Video Summary

Okay, here is the requested summary of the YouTube video about the Vauxhall Grandland Electric Car, formatted to meet your guidelines:

The Vauxhall Grandland is now the largest baby in the Vauxhall lineup. Every car in the lineup has an electric option. The new light-up badge was only made legal in Europe this year. The full Vauxhall light-up badge has 51,000 pixels and looks stunning at night, especially when turned on, creating a funky display.

The car is 17 cm larger than the outgoing Grandland. The color is now called Impact Copper. The rear design is considered lovely with a compass vibe and hot cross bun look.

Every fabric material inside the car is recycled, which is a good thing. The interior is lovely with a nice layout, creating a cozy cabin. There is good storage; for instance, the wireless charging pixel box hides the phone from view.

The steering wheel has a new design. The buttons feel like one big button. A potential problem of the steering wheel size, it blocks part of the larger 16" GS or Ultimate trim screen.

Regenerative braking is adjusted with paddles, but all three levels feel nearly the same. Stopping feels different than other EVs and produces a wobble.

The design trim starts at around £40,995. The Ultimate Trim cost is just over £45,000. The car offers buyers £500 towards a home wall box, towards public charging, or towards charging at Tesco.

Overall, the car's high pricing is a drawback compared to Nissan Ariya or used EV options. In the end, the reviewer came to the car with the hope of being pleasantly surprised, but was not, and that the interior may bug you.
