives up to 325 miles of range in entry-level Design trim, which is still fairly impressive and on par with many alternatives.
It’s paired to a 213hp electric motor driving the front wheels only.
New Vauxhall Grandland engines
Those who are still feeling sceptical about switching to an electric car may prefer the look of the plug-in hybrid Vauxhall Grandland. It’s a great gateway into electric motoring, with up to 53 miles of range for pottering around town and a petrol engine for added peace of mind on longer trips.
A 1.2-litre petrol hybrid will also be on offer. It has a 28hp electric motor paired to the engine giving a combined 136hp, and this is paired to a new six-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
When can I buy a new Vauxhall Grandland and how much will it be?
Order books are open now, and the Grandland’s priced competitively though it’s no longer a budget option.
The cheapest version is the Hybrid 136 – this costs from £34,700, rising to £38,400 for the top trim level. If you want an electric Grandland, you’ll pay £40,995 for the entry-level Design model with a 73kWh battery. Electric models do get a sweetener, however, offering a free home charger installation or one year’s free charging credit at Tesco stores – and you get 50,000 Clubcard points on purchase, too.
Expect the plug-in hybrid and the larger-batteried electric versions to build on these prices.
