The Opel Grandland (Vauxhall Grandland in the United Kingdom) is a compact crossover SUV produced by the German manufacturer Opel and its British twin-sister brand Vauxhall. It was originally known as the Opel and Vauxhall Grandland X.[1] It was introduced as a replacement for the Opel Antara, and also replaced the Opel Zafira in 2019.[2]

First generation (2017)

Plans for the Grandland X were known as early as May 2012, before PSA Peugeot Citroën officially indicated in December of that year that it would build the eventual replacement for the Zafira.[4]

The Grandland X was officially revealed on 18 April 2017 as Opel's flagship crossover SUV and premiered at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.[5] Opel started taking orders for the Grandland X in June 2017 and more than 100,000 orders were made by September 2018.[6][7]

The Grandland I is based on the PSA EMP2 platform which is shared with related models which include the Peugeot 3008 II, Peugeot 5008 II, DS 7 Crossback and Citroën C5 Aircross.[8] However, its design intellectual property was registered by General Motors as the vehicle was developed under its ownership.

Facelift

In June 2021, the Grandland X received a facelift and was renamed to just Grandland, dropping the 'X' suffix. Changes includes the adoption of Opel's 'Vizor' front fascia (debut on the Mokka), new matrix LED lighting technology, a revamped interior with a new dual-touchscreen layout, new gear selector for the automatic transmission, and added safety features.[9]

Second generation (2024)

The second generation Grandland was officially revealed on 22 April 2024 and is the third vehicle to based on the Stellantis' STLA Medium platform.[10][11]

Overview

The Grandland borrows design elements from the Experimental concept car. These include the "3D Visor" front fascia with an illuminated logo, Intelli-Lux Pixel HD lighting system, an option of a dual-tone exterior colour, and illuminated brand lettering in centre on the full-width taillights (a first on an Opel/Vauxhall production model).[11]

The interior uses 100% recyclable materials for the fabric and upholstery. There is a 16 in (41 cm) central touchscreen, a small fully digital instrument cluster, an Intelli-HUD head-up display, Intelli-Seat feature in the front seats certified by "Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V." and a Pure Mode which reduces content on the three displays to eliminate distractions in certain driving conditions.[11]

The Grandland has over 35 L (1.2 cu ft) of interior storage spaces. The main highlights are the Pixel Box which has an illuminated translucent glass surface surrounding the fabric upholstery, with a wireless smartphone charger slot behind the glass piece.[11]

It will be offered with mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicle powertrains.[11]
