Opel Grandland X Hybrid4 - 300 hp AWD PHEV SUV (ENG) - Test Drive and Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- Opel Grandland X Hybrid4 is a plug-in hybrid crossover with AWD. The car is built in cooperation with PSA, so underneath it shares components with the Peugeot 3008, Citroen C5 and DS7.
In 2017 the French car giant PSA ,which owns Citroen, DS and Peugeot, acquired Opel (Vauxhall) from GM. This made PSA the second largest car conglomerate in Europe after the Volkswagen Group. Since about then new Opel models were launched on the PSA platforms.
Built on the PSA EMP2 the Opel/Vauxhall Grandland X debuted at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, and it is currently Opel’s largest SUV or rather a crossover. It replaced the Antara, which was also known as the Chevrolet Captiva.
The Opel Grandland X debuted with a PSA 1.2 litre 130hp petrol 3-banger, and a 1.6 120 hp diesel. Since then 1.6 diesel has been replaced with a 1.5 130 hp diesel, and there is also now a more powerful, 2-litre diesel. All the engines are known from PSA.
Regardless of the engine variant the Opel Grandland X, like the 3008 and C5 Aircross, was a FWD car. Until the plug-in hybrid version arrived.

✔ length: 4477 mm

Really nice review Marek! I really like that you make your videos in English because I see so many people just talking their own languages in reviews even though they would reach out to more people in English. You are also calm and thorough in the information you tell us 👌You got my sub and like 😊 Cheers from Sweden / Kim
Thanks!
Great review.
Fajny akcent, przyjemnie sie slucha.
Lotus carlton/ omega.....those where the days ...
Fun fact, Opel and PSA co-developped grandland x/ ceossland x and new combo before they discussed acquisitions. Apparently that’s why matrix LED were not available on grandland, so PSA engineering doesn’t know it will come on other models like the insignia or astra.
Looking forward to see how this very vehicule will be updated in the coming month.
Thanks Marek for all your down to earth and mildly amusing reviews 😅
Great review . Thanks. Thinking of buying one
Enjoy it
Great review and suitable for family viewing, with no bad language. Thank you.
Im not a fan of the old grandland X but got to say this car looks beautiful. Never seen a car with a different bonnet colour before, looks very cool
It's an option the AWD PHEV models.
This was a good review, thank you. I am from one of those countries where an PHEV makes sense so this is a contender to be my company car for the next 3 years BUT I am really worried about the back seat space. When I put my two kids in their safety seats I do not want to feel them kicking me in the back. Looking at the footage in the video the back seat looks really short. I have a test drive coming up in a few days and I will definitely test with the kids' safety seat.
Also check out Toyota RAV4 PHEV/Suzuki Across (same car).
@@MarekDrives Rav4 Prime is an awesome vehicle. Sadly Toyota Japan will not sell to NZ and Australia. Otherwise I would have bought one. So I’ve got an RAV4 Adventure Hybrid. Thanks for your awesome channel.
Cheers NZ.
Nice review. Found it at the right time. Looking for a "new" car and never thought I'll be looking at opels(well vauxhalls here in the uk) but this one caught my eyes and the used price is actually quite good. Need something for a family of 4 and even though boot isn't great, a roof box could aolve the problem on long holidays. And why phev? Well we live in a small town where theres no point to buy a diesel and the electric range would do me for 4-5 days. Anything else you would recommend? Thank you. Subscription just went in 😜
Great to hear! I'd love it if you got back in a couple of months, and told me, how's it to live with long term.
That is definitely an old GM (Buick/Opel) interior. This looks like a newer version of a Buick Captiva we used to get in the States as a fleet and rental car-only offering. When I drove it as a rental, it was always just fine- forgettable, in a good way.
How does Opel manage to make cars that are not one bit aspirational no matter the price? :D No one ever said „I dream of driving an opel“
It's the Peugeot effect.
The only drawback is price
But the car is awesome
Can't wait for you to test the new Mokka
Probably in the spring 2021. I'm all booked for this 'season".
30 degrees C heatwave :)
with all this high tech, what will happen in a few years though! Will it be ok or start falling appart!
I just watched this to hear your sarcastic and down to earthedness. we don't get this car in Canada.
The Straight Pipes are too happy-chappy? :)
@@MarekDrives Yah. They seem like nice guys but they do the same schtick every time. They are in and around Mississauga/Oakville area just west of Toronto.
Yeah, I wish I discovered them before my trip to Canada, but I think they took off with the Android Auto vs. Apple Car Play video 6 months later.
Why in certain countries the Grandland X is only 163 hp? Also, some options and features have been removed. For example, I am in Egypt and I don't have the following: paddle shifters, wireless charger, driving mode, 6 buttons in infotainment (I only have 4 buttons) and lane assistant. I have the traditional auto transmission stick and not this chin shaver stick.
I assume it may have a different engine, and an older transmission. Also some of the options may not be available to keep the price down or to better fit in the lineup (whatever's offered above and below it) in a given market.
@@MarekDrives Good point. It depends on the market needs of these countries. For instance, the grip control used to come with it in early 2021 models but then they removed it in mid 2021 models when consumers didn't use it much. Thank you Marek ;)
Not clear if gearbox is shifting in ev mode like skoda iV. Nonsense :)
Also concerned about cold engine sprint run. How to keep it in reasonably warmed condition for on-demand sprints? Hybrid mode seems still too low mpg, and ev mode will likely keep ICE stoped most of the time.
If it's too cold the petrol engine will kick in anyway. Also, once the petrol engine is one, it will keep running until it reaches sufficient temperature. Like with any car, you shouldn't do a cold sprint, so let it work for a bit, before doing anything crazy.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I got to drive the phev with 225hp. I didn’t like how it drove, a bit too much power only on the frontwheels and it wasn’t comfortbale with speedbumps and bumps in the road.
Hi guys, can you explain to me, if I choose to use only EV mode, and in 50 km it will be empty, what will happen with the electric motors, will I still have 300 horse power if I need to overtake someone? Can you explain the sequence of the power train. Thanks
You still get some power in the battery, so 300 hp is always there.
Can the grand land drive in 4x4 electric mode only like outlander? Or does the engine have to run ? Thanks
The petrol engine powers only the front wheels, and the electric motor only the rear wheels.
At least my 2020 Grandland X drives 4WD in fully electric mode. There's three motors - One petrol in the front, and electric ones in the rear and front axels. If you kick down the gas hard enough, the petrol engine fires up, but at least I've been happily driving 4WD with electric only as long as I don't go for extreme acceleration. And of course, conditions need to be met, as in, not too cold. Even in freezing temperatures, the car starts as hybrid, but fairly quickly you're able to switch to either fully electric, or 4WD electric.
There is no 4 wheel drive electric ⚡️
@@gazzrobb2366 At least the models we have here in the Nordics, and the 300hp version I have. If you're comparing to a version in other areas in the world, there may be differences. I don't think I've been dreaming when I've been driving 4WD in full electric mode for the past few weeks.
@@didzital sorry, you are right. There is electric AWD in some situations.
Marek please help! I just got one of these yesterday and can't seem to get it to go in electric only mode, any suggestions?
Is the Drive Mode in Electric? If the engine still starts up, perhaps some conditions are not met. I'm assuming you're in Ireland, where it is probably just as cold, as in Poland right now. Maybe the petrol engine needs to keep warm enough in case it has to kick in.
@@MarekDrives thank you so much for replying so fast! Yeah I live in England and it's very very cold right now, maybe that's why, thanks for your help!
@@MarekDrives and yes i was pushing down on the driving mode to select electric then when the little scroll list disappeared it just didn't change at all
I can't find the owner's manual for the Hybrid4 online. I suggest you consult the one you were issued with the car.
@@MarekDrives I have done so and it is very very vague lucky for me I can charge it at work Monday and the plus the machines are free!
Very good English 😉
Dziękuję.
What about the reliability? Considering psa cars track record
It’s a bit of a Q car and despite the exterior looks it sort of makes it appealing.
B mode is most likely for downhill and braking on the engine. At least on a Toyota hybrid it is like that.
Wonder how he shot that thumbnail
upside down*
*don't try this at home
I suggest u to say u r also 5ft 9in tall alongside 175cm for the anglosaxon undecimal people
I'm sure people can do some basic conversion :)
Also 175 cm is 5"7 and a half
@@MarekDrives right the first not the second , a feet is 12 inches. Nothing relevant BTW, your reviews are good & lovely and that's the core of it. I just got inspired by mat watson/jinny buckley reviews. Have a good weekend.
Price is shocking to say the least. That money already buys some proper EV...
Question is if that money buys you a similiar sized / same bodystyle EV? Mabe the Model Y? I'm not sure how much that is in Europe.
Tesla Y in Germany (I use German prices for reviews in English) starts at 58k for the non-performance model. Add 7.5k for the Autopilot (of course you want the Autopilot), maybe different wheels, maybe fancy color, and you're up in high 60s. As long as there is charging infrastructure, this could make sense. In Poland it doesn't. Also in Poland we can't order the Y yet.
Id 3 or 4
This one costs about as much, as a fully loaded ID.3 1st Edition in Poland. TBH, I'd go with the A250e or B250e for about the same price.
55k?????????
LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣
51000 are they insane??? What is the average salary in Poland? 20k a year? Maybe? They have lost their minds.
They didn’t make this car for Poland…
20k?? Than you re really optimistic.. make 14-16k
as You say- have no sense......
I won't understand in 100 years why anybody would prefer such a dull and boring car over a nice and pretty thing like a 3008 oder C5 Aircross. The opel certainly is a good car. But it's interior is so *yaaaaawn* compared to the peugeot's or the citroen's.
I agree, the 3008 and C5A are much more interesting. If C5A was offered with AWD, I'd definitely choose that one.
It's interesting how insanely bad this car perform in the real world. In hybrid, about 10 km/l and range in electric only is between 30 and 36 km AT BEST! Some get as low as 20 km on a charge. It is so expensive to run that is makes zero sense, and Opel and PSA is lying through their teeth about its performance.
the level of sarcasm in the review is annoying.
What a peace of shit car! Like history said Opel can not produce good realible cars, and that its the fact.
pointlessly less pretty and interesting on the outside than the 3008. Generic on the inside, too. An expensive, forgettable car IMHO
Judging by what people really drive (vs. what car people like), forgettable is among top priorities, when choosing a car :)
As for the price, I'm looking at peugeot.de site, and the 3008 Hybrid FWD starts ar 43k. The cheapest Hybrid4 costs 49k, and if you go all out it's going to cost 54k + whatever options you add. So it costs pretty much the same. But I agree the 3008 is a much better/interesting looking car.
