Vauxhall Grandland (2017-2024) - Reliability and safety

Just so you know, this is an older review of the 2017-2024 Vauxhall Grandland. If you are interested in information about the reliability of the latest Vauxhall Grandland, or news of upcoming Vauxhall models, please follow the links provided.

The Vauxhall Grandland finished in a fairly average 23rd out of 50 cars in the most recent 2024 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey. That’s four places behind the Skoda Karoq, but a good deal better than the Ford Kuga, which only achieved 37th place. Vauxhall as a brand dropped to 26th out of 32 manufacturers included in the survey. That’s some distance behind Hyundai in 17th place, but at least it's still ahead of Ford in 30th place.

Safety experts Euro NCAP awarded the Grandland the maximum five-star rating back in 2017, but the test has progressed since then, and now this rating has expired. You still get plenty of safety assistance tech with your Grandland, with automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane departure warning, driver drowsiness alert, and front and rear parking sensors.

Warranty

The Vauxhall Grandland comes with a three-year/60,000-mile warranty. While it’ll be of little consequence to many motorists, Vauxhall actually offers that warranty without a mileage cap for the first year. 

The policy is competitive, if not class leading. Kia continues to offer a seven-year/100,000-mile warranty, while Hyundai’s five-year/unlimited-mileage deal is particularly appealing for higher-mileage motorists. 

You also get a one-year roadside assistance policy, although you can extend this 12 months at a time after you get your Grandland serviced at a Vauxhall dealer.

Servicing

The Grandland requires servicing annually or every 16,000 miles, whichever comes first, Vauxhall offers various servicing plans based on the age of your vehicle, with prices starting from around £20 for petrol and hybrid cars.
