Video Summary
Here is the summary of the electric car review:The Vauxhall Grandland is wider, longer, and taller than its predecessor. This model has a 73-kilowatt-hour battery. It can achieve up to 325 miles on the WLTP. A version with a bigger battery, with 400 miles, will be available next year.
The front of the car stands out with its design cues. It is inspired by a concept car and it has a 3D effect from the LED strip. It is bold and has a nice ground clearance. The review points out the plus signs in the grill design giving a nod to its electric nature. It has a parking camera and aidus system. The model comes in the Impact Copper color with a bronze-like effect, although a different color is preferable. The intelli-lux lights have more than 50,000 elements.
The body has a single line that leads to the back, and the design is simple, minimalist and smooth. It includes 20-inch alloys that suit the level of the car. It has black finishing all around the vehicle, and if any contours exist, they subtly flare out a tad.
The back maintains the design language and is bold. In the UK, the car will feature the Vauxhall name at the back. It features a luggage area of 550 liters with a split of 40/20 for the seats with maximum liters of 1,645. It is wide enough to fit a washing machine. Additionally, it is convenient to get things into the car because the luggage area sits nice and flush.
Regarding the back seat, there's plenty of space for knees, and it is big enough to put a car seat. There's also room down here to store and there are USB-C ports. In terms of control, the back passengers have to rely on the people on the front because there is no back climate control. The seats are designed so that the person will be comfortable even for long periods. There is a lot of space all around in the back.
The front of the car has a 16-inch driver-focused display, 10-inch instrument cluster, and a heads-up display to keep you informed. The model has Apple CarPlay integrated. Some parts of the interior include plastic or carbon fiber. It contains a small pixel box for your phone to wirelessly charge.
Energy Recuperation, with its different level paddle shifts, doesn't feel different when driving. It features a "Pure Mode" so you can completely concentrate on the road ahead and avoid any distraction.
This review also mentions the Frequency Selective Damper, which gives you the best damping experience when on the road, even in the UK where the roads are not that smooth. You may get a bit of wind noise but good visibility all around. The steering column can be adjusted.
In the end, for a price, you get a very well-equipped car that feels premium.
