Chronology
Predecessor

The Opel Grandland (Vauxhall Grandland in the United Kingdom) is a compact crossover SUV produced by the German manufacturer Opel. It was originally known as the Opel and Vauxhall Grandland X, until the facelift of the first generation model when it dropped the X suffix in the nameplate.[1] It was introduced as a replacement for the Opel Antara, and also replaced the Opel Zafira in 2019.[2]

The second generation model was released in April 2024, it is based on the Stellantis' STLA Medium platform, shared with a wider range of other Stellantis vehicles.

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]

The second generation Grandland was officially revealed on 22 April 2024 and is the third vehicle based on the Stellantis' STLA Medium platform.[11][12] In addition to versions powered by an internal combustion engine, an all-electric variant also became available.

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 the first Opel/Vauxhall production model to feature illuminated brand lettering in centre on the full-width taillights.[12]

The interior uses 100% recyclable materials for the fabric and upholstery. There is a 16-inch central touchscreen infotainment system, 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.[12]

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.[12]

On 13 June 2025, an AWD version of the electric Grandland was announced. Power was raised to 239 kW (325 PS; 321 hp) and 509 N⋅m (375 lb⋅ft) of torque.[13] As of June 2025, it was the most powerful model in Opel's lineup.[14]
