Why Buy a Used Vauxhall Grandland?

Worth a quick note on the Vauxhall Grandland review above: it covers the new second-generation 2026 Grandland in its fully electric form, so the styling, cabin tech and powertrain reflect the current car rather than earlier used examples, but it gives you a reliable guide to the space, refinement and features you can expect from a late used Grandland.

Is the Used Vauxhall Grandland a Good Buy?

Yes, especially for buyers who want modern electrified power at used money. The 1.2 (136PS) Hybrid pairs a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic and a 28hp electric motor built into the gearbox, drawing on a 48-volt battery to drive on electric power for short distances in town, assist the petrol engine under acceleration, and recharge during deceleration. It returns up to 51.4mpg WLTP combined and 124g/km CO2.

The Grandland Electric uses a 73kWh battery and a 213PS electric motor, delivering 0-62mph in 9 seconds, a top speed of 106mph and up to 323 miles of WLTP range with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. It supports DC rapid charging at up to 100kW (20 to 100 per cent in 30 minutes), 11kW three-phase AC on a public wallbox and 7kW AC at home. A heat pump is standard, which improves range in colder weather.

Every used Grandland sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record, plus a battery-system check on hybrid and electric models.

Who Is the Used Vauxhall Grandland Best For?

The Grandland's breadth suits several kinds of buyer. The table below pairs four of them with the version that fits best.

What Is It Like to Own a Vauxhall Grandland?

The current Grandland is defined by how modern it feels for mainstream money. Even entry Design cars get the 10-inch colour touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 10-inch digital driver display, dual-zone electronic climate control with Quick Launch, Intelli-LED headlights and 19-inch alloy wheels as standard. Stepping up to GS brings the much larger 16-inch touchscreen with connected navigation, Intelli-Lux HD matrix headlights, a wireless charger, heated front seats and heated steering wheel, while Ultimate adds the Intelli-HUD extended head-up display, Focal Hi-Fi with 10 speakers and subwoofer, 360 degrees panoramic Intelli-Vision camera, power tailgate and heated windscreen.

Practicality is strong. Both hybrid and electric Grandlands offer 550 litres of boot space with the rear seats up, growing to 1,645 litres with them folded. The Electric is 4,650mm long (same as the hybrid) and uses the same 2,784-2,794mm wheelbase, giving a planted stance and decent rear legroom. Pixel Box storage with edge-lit lighting in the centre console on GS and above adds a smart, modern touch.

On the road the Grandland benefits from Vauxhall PureSense driver aids, including adaptive cruise with Stop & Go, lane keep assist, extended traffic sign recognition and automatic emergency braking as standard across the range. GS and Ultimate add Intelli-Drive 2.0 for semi-automated lane changes and rear cross-traffic alert. Running costs reflect the car's position: Vauxhall's wide dealer network keeps servicing affordable, and the Electric qualifies for low Vehicle Excise Duty. Every Grandland at Vertu is inspected and prepared before sale, including a battery-system check on hybrid and electric models.

Vauxhall Grandland Trims and Specifications

The current Grandland is offered in three trim levels, Design, GS and Ultimate, with equipment stepping up at each level. The ladder is the same across the hybrid and electric powertrains, so the trim decision is independent of the powertrain decision. The table below sets out how equipment builds across the range.

These details reflect the MY2025A specification (10 April 2025 price and spec guide). The Grandland has been sold across two generations, so used examples from the first-generation Grandland X (2017-2021) and the facelifted first-generation Grandland (2021-2024) carry different trim names, including SE, Design Line, Sport Nav, Business Edition Nav, Elite Nav, Ultimate and GSE, with different equipment, so confirm the specification of any specific car with your local dealership.

*Equipment shown reflects the MY2025A Vauxhall UK Grandland specification (10 April 2025) and is typical rather than guaranteed on any specific car. Availability varies by model year, trim, powertrain and options fitted when new, and first-generation Grandland and Grandland X cars (2017-2024) differ substantially in trim naming and equipment.

Vauxhall Grandland Engines, Battery and Performance

The current Grandland is offered as a 1.2-litre mild-hybrid petrol or a fully electric 213PS version, both with automatic transmission. The table below summarises the two powertrains from the MY2025A price and spec guide.

The 1.2 Hybrid is self-charging through its 48-volt mild-hybrid system, so there is nothing to plug in. The Grandland Electric uses a 73kWh battery and comes standard with a heat pump and an 11kW three-phase onboard charger. Earlier used Grandland and Grandland X cars (2017-2024) widen the choice considerably, with 1.2 and 1.6-litre petrols, 1.5 and 2.0-litre diesels, the 1.6-litre Hybrid4 plug-in and the facelift-era 1.6 Hybrid plug-in with around 39 miles of electric range.

*Figures are drawn from Vauxhall's 10 April 2025 Grandland MY2025A price and specification guide. The 1.2 Hybrid is a self-charging mild hybrid and never needs plugging in. Electric Grandland range depends on wheel size, climate and driving style; the Electric is covered by Vauxhall's 8-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty guaranteeing at least 70 per cent capacity. Actual real-world economy, range and performance vary with weather, driving style, load and conditions. First-generation Grandland and Grandland X cars (2017-2024) will differ.

Vauxhall Grandland Dimensions

*Dimensions reflect the current second-generation Grandland from Vauxhall's 10 April 2025 price and spec guide. First-generation Grandland X and facelift Grandland (2017-2024) cars are smaller and have different capacities. Confirm figures for a specific car with your local dealership.
