Vauxhall has revealed the prices and details for the latest version of its flagship SUV – and the manufacturer’s MD has hailed it as a milestone for the brand.
Hybrid and electric powertrains are now available on the Grandland, meaning all Vauxhall models are now available with a fully electric powertrain a full 10 years ahead of government requirements.
The hybrid has a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine mated to an electric motor that produces a total output of 164bhp.
It can do 0-60mph in 10 seconds, pumping out CO2 emissions of 125g/km, while Vauxhall claims this model can achieve a combined 51.4mpg.
The electric version has a 73kWh battery pack featuring a 207bhp electric motor as well as a heat pump as standard. It’ll give a claimed 325 miles between charge-ups and reach 60mph in 8.8 seconds.
This Grandland sits on a new platform that enables a larger battery pack to be offered as well. As such, next year will see it come with a 98kWh system giving an estimated 435 miles on a single charge.
