CAR magazine drives the Vauxhall Grandland Hybrid in Germany and in the UK. There's a lot to like, but the ride comfort and performance can't be included in that list...
Pick a Vauxhall Grandland Hybrid, and you’ll be buying the least electrified version of this all-new SUV. Like other Stellantis ‘hybrids’, it’s actually a mild rather than full system that unusually allows a bit of electric-only running. Power won’t set the world alight, as shown by a 10.2-second 0-62mph time. That’s well behind most of the. However, where that car chases style, the Grandland is the more practical option that’s also a bit cheaper to boot.
Even on the smallest 19-inch wheels you find it picking up on every little road imperfection, with more sudden holes and humps causing the Grandland to thud and crash. The upshot is pleasingly tidy handling, although numb steering and sluggish acceleration prevents you having too much fun. Legroom is more than adequate if not exceptional, with a couple of inches between his knees and the backs of the front seats. Headroom is better even with a panoramic roof fitted, although a bit more space under the front chairs for feet to go would be welcome.
Thankfully, Vauxhall hasn’t fallen into the trap of shifting all the Grandland’s switchgear onto the touchscreen. Like the Astra, it retains a row of physical climate controls on the centre console. Plus, if you find all the data from the two screens rather overwhelming, Vauxhall has added a ‘Pure’ mode that pares back the info to just the essentials. How very Saab.There are three models to choose from – Design, GS and Ultimate.
