Grandland X Ultimate review: ua-cam.com/video/wqmoZQjUyQM/v-deo.html
I have been searching online for a quality detailed review by a UK based reviewer of this car and none have been close. The detail and presentation quality of this video is superb and exactly what I was looking for. A joy to watch as is the comparison video of the Crossland and Mokka. Thank you
Highly appreciated! Please share :)
I had the pleasure today to drive a 1.2 automatic.
Overall, I found it very nice to drive. The car seems very solid, silent and very spacious.
The controls are all were you would expect them to be, and the navigation is located in the upper part of the dashboard (as opposed to the Kadjar, for example, where you need to take your eyes off the road to look at the navigation).
The 1.2L petrol engine definitely does not make the Grandland a race car, but it is not that bad either, with good torque (we were 5 people in the car during the test drive, but no luggage).
You have plenty of options to choose from, some of them really cool (like the 360 camera which is better than the Nissan QQ, IMO), yet you are not forced into some options if you want just part of a package.
What I did not like was that there seemed to be a slight lag between when I floored it and when the acceleration started. Then there is also that glossy surface which you can leave a mark on really quick.
But again, overall, I liked the car very much.
Thx for the feedback!
Thank you Thomas for a very professional review of the Opel Grassland X we will now consider it for our new lease vehicle.
thanks Steve !!
Later on I heard about a secret tip to reach a home menu in the infotainment screen: using 3 fingers to tip on the screen. I ll try it out next time ... and who ever has a Grandland already, try it out =)

enjoy =)
Excellent review, as always. I placed my order for the Grandland X Elite nav 1.2 petrol auto yesterday. Now I have to be patient for the next 10-12 weeks while it's built!
congrats!
As usual great job Thomas!
meget tak!
I am about to buy a new car and thanks to your review I am quite sure I am going to buy this Opel model. your review helped more than other reviews! Thank you for the clear, clean and honest review!
Thanks and enjoy! :)
Nice review, best I've seen on UA-cam. As of 2019 the EGR seats are now standard on Tech-Line upwards I believe.
Cheers!
best channel, best Thomas, best blue, best outfit, best everything. Autogefuhl addict.
+loo lolo 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Would I be able to interest you in my car review channel? I think you might enjoy it along with some beautiful scenery in the Swiss mountains where I review cars. cheers
I placed order for Grandland based on yr review , great Thomas , vielen dank von Schweiz
Cool enjoy 😊
Never bought Vauxhall/Opel but I like it. This would be my preferred colour too
Nice complete review . Better than the preconceived negative uk ones . Thanks
👍
Absolutely agree! The UK reviewers have already decided that as it's a Vauxhall its crap. Unless its Audi or BMW they are generally not interested, and damn with faint praise at best. I've driven the Grandland X 1.2 recently and thought it was very good indeed.
One of the better reviews i have seen everything well explained. Due to get the 1.6 turbo in may.
Thanks!
Opel Grandland is basically a rebadged Peugeot 3008. Opel Grandland is even manufactured in Peugeot's factory in France. But at least Grandland has its own style design-wise, unlike those VW group cars who all look pretty much the same. VW's design is very unappealing. Grandland exterior looks very good, it looks less aggressive than 3008. But the interior is a big disappointment compared to 3008. 3008's interior is just so gorgeous. But on the plus side, Grandland has roomier leg room than 3008. Groupe PSA shows VW how to successfully execute different styles of SUV without making them look all the same. Good job PSA, good job Opel.
Rebadge = same car with a different badge. Vauxhalls are rebadged Opel's, a Vauxhall Mokka is same car as the Opel Mokka, just with a different badge, but the Grandland is not a rebadged Peugeot. Grandland shares plattform and drivetrain with other PSA-products (like the Peugeot 3008/5008, Citroën C4 Picasso/Grand Picasso and the coming DS7 Crossback and C5 Aircross) but these are not the same car - they differ in exterior and interior styling, seats, suspension, steering and equipment. Quite different feels, so not a rebadging of the same car. Calling Grandland a "rebadged Peugeot 3008" is a misuse of the word rebadge.
Raphael Mabo "reskin" instead of ?
Rolling roadblock to clear debris ! I love my Granland X
Again a very good test Thomas!
I like this car very much. Just in this color ;).
I noticed that the blind spot indicator sometimes does not react.
(black BMW @ 18:35 - 18:37)
+Marco Tiedemann thx! Remarks to that system from me as well
A very comprehensive review Thomas. Nice looking car inside and very stylish exterior. Amazing that the 3 cylinder engine is so nippy.
cheers!

Any idea why Opel/Vauxhall have removed the adaptive cruise control from the Grandland range i have got the 2020 elite nav 1.2 auto which i was lead to beleive had this option but it did not and when i complained i was told that the grandland x never have it in any trim ?
Love the in-depth reviews (especially driving). Keep it up guys! Hyundai i30 hatch review soon?
Thank you Henry, stick to us! At the moment we don't have the i30 scheduled but I think we can try to test drive it some day.
Thanks for the reply Autogefuhl! The reason for the i30, is because it's one of the best selling vehicles here in Australia. I understand it's an average seller over there in Germany. Keep it up!
Thomas - Once again - another great and informative review with terrific videography. Also wanted to thank you for the outstanding coverage of the 2017 IAA and the very informative interviews you had with some of the key individuals representing the car brands and the suppliers. Two Thumbs UP!!! - Joe
Hey Joe, thanks a lot for enjoying our content, we really hope that you will also stick to us in the future. Have a nice day buddy!

Great review! I also love the work that you have done to promote vegan leather in cars! You’re also very lovely to look at 😌
thanks so much! Keep supporting!
@@autogefuehl except most of the cars Thomas is promoting do not have leather inside. Now-days most of the car manufacturers are using synthetic leather that is easy taken for animal skin, but has much better nature than animal skin. Car makers do not promote it often especially not in premium class, but for example even Porsche is using synthetic leather not the animal skin.
As a side note, I dont understand the fuss around animal skin anyway, most of the first world is not vegan, and we are not holding cattle just for skin, skin is a by product of food industry, so what...
Hi Thomas, Do you use some sort of noise canceling mic? Background noise gets louder when you speak....
Hi Thomas, I'm planning to buy my first SUV car. Since I watched your first review, and I became addictive to your reviews. Comparing to others, I found you the most realistic one. After watching this review, you made not able to choose! Could you please help me? If you were me, would you go for Eclipse Cross 1.5 or this nice Opel?
Which one is better? The kadjar or the grandland?
Nice review. Very cool car.
Nice review
thanks !
it goes Great with your shirt Thomas !!
+LEE AVISON 😎
Hello, Thomas! What do you think about a review of Dacia Logan?
I'd love to
Hello Thomas! Where is Opel badge on the top of engine? Why those guys from PSA decide to leave engine without logo? Any infos about that?
+lastnight2 cost savings. Customers nowadays dont check under the hood that often
I really think a manufacturer should bring out a colour called 'Thomas Blue !! I would certainly buy that
Just checked this car in dealer, very interesting car, price/performance. I prefer it over the new Rav4.
@70 mph how much revs does it do?
Good morning Thomas. Any plans to test 1.6 or 2.0 diesels? or to compare both at the same time?
hey, not planned so far sorry

Du warst in Darmstadt 😍😍
3-cylinder on it's own is pushing the boundaries of the engine's efficiency ( and it's life in terms of service ) at that size segment I think. With the addition of the hybrid sometime 2018 would be a more ideal choice. Great look with the exterior and dash/cabin. Do hope PSA would take better care of the Opel brand than GM.
You got any proof of that? I constantly hear that three cylinders are "pushing it", but never got any concrete proof of them being unreliable or not being up to what the average user will need them for - mostly country and city roads, with occasional longer trips on highways, probably doing between 10-15.000 kilometers per year.
That is the most insane hood latch I have ever seen! Looks like it could punch a hole in your skull! 😳
Thomas, why you did not mention that the Intellilux LED Matrix headlights are not available for this car (they are available even for the much cheaper Astra).
it's because this one is shared with Peugeot and they are using the Peugeot headlamps
Another amazing review with humour! Nice thick stick! hahahahaha
=)
Thomas you should check the make-up mirrors in both sides. My old Mazda 2 didnt have one on the passenger side, not good if you want a happy wife.
Love the car. It's youthful & has great features. The Cosmo model in South Africa is a full package. Prefer it over the Mazda CX-5
Hi Thomas ive just watched your video again, and i had a laugh to myself, looking at the expression on your face when the Police were driving in front of yourself and the other vehicles slowing down the traffic.Humour is a good thing to include during your reviews, as some people take life far too serious Thomas.well done keep up the good work, and continue to entertain us with your unexpected good natured humour.😂👍
Please can you say if a car has DAB digital radio or not please ?
Yes it does.
Nice Opel Granddad.
Some reviewers complain about imprecise and requiring too much efforts/attention manual gearbox which comes with this "puretech" 3-cyl. engine.
You've briefly mentioned the gearbox in your test as having no issues, right?
It should be a little smoother indeed
Would buy the diesel simply because 4 cylinders is better than 3. Reviewers from my country also said that the feel of the gear change is much better with the diesel.
But I like the car overall.
ast5515: I have a Peugeot 3008 1.2L auto and it is a stunning engine: far better than I ever imagined. I have less than 2000 miles on mine but achieving 50.4 mpg on a combined urban/motorway journey of 200 miles. The gear changes are really good and I have no problems accelerating up to motorway speed from a slip road. It also accelerates well beyond 70 mph. The 3 cylinder engine sounds really throaty at times, much better than the 3 cylinder engine in my wife's VW Up.
Pete what is your consumption just in the city?
Martin: I live on the edge of a small city and currenty get 37 - 38.6 mpg. That is obviously in stop/start traffic and 30 mph or less over a distance of about 4 miles. I am very pleased with the fuel consumption, as my BMW 520d only returned 54 mpg on the same 200 mile urban/motorway route I use, and about the same around the city.
pete draper well although Opel Grandland is basically a rebadged Peugeot 3008, it doesn't necessarily mean that their driving dynamism or fuel consumption will be exactly identical. But thanks for the info. It will be very useful when comparing the two cars ^^
Leonard Korn. I wasn't making that assertion: I was merely providing an example of what might be possible to those who believe they need a 1.6L petrol or 1.6/2.0L diesel engine.
Ive had a few Vauxhall carsbin my lifetime Thomas, but unfortunately i think the latest models look dated in style.
Im driving a Moka elite 1.4.Turbo just now, and it has been first class over the last two and a half year.
But as im due to change my car, come the end of 2019. I won't be purchasing another Vauxhall car, this time around.
Infact im seriously thinking of buying a Suzkui car, but haven't decided what model as yet.Having carried out due diligence on most cars, i now feel at my age (OAP) a Car like a Zuzuki would suit my needs ideally.
Would like to hear others comment's, whether there positive or a negative nature.Thank you all.👍
thanks for the feedback!
The microphone captures a lot of wind sound in the cockpit, probably have to improve acoustic insulation, greetings from Argentina
+Miguel Fernandez the sound insulation is good. Also this is our common mic setup. Maybe the road surface was rough and also we started with autobahn which is always louder

0:33 looks like the wheels aren't moving
that happens when the turning speed of the wheels is exactly matched in a special way to the framerate of the camera :)
Yep.
ToPaz blue? It's my favourite for this car :)
sure is!
Interior is already old fashioned. So 2000's with those Chevrolet Aveo headlights knobs
One big question, ...... is it family friendly, is the space of the car enaugh for let's say....a family with a baby? is the trunk big enaugh for a baby carriege and other stuff? Thank you for the answer (whoever answers :D).
i think so
Opel Grandad
I think this car has a good value if you want to drive a 3008 in a cheaper manner, however I doubt I could live with this old fashioned outdated Opel interieur. The 1,2l three cylinder motor which I currently drive in the 2008 (THX autogefühl for the review which convinced me to buy that one) seems a little bit weak for this bigger type of car. Would definetely prefer the Diesel for this Grandland.
Thanks for following!
Kommt demnächst ein Test über den Hyundai I30 N ??
Grüße !!!
Zurzeit ist noch nichts geplant, aber wir versuchen uns darum zu kümmern :)

Top das finde ich gut.
Macht weiter so !
Steht bei mir im Test Schedule an, sobald er geliefert wird. Eventuell kurz mal auf meinem Kanal vorbeischauen und bis zum Test des Hyundai i30N die anderen Test anschauen?
Thomas. Do you know if Petrol engines will have adaptive cruise control. At the moment it is for diesel. But what about petrol? Thanks. It is hard to find out in my country :)
hmm best is to get the price list for your country and then use the search function!
Dealers do not know. There is an option. But for diesel. I thought you might know. Is ACC in Germany available for petrol engines? I can't believe that's only for diesel available. Not a big fan of diesel. If ACC available for petrol in Germany, it might be possible later in Lithuania maybe too. As car itself I think is quite good. Only missing piece is ACC
it would indeed be strange to combine that to an engine
And what about Germany? Also diesel Only?
lol you really made me check the price list now :D
Only available for 1.6 and 2.0 Diesel with automatic transmission each.

Grandland X Ultimate review: ua-cam.com/video/wqmoZQjUyQM/v-deo.html
D2xx chasis?
platform is called EMP-2
It uses PSA's platform EMP2
Not just the platform, it's basically a Peugeot 3008 with different bodywork.
what about the engines, is 1.6 diesel actually psa's 1.6 HDi?
Yes, both engines come from PSA as well.
I love the car, but I heard Vauxhalls are not reliable cars...also you save fuel by getting onto higher gears which have less revs...hence staying in lower gears consumes more fuel.
Ive had Vauxhall/opels for 25 years kitty apart from 1 faulty battery not one problem.
Hi , könntest du uns helfen ; Grandland X vs VW T roc .. wir ( ich + Freundin ohne Kinder ) diese Woche unbedingt einen holen.. aber täglich OPEL VW::: VW OPEL :::: HILFEEEE

Sell Opel and buy a car! j/k
Nice car and great video!
+ZedZedski thx m8!
That sounds like a lot of wind noise during the driving parts.

"Practice some yoga* 😂
dat iwc big pilot tho...
She just want to see Thomas' eyes ;)
the insignia lifted up a bit
It’s the same platform as Peugeot 3008 / 5008 as PSA purchased Opel/Vauxhall recently
Don't understand why vauxhall doesn't offer their 1.4 turbo petrol engines instead of this engine.
Robert H It’s an old engine
It is nice looking car but it has one big problem. Petrol engine selection has so weak options. Best they offer for this car is 96kw 1.2 Turbo engine with 10.9s to 100km/h acceleration. Thats so weak compared to other SUV in this segment. I would say this car has one of the worst engines of all SUV market. I understand it has 3 cylinders but come on. Even diesel engine is so weak 88kw?
I went for Karoq yesterday and ordered 1.5 TSI that has 110kw and has 8.6s to 100km/h
Karoq driving review in a couple of days!
Yay nice looking forward it!
Compared to Kadjar and Quashqai petrol engines, the Grandland one is not that bad. Have you driven it, or just looking at numbers?
Hi Thomas, would you say that the french branded cars still suffer from the comments of the past such as bad electrics etc. I live in the UK and I'm 36 years old, but ever since being a teen, French cars always had a reputation for being unreliable in terms of car electrics. I don't know if this was ever true, but it's a common thing to say in UK. What do you think?
the new models look promising. Long-term experience has to been seen
There were some problems in the past eg. with the Peugeot 307. However when more money is spend building a car, it can be made better. And the 3008, on which this vehicle is based, does not try to be the cheapest entry in the segment. So I would not be to worried, to be honest. But realistically I would also not expect PSA to reach Toyota like levels of reliability overnight. But seriously. Do you choose your girlfriend, because she is the most punctual? All the famous german brands have also had quality issues, if you really want to know the truth. And that does not stop people from buying them, because the products are though of as decirable.
I would say that Opel and PSA has similar long term quality. They buy their parts from the same manufacturers (PSA and Opel owns together, since 2012, a company responsible for all purchases and logistics to their factories). I've never experienced PSA cars to have unreliable electrics, all things from electrical windows to radio and climate control has worked fine in my cars even in cold harsh winters. The reputation is from the 70's and 80's, the electronics is not an issue any more.
Valeo, Faurecia, Plastic omnium... All these french firms are Big auto suppliers (Volkswagen-Audi, GM, Ford, Mercedes, FCA, Renault-Nissan...) www.faurecia.com/en/faurecia-equipped-mercedes-benz-s-class-interior-without-parallel-worldwide
If Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, DS (and Now Opel & Vauxhall) were still unreliable since 90's they would be already dead and not ranked #2 and #3 in Europe.
why Don't you reports crash test for each car ?
ua-cam.com/video/IBvjPTJZ_1I/v-deo.html
Good looking car but the armrests arn't convincing me that french quality is on par with german. Also, very bad visibility for kids in the backseat.
somehow everything is loose :-D
looks pretty much like corsa 2008 at interior in materials and some parts; the wheel you show is not steady - hehe, opel did not solve yet this problem, the wheel wobbles at around 50K km at my opel corsa; very unreliable car
No it really doesnt lol
Beter name for this Opel is Frontera! Opel Frontera not grandland.
Blind Spot in Opel's real cars... warns earlier...
This is cheap French technology, longer range to detect vehicles requires more expensive sensors and PSA wants to save money - and you as a customer get a worse car - that is the failure of PSA.
And this is not the only technology PSA saved money on...
Djeseret Wrong...
Valeo (a french company) equip all General Motors vehicles with its blindspot detection system since 2007. Same supplier for PSA and GM (Opel).
Opels system detects cars when they are 3 meters Behind - 3008 - Grandland does not...
Opel's warning for change of traffic lanes detects cars when they are 70 meters Behind.
Djeseret Need to be updated ?
www.peugeot.co.uk/showroom/3008/suv/safety/
According to Peugeot, there is no such system like the one in Opel.
"Opels system detects cars when they are 3 meters Behind - 3008 - Grandland does not...
Opel's warning for change of traffic lanes detects cars when they are 70 meters Behind."
You have no reason to question what I have written.
Peugeot does not support you.
