Opel Grandland X Hybrid4 is a plug-in hybrid crossover with AWD. The car is built in cooperation with PSA, so underneath it shares components with the Peugeot 3008, Citroen C5 and DS7.
In 2017 the French car giant PSA ,which owns Citroen, DS and Peugeot, acquired Opel (Vauxhall) from GM. This made PSA the second largest car conglomerate in Europe after the Volkswagen Group. Since about then new Opel models were launched on the PSA platforms.
Built on the PSA EMP2 the Opel/Vauxhall Grandland X debuted at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, and it is currently Opel’s largest SUV or rather a crossover. It replaced the Antara, which was also known as the Chevrolet Captiva.
The Opel Grandland X debuted with a PSA 1.2 litre 130hp petrol 3-banger, and a 1.6 120 hp diesel. Since then 1.6 diesel has been replaced with a 1.5 130 hp diesel, and there is also now a more powerful, 2-litre diesel. All the engines are known from PSA.
Regardless of the engine variant the Opel Grandland X, like the 3008 and C5 Aircross, was a FWD car. Until the plug-in hybrid version arrived.
↔ Opel Grandland X Hybrid4 dimensions:
✔ length: 4477 mm
✔ width: 1856 mm
✔ height: 1609 mm
✔ wheelbase: 2675 mm
✔ boot/trunk: 390 L

Really nice review Marek! I really like that you make your videos in English because I see so many people just talking their own languages in reviews even though they would reach out to more people in English. You are also calm and thorough in the information you tell us 👌You got my sub and like 😊 Cheers from Sweden / Kim

Fun fact, Opel and PSA co-developped grandland x/ ceossland x and new combo before they discussed acquisitions. Apparently that’s why matrix LED were not available on grandland, so PSA engineering doesn’t know it will come on other models like the insignia or astra. Looking forward to see how this very vehicule will be updated in the coming month. Thanks Marek for all your down to earth and mildly amusing reviews 😅

@kalervonuolenpaa2452 3 года назад

This was a good review, thank you. I am from one of those countries where an PHEV makes sense so this is a contender to be my company car for the next 3 years BUT I am really worried about the back seat space. When I put my two kids in their safety seats I do not want to feel them kicking me in the back. Looking at the footage in the video the back seat looks really short. I have a test drive coming up in a few days and I will definitely test with the kids' safety seat.

Nice review. Found it at the right time. Looking for a "new" car and never thought I'll be looking at opels(well vauxhalls here in the uk) but this one caught my eyes and the used price is actually quite good. Need something for a family of 4 and even though boot isn't great, a roof box could aolve the problem on long holidays. And why phev? Well we live in a small town where theres no point to buy a diesel and the electric range would do me for 4-5 days. Anything else you would recommend? Thank you. Subscription just went in 😜

That is definitely an old GM (Buick/Opel) interior. This looks like a newer version of a Buick Captiva we used to get in the States as a fleet and rental car-only offering. When I drove it as a rental, it was always just fine- forgettable, in a good way.

Hi guys, can you explain to me, if I choose to use only EV mode, and in 50 km it will be empty, what will happen with the electric motors, will I still have 300 horse power if I need to overtake someone? Can you explain the sequence of the power train. Thanks

@MarekDrivesENG 2 месяца назад

You still get some power in the battery, so 300 hp is always there.

@ronaldzandstra3315 3 года назад

I got to drive the phev with 225hp. I didn’t like how it drove, a bit too much power only on the frontwheels and it wasn’t comfortbale with speedbumps and bumps in the road.

@aka7kak8 3 года назад

Not clear if gearbox is shifting in ev mode like skoda iV. Nonsense :) Also concerned about cold engine sprint run. How to keep it in reasonably warmed condition for on-demand sprints? Hybrid mode seems still too low mpg, and ev mode will likely keep ICE stoped most of the time.

@MarekDrives 3 года назад

If it's too cold the petrol engine will kick in anyway. Also, once the petrol engine is one, it will keep running until it reaches sufficient temperature. Like with any car, you shouldn't do a cold sprint, so let it work for a bit, before doing anything crazy.

@Ahmad-Mounir44 2 года назад

Why in certain countries the Grandland X is only 163 hp? Also, some options and features have been removed. For example, I am in Egypt and I don't have the following: paddle shifters, wireless charger, driving mode, 6 buttons in infotainment (I only have 4 buttons) and lane assistant. I have the traditional auto transmission stick and not this chin shaver stick.

@MarekDrives 2 года назад

I assume it may have a different engine, and an older transmission. Also some of the options may not be available to keep the price down or to better fit in the lineup (whatever's offered above and below it) in a given market.

@Ahmad-Mounir44 2 года назад

@@MarekDrives Good point. It depends on the market needs of these countries. For instance, the grip control used to come with it in early 2021 models but then they removed it in mid 2021 models when consumers didn't use it much. Thank you Marek ;)

@MarekDrives 3 года назад

Is the Drive Mode in Electric? If the engine still starts up, perhaps some conditions are not met. I'm assuming you're in Ireland, where it is probably just as cold, as in Poland right now. Maybe the petrol engine needs to keep warm enough in case it has to kick in.

Can the grand land drive in 4x4 electric mode only like outlander? Or does the engine have to run ? Thanks

@MarekDrivesENG 2 года назад

The petrol engine powers only the front wheels, and the electric motor only the rear wheels.

@didzital 2 года назад

At least my 2020 Grandland X drives 4WD in fully electric mode. There's three motors - One petrol in the front, and electric ones in the rear and front axels. If you kick down the gas hard enough, the petrol engine fires up, but at least I've been happily driving 4WD with electric only as long as I don't go for extreme acceleration. And of course, conditions need to be met, as in, not too cold. Even in freezing temperatures, the car starts as hybrid, but fairly quickly you're able to switch to either fully electric, or 4WD electric.

@gazzrobb2366 2 года назад

@MarekDrives 3 года назад

Tesla Y in Germany (I use German prices for reviews in English) starts at 58k for the non-performance model. Add 7.5k for the Autopilot (of course you want the Autopilot), maybe different wheels, maybe fancy color, and you're up in high 60s. As long as there is charging infrastructure, this could make sense. In Poland it doesn't. Also in Poland we can't order the Y yet.

I won't understand in 100 years why anybody would prefer such a dull and boring car over a nice and pretty thing like a 3008 oder C5 Aircross. The opel certainly is a good car. But it's interior is so *yaaaaawn* compared to the peugeot's or the citroen's.

@MarekDrives 3 года назад

I agree, the 3008 and C5A are much more interesting. If C5A was offered with AWD, I'd definitely choose that one.

@AB-80X 3 года назад

It's interesting how insanely bad this car perform in the real world. In hybrid, about 10 km/l and range in electric only is between 30 and 36 km AT BEST! Some get as low as 20 km on a charge. It is so expensive to run that is makes zero sense, and Opel and PSA is lying through their teeth about its performance.

@reMARKably_me 3 года назад

the level of sarcasm in the review is annoying.

@martian9999 3 года назад

pointlessly less pretty and interesting on the outside than the 3008. Generic on the inside, too. An expensive, forgettable car IMHO

@MarekDrives 3 года назад

Judging by what people really drive (vs. what car people like), forgettable is among top priorities, when choosing a car :) As for the price, I'm looking at peugeot.de site, and the 3008 Hybrid FWD starts ar 43k. The cheapest Hybrid4 costs 49k, and if you go all out it's going to cost 54k + whatever options you add. So it costs pretty much the same. But I agree the 3008 is a much better/interesting looking car.
