Great review as always. I am interested in this car as an alternative to my first pick CRV. Like you said, you don't see many of either around. I like that exclusivity!
@@theodoratsourli4862 Hi, I am a proud owner of the Opel, Grandland X since 24th January 2020. It has been great drive. It will take some time to get use to the various gadgets in the SUV. The various systems in the car are useful and I sugest that you use avail yourself to them like lane assist etc. It is a safe car to drive with plenty of room. I would like to conclude by saying that, driving an Opel Brand creates an exclusive club among us because there are not many who own and drive Opel brand of car. Good luck.
HI@theredmen1093 I'm thinking about getting the Grandland, since the engine is Peugeot have you got any idea if it's a good engine or does it have issues I should be aware of? Thanks in advance
The glove box is useless because it's basically a 3008, so it's built in France and Peugeot don't reposition the fuse box to accommodate right hand drive countries
To get the boot kick to work there is a nice trick, you crawl under the car from the back and you emerge between the two front wheels, then it will work
LOVE this car. Opel should've added seat massagers; the perfume feature & ambient lighting from the Peugeot 3008 & the 147kw 1.6L engine from the Astra but that'll be in the Hybrid 4. Besides that its a great crossover
Good review, feel your pain on the kick function. Had a Holden Claias (insignia) on hire in Australia. It had it too. Figured it out eventually, it shined a Holden logo on the ground, flick your foot over it and it worked every time. I miss that V6 ☹️
I own one of these, on the whole I like it, just one or two things (that do not impact on the running of the car) don’t work. 1. Stop start NEVER works 2. Automatic full bean headlights. I can drive nearly all the way to work and when it comes to an unlit lane the Auto system has gone off. 3.The heated steering shell has pealed. 4. Low voltage on off side indicator,when you indicate to turn right, the sat nav sends you to the nearest garage. Not covered by warranty 🙄.
Nobby. Hi. PR Executive here. You have good things to say with an engaging manner. It’s a shame you lose credibility because of the way you dress when reviewing. You’re a good guy who could go places so please don’t allow this particular attention to a detail hold you back. Wishing you the very best.
Question: have you activated the 'kick' function ? ;) Either from the menu either from the button on the hatch (minute 15'36"). Had my Grandland X from 13 months already and the 'kick' ALWAYS worked from the first swing of the leg.
I've found out since that you need the key in your pocket, if it's in the car it won't work (stops some randomer being able to open your boot with their foot when you're in the car)!
Nobby On Cars if the battery power is low it will conserve energy and not activate the kick function. Make sure you start the engine for a while before making the video. 😅

You’d have to define better. They will both do the same job in terms of space etc but there’s more luxurious touches in the Mazda (in GT spec anyway). I’d say the boot in the Mazda is bigger too but there’s a bit more rear leg room in the Opel.
Well cut to the chase stop talking nonsense because you are wasting our time, people are only saying great review because they are too shy to be rude but if nobody is going to tell you, you will just keep on continuing wasting our time so please just cut to the chase.
what a load of crap, I've had mine (2019 SRI Nav model) for over a year with no issues at all, whereas my brother who owns a Quashqai had to take his in for repair 3x in the first year (2017 model)!!!
Nobody knows or gives a toss about Vauxhall except the English with their silly ads stating how "British since 1903" the marque is. In Ireland the Opel ads have the tagline "wir leben autos" accentuating the German-ness of the products. You Brits are some idiots if you think the Vauxhall brand is even remotely British.

This is actually fun, I like this style of car reviews.
You definitely make my day. I am looking for hire car and stuggling with how it fit to my luggage. Many thanks . Very good review /inf VDO
The commitment to trying to open the boot is brilliant! LOL
Excellent review. I'm test driving on Wednesday.
You open the trunk by passing the foot under the bumper from right to left, non kicking it. 👍

Great Review. I have ordered mine. Waiting for delivery. Did a test drive last week with the Opel Agents.
Hello! We couldn’t do the test drive there was no availability! Can u share your driving experience? Thank u so much in advance 😊

@@anandkumartoofanibeldar8237 how has the reliability been?
@@RhythmAndRibs Very good and still driving the same car. Has not failed me. 🤗

I like the design of this crossover its a little bit more understated and has nice lines ...
The glove box is useless because it's basically a 3008, so it's built in France and Peugeot don't reposition the fuse box to accommodate right hand drive countries
I ripped it off in one video (that didn't make the cut) and discovered what it was all about then!
@@NobbyOnCars expect all future opels to have tiny glove boxes 😒
To get the boot kick to work there is a nice trick, you crawl under the car from the back and you emerge between the two front wheels, then it will work
I also did an review of the Opel Grandland X, I liked it a lot! It looked better than the Peugeot 3008
nice work!
@@NobbyOnCars thank you!

I love that Opel/Vauxhall stick to the real 6 speed automatic, I can't stand the CVT in Nissan
For the kick sensor: you have to just do it once and then you have to get a step back, it will work then
You need the key in your pocket, I had left it in the car (and found out the hard way)!
@@NobbyOnCars I thought it might have been the shoe you were wearing the material of it lol
U want to try a 1.2 petrol bloody quick frugal for size of car .

Ah, V6 engines.
Have mine for 1 year. Diesel 1.6 Cdti with 120 hp, not bad car but I can´t pass over squeaking door plastic, terrible.
15:12, in Irland you drive either on the left side or the right side, it's up to you.
😂
Another informative review great workout with the boot you must be 3kg lighter
its cheaper than 3008 and better i realize from all the reviews ...
it's basically a peugeot though.
I own one of these, on the whole I like it, just one or two things (that do not impact on the running of the car) don’t work.
1. Stop start NEVER works
2. Automatic full bean headlights. I can drive nearly all the way to work and when it comes to an unlit lane the Auto system has gone off.

I was looking at these but i think its just a tad too big in size for wat im looking for. I have a Mokka and wanting sumthing the same size as that
great content but i think u needed to activate the kick button before u can actually kick to open the boot
Key needs to be in your pocket I've since found out.
The big black thing lol.... isn't the touch screen 8 inches ? A 2.0L 180kW petrol engine with an 8-speed dual clutch auto would've been great
The 2.0 litre in the Commodore is 192kw or 257 bhp is stonking . I own one , it’s a rocket.

Not sure the audience cares about that kind of stuff (or the brands for that matter) but thanks for watching 😂
@@NobbyOnCars I was at the dealership almost about to buy the Grandland X, until I saw this review and your grey top. What a shame.
@@cored429 cool story bro
Anyone remember that scruffy guy from 90's Top Gear? Jeremy something, I think.
Has anyone tried to get 3 kids seat in the back

@@NobbyOnCars indeed, this is another cause. Good job, good review, keep the good work !
Maybr you need the key in your pocket to open boot
It worked for me during the week, just not on camera!?
@@NobbyOnCars, must be a dodgy one
Nobby On Cars if the battery power is low it will conserve energy and not activate the kick function. Make sure you start the engine for a while before making the video. 😅
@@NobbyOnCars you have to swipe it smooth and slow. not fast kicks :)
Jan Sicherl Opel have told me the key needs to be in your pocket for security reasons!
Is it expensive to run than the insignia
Ok Nobby, just for that boot dance you get my sub....
How Mach for this car
if the battery power is low it will conserve energy and not activate the kick function. Make sure you start the engine for a while before making the video. 😅
The key needs to be in your pocket I’ve since found out!
Hi mate what’s the room like with three adults in the back. Cheers
Similar width to all the usual comparisons but the near flat floor is a bonus over the others and will help with the middle adult and their feet.
Nobby On Cars thanks mate 👍
Is this vehicle better than the Mazda CX-5? what is your opinion?
You’d have to define better. They will both do the same job in terms of space etc but there’s more luxurious touches in the Mazda (in GT spec anyway). I’d say the boot in the Mazda is bigger too but there’s a bit more rear leg room in the Opel.
@@NobbyOnCars Thank you very much for your comment…
Hand berry brake!
Door mirrors actually mate, wing mirrors went out in the 60s
Wasn’t around then sorry
@@NobbyOnCarsYour doubledecker was!
Good detailed review 👍 pity about the kick test!!
I've since learnt... key in pocket :)
It's not kick it's swipe for the boot
So in Ireland you get the Opel or both Opel and Vauxhall?
Just Opel.
The Vauxhall has better options for the same price but in Ireland we get the Opel brand exact same car but less extras for the price ..
could i plug me kettle into the back plug socket lol.. be handy to make a cuppa on long trips
Of course :)
What kettle can u plug into a car, what have I missed 😱🤔
Wasted 3 minutes of my life watching the dude trying to get the boot opened.
yep, its annoying...and when he was driving, the camera is focused on his face instead of the road...
Is that the full options model?
Yes it's fairly specced up!
I found the seats in these brick hard
Click in the “Top right” you mean 😂😂
whoops!
Opel not oppo
I think you must sweep the leg from left to right. LOL!
I've since discovered the key needs to be in your pocket!
You move your foot right to left like a wave under boot rather than just kicking I thinking 🤔 oh I see u need key in your pocket or outside car 😂🙈😩
Took me a while….!
O frat ro cazz!! Ma che stai giocand a' pallone?
Is it not unsafe to rub the door to open it? What if an hijacker does the same
The key has to be on your person so someone can’t open it without the key. It’s why I ran into difficulties trying to open the boot ☺️
You spend too much time talking.
Do I yeah?
yes you did! might as well cut the crap (that is speaking about the obvious and some nonsense)
jose jose the views on the video say different. 👋🏻
@@NobbyOnCars I don't care what the other comments say.
Well cut to the chase stop talking nonsense because you are wasting our time, people are only saying great review because they are too shy to be rude but if nobody is going to tell you, you will just keep on continuing wasting our time so please just cut to the chase.
Silly car name
With the very greatest of respect, if you intend to introduce some humour into a review such as this, PLEASE make sure it's funny 🤔
Nearly 50,000 views, first complaint! ;)
You can't please everyone
ha!
Nobby On Cars nice review mate and unlike Paul I liked your humour! 👍
Like the car, but the wheels are ugly.
Worse car reviewer ever 🤦♀️
Many thanks for that 👍🏻
Just buy a Peugeot 3008
Opel are german car
Terrible review of an amazing automobile.
🤫
Savage! Pay no heed nobby son
it is garbage vs Quashqai !! if you want most of time be in repairs buy grandland or peugeout
what a load of crap, I've had mine (2019 SRI Nav model) for over a year with no issues at all, whereas my brother who owns a Quashqai had to take his in for repair 3x in the first year (2017 model)!!!
@@darrenchapman2786 give to him your grandland x and you will see how long it would take then for him for first repair
Just a boring Vauxhall , another clone of road like most nowadays .
Yeah. Like boring to death golf=octavia=leon. Karoq=Arona=T-roc Kodiaq=Tiguan=Tarraco. Bleahh..globalization
Opel.
I personally love it

Could you review the Peugeot 308 SW
I love your videos and sense of humour.
Nobby any chance when ur doing a review on a crossover or a Jeep that u cud put 2 isofix babyseats and a booster in the back and review the space. TIA
Good idea. Sometimes I bring one seat but I'll try bring a few.
@@NobbyOnCars I can give u the 3 kids if you want to experience the full effect 🙊
two of my own are more than enough thanks :) !!!
