Dark tinted rear windows, sweeping LED light clusters and 18-inch alloys - also gloss black - complete the styling. There is a black roof with gloss black roof rails, gloss black detailing and badging, along with gloss black front and rear skid plates. The sporty-looking GS Line Grandland boasts lots of gloss black trim to give it plenty of road presence. While the official WLTP-tested fuel efficiency figure of 192mpg would only be seen if the car was driven a large percentage of the time in EV mode and then recharged regularly, the low carbon emissions figure of 31g/km does bring with it attractive tax savings, especially for business drivers. It can be driven at speeds up to 84mph in electric-only mode and there are Hybrid and Sport modes to choose from too.

With the car starting in EV mode as its default, the acceleration out the starting blocks is sharp and this car can sprint to 60mph in just 8.9 seconds and onto a top speed of 140mph. The mid-trim GS Line model cost £33,820 with the price bumped up a further £600 thanks to two-coat metallic paintwork. We opted to try the 1.6-litre plug in hybrid model that sees the 180ps petrol engine working with a 110ps electric motor to deliver a combined 225ps and 300Nm of torque. VAUXHALL has launched its new family SUV Grandland model and it comes with a wide choice of trim levels as well as the option of plug-in hybrid technology.įormerly known as the Grandland X, the latest generation has ditched the X from its name but gained a fresh, smarter design, a wealth of upgraded technology, improved driving dynamics and more powertrain choices.
