Chronology
PredecessorOpel Antara

The Opel Grandland (Vauxhall Grandland in the United Kingdom) is a compact crossover SUV which is produced by the German manufacturer Opel and its British twin-sister brand Vauxhall. It was originally known as the Opel and Vauxhall Grandland X.[2] It was introduced at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show as the replacement for the Opel Antara.[3][4] It also replaced the Opel Zafira MPV in August 2019, and is currently sold in Europe and South Africa .[5][6]

Overview

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.[7] Opel started taking orders for the Grandland X in June 2017, and more than 100,000 orders were made by September 2018.[8][9]

The Grandland 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.[10] However, its design intellectual property was registered by General Motors as the vehicle was developed under its ownership.[1]

Facelift

In 2021, the Grandland X received a facelift and was renamed to "Opel Grandland", ditching the 'X' suffix.
