Like the new Mokka, the new Grandland is a great looking, well spec'd, good value small SUV with a surprising amount of room. All car prices have increased over the last 18 months or so, but Vauxhall seems to be trying their best to keep their prices reasonable. Today's Vauxhall make cars for the average person, and based on this, the Mokka, and the new Astra, they're doing a damn good job. Great review.
Ive had 2 Grandlands now, an SE and now an Elite Nav. As far as im concerned they're great cars. Roomy, well built, good performance, good fuel economy, plenty of kit (especially the Elite Nav). I'm planning on getting a 3rd, probably a hybrid.
Absolutely, we love ours too. Very comfortable and the 8 speed automatic 1.5 diesel is brilliant. I think Grandland is very underrated SUV due to Qashqai pretty much ruled the segment.
Do you guys face any wet belt issues? I recently got 2020 grandland x and after a week it shows top up engine oil and people told it can be a wet belt issues. Took to showroom and they said oil was less not wet belt issues Thank god. How often we have to care this wet belt? Any idea? Any advice please
I have a Mokka ultimate nav and want to swap it for a grandland as I have a new baby and the car seat just about fits in the back with the front passenger sat very uncomfortable. Is the grandland roomier in the back than the Mokka?
Once again a very professional review Tish, well done! I like the new look of the car and it seems very well equipped for the money. Engine choice as you say may be limited for some but as I tend to drive in traffic quite a lot it wouldn't bother me too much but a test drive would reveal and concerns.
On back of your review I went ahead and ordered the ultimate in blue for my next mobility car. I weighed up the competition and this Grandland is value for money. Lowest deposit and it out specs it's rivals.
I did the same I ordered mine in red as at the time he didn't have the blue to show me I'm glad I picked the red looks very nice, but the cobolt blue I think I would have picked if I had seen it. Mine was soposed to be delivered last October but I'm getting mine this month due to manufacturing delays that the industry is seeing on the chips used in the cars
@Nova yeah i saw the red one in the showroom, and test drove the blue one. I ordered mine on April 22. I got an email last week informing me that the car will be ready near the end of July 23. Apparently, the delay is down to the Ukraine war. There is a certain type of cables and wires manufactured there. Anyway, I was worried the car would be out of date if I had to wait any longer, but it's impacted all car manufacturers. Did you get some more money off from mobility? They gave me £750 and I used it for the deposit, which is down to £995 now.
Brilliant review, I have just ordered the ultimate in the cobolt blue, i like the car a lot im coming from a 3008 which has tested me i can tell you, so when it finally gets here we will see they say i could be waiting until october!!!
Super informative Tish, another great review. I do love that blue and its a shame that there is no mamba green. Some family SUV's I've driven have actually coped well in the bends with little body roll, shame this is a little wollowy.
I pick mine up at the end of the month I've gone for the ultimate it comes with heated seats and a censor at the back of the car were if your hands are full you can wave your foot under the car to close,
Cornering and handling is subjective of course, but I am always amazed at how Vauxhall/Opel get hammered for this while VW and others are always fantastic - Well, numbers don't lie if you look at the 2018 Grandland moose test for example, the Opel is equaled only by the Q5 and Peugeot 3008 ...There is nothing wrong or un-fun about the grandland's handling capability: ua-cam.com/video/leDJSuHXJTY/v-deo.html
I don't really like the way they integrated the new "visor" design grill, because you can clearly see, those headlights were not made for that. The look kinda misplaced.
@@AutoSocialUK I’m not too fussed about the power, but I think AWD is needed in crossovers and SUVs. I think a taller and more expensive hatchback without AWD is just worthless.
Great review. I looked at one of these but went for a plug in MG HS, £35k for a bigger car and equal spec to the top end Vauxhall and 7 years warranty. Fab review
@@AutoSocialUK A long time ago, but friends also have had trouble. I watch and love all your reviews whatever the car is you are reviewing. Keep up the excellent work.
Forty grand for that?! Hey, don't get me wrong. I learned to drive in an Astra and have a soft spot for Vauxhall, but for what this is, it's really rather too much. Or maybe it's my perception of Vauxhall as a brand that's making me biased against it. Would much rather go for an Audi Q2 or a Lexus SUV (I can't remember their lineup, is it an NX that competes with this)? They are two very different crossovers, one sporty and the other comfortable, but unless I'm very much mistaken I can't help feeling the Q2 and NX offer so much more character.
I got given a Vauxhall Mokka as a loan car when my Insignia b 2.0 170 bhp was in the garage the mokka is a horrible car a three cylinder petrol engine sounded like it was going to blow up I couldn’t get a comfortable driving position I was so glad I got my car back I have not driven the grand land but the mokka is a horrible car 🤮🤮🤮

@@jaystravelshots4625I've never heard of such issue, timing belt should be free from oil or any fluid.
@ridehead8771 well 1.2 turbo model have wet belt. Belt in oil

great v/blog tish ive always bought vauxhalls glad see your new review plus love your trousers

Exactly, my mum has a 110bhp T-roc and she’s loves it - more than enough for her!

I am so pleased to hear - I hope you love it!
Do you love it? I am wavering on buying one, its always good to hear about real peoples experiences.
@@Batters2000 still waiting for delivery. Its due in November

Thanks Tish - I am in the process of ordering the GS Petrol version Auto in Colbalt Blue = lovely car and a great SUV for the family.
Brilliant review, I have just ordered the ultimate in the cobolt blue, i like the car a lot im coming from a 3008 which has tested me i can tell you, so when it finally gets here we will see they say i could be waiting until october!!!
Great video as always, Tish! Very informative and professional. Always fun to learn about cars that aren’t sold here in the US!
Any idea when you'll be reviewing the new Astra? Great review as usual
Hopefully within the next couple of months, I’m not sure the launch is planned yet.
A very good presentation. Bravo Madam.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. I particularly like the New Front Fascia
Yes, it’s made it look much smarter
Still not good enough, Vauxhall! But I liked the color.
Thanks Tish for the nice-as-always review.
Cute HS🤩 by the way 😉
Thank you very much

Simple, clever, stylish rewiev. Thanks
Will let you know
I am picking my one up tomorrow after a 16 month wait
My favourite Trim Is GS Line. Looks more stylish now

The new Grandland basically is a 3008. Just cheaper and with all the kit Peugeot have removed.
It's a great car I think the all new one looks even better 😅
Due a new motabilty car in December and this is what I think I’m going to opt for this time round in the ultimate spec
Great choice 👌🏼
10 months been waiting picking up friday got the ultimate red x
@@EmmaEmma-hu4ilhow is it?
We’ve just ordered a 2023 one for motability
Vauxhall have done a good job
Yes well done trish
Great review Tish love çolour
like all the new Vauxhalls.
Can you do a review of the
VW E UP they are making it
again thanks.
Good review, nice car but engines are way too small for my liking.
Big enough for most the target audience I think 🤔
Fantastic review
Thank you for the great review
Great review Tish. Not sure about the engine, would prefer a 1.5 (I live in the Chiltern hills)
Great review Tish x
Thank you!
Great review and reminds me to stay away from SUVs and stick with normal cars that drive far better and are far cheaper 👍
Yes, I’m looking forward to trying the new Astra and 308
@@AutoSocialUK 👍 both seem good.
I don't really like the way they integrated the new "visor" design grill, because you can clearly see, those headlights were not made for that. The look kinda misplaced.
Hello from brazil!! Good video!!
5th, looked 3rd to me lol, waiting for my manual, petrol ultimate grandland to be made
I’m sad that Vauxhall has axed the all wheel drive model, but Opel in Continental Europe and Ireland is selling the AWD PHEV version.
I don’t think that power and AWD in a grandland was necessary.
@@AutoSocialUK I’m not too fussed about the power, but I think AWD is needed in crossovers and SUVs.
I think a taller and more expensive hatchback without AWD is just worthless.
They need to put in a cd player in the GS line.
Good review
Great review. I looked at one of these but went for a plug in MG HS, £35k for a bigger car and equal spec to the top end Vauxhall and 7 years warranty. Fab review
Not a fan of Vauxhall, especially their customer service. Would take a lot for me to buy one. Great review as always.
That’s a shame. Have you had a bad experience
@@AutoSocialUK A long time ago, but friends also have had trouble. I watch and love all your reviews whatever the car is you are reviewing. Keep up the excellent work.
Ive had vauxhall all my life but the grandland cured me! Nothing but trouble customer service absolute shit!
@@garybate4523trouble how? 😢
got that car through mobility for 3 years just traded in the 2019 Honda Civic
Can you not take subtitles off cant see things properly blocks out loads coz of the black coulour
Sorry, I don't think I add them in, it's done automatically by UA-cam
Problem is, the 3 sylinder petrol engines wont last past 100.000 km before total rebuild. Is that good for the environment?
still waiting to see the new astra.. i dont think even dealers have them in yet
No the dealers won’t have them just yet. I think the launch will be soon.
@@AutoSocialUK
thats not really good tho. same as the 308
they should be in the dealers march 1st on the 22 plates
You can tell the peugeot influence, Bit surprised with vauxhall doing well in the top 10 sales charts so many dealers have shut down.
Yes it is surprising but there was SO many dealers before. Like double the amount of Volkswagens
The old one was just as good

Had a 1200 turbo one, 18 reg ,,engine blew its timing belt at 40,000 miles give these a wide birth and save your sanity!!!
Same here… tread with caution with these engines. Either carefully maintain or pay the ultimate price.
It's just a 3008 rebadged, but there again the 3008 is a qashqai
This is a run out GM product, not PSA or Stellantis
What is the difference between ultimate to elite
Quite a bit; intellilux headlights, park assist, 360 camera (apposed to 180)
are you saying that the new grandland is a load of rubbish because I was going to buy one
Definitely not? I thought it was really good, did I give that impression? 😂
Im Tish
Is this opel
Pretty much, yes
Hardly "all new"....updated front headlights fitted in with quirky black plastic corner's...
1.5 is sluggish,hardly any torque and juicy. Add to that the many problems with reliability. Avoid.

Electric 👎👎👎
This isn’t electric
It's done 1337 miles. Fucking nice.
