Vauxhall Grandland X (2017-2021) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very 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 a spacious and well-equipped mid-size SUV that shares its platform with the Peugeot 3008. It offers a practical interior with a 514-litre boot (1,652 litres with rear seats folded), a completely flat rear floor, and generous headroom and legroom. The cabin features quality materials and an intuitive touchscreen system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, even on base models. Whilst the exterior styling is conservative and conventional, the car delivers a composed and comfortable driving experience with good body control and decent ride quality.

The engine range includes a 1.2-litre petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel, and petrol-electric hybrid options. The 1.2 petrol achieves 42.8-45.6mpg officially, whilst the diesel delivers 53.3-54.3mpg. Hybrid models claim exceptional economy figures, though real-world returns are considerably lower. Service intervals are long, with fixed-price servicing starting from £205. Heavy initial depreciation makes the Grandland X an attractive used buy, though it struggles to differentiate itself from rivals in any particular area. The car was renamed and redesigned in 2021 to become the Vauxhall Grandland.

Best for: Buyers seeking a spacious, well-equipped SUV with low running costs, those prioritising practicality and comfort, and budget-conscious used car shoppers.

Not ideal for: Those wanting distinctive styling, engaging driving dynamics, or a car that excels in a specific area, or buyers concerned about reliability records.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Grandland X if: You prioritise practicality and equipment, seek a spacious and comfortable SUV, or want a well-equipped used car at a competitive price.

Consider alternatives if: You value distinctive styling, engaging driving dynamics, or a car that excels in a specific area, or have concerns about reliability.

Competitive Position: The Vauxhall Grandland X (2017-2021) occupies a middle ground in the mid-size SUV market. Whilst it offers excellent equipment levels and practicality, it lacks the standout appeal of rivals. The Skoda Karoq is more accomplished overall, the Seat Ateca delivers superior driving dynamics, and the Nissan Qashqai is a better all-rounder. However, heavy depreciation makes the Grandland X an attractive used purchase for budget-conscious buyers seeking space and comfort without premium pricing. Its shared platform with the Peugeot 3008 provides proven engineering, though reliability concerns persist.
