Summary
The Vauxhall Grandland Electric is a mid-sized battery-powered SUV/crossover that became available to order in the UK in Autumn 2024. It’s part of the second-generation Grandland range, which also includes a petrol mild-hybrid version which we cover here.
Built on the same foundations as the mechanically-similar Peugeot e-3008, the Grandland Electric is described by British reviewers as a sensible family SUV choice, which is perfectly capable at performing the usual around-town duties, but doesn’t stand out well in an increasingly crowded field of highly-regarded electric SUVs.
What Car?’s Dan Jones says that the SUV will appeal to those looking for “good electric range and lots of standard kit”, but finds it hard to recommend the Vauxhall over the likes of the Kia EV6, while Autocar’s Vicky Parrott argue that the Grandland Electric is a “better-value” version of the e-3008, but “the ride could be comfier.”
“The Grandland Electric does exactly what it says on the tin as a compact crossover”, concludes Top Gear’s Peter Rawlins who praises the car’s smart exterior looks and upmarket interior fit and finish, “but it’s not going to knock your socks off.”
As of November 2024, the Vauxhall Grandland Electric holds a New Car Expert Rating of C with a score of 65%. Beyond the car’s lower-than-average review scores, this overall rating is aided by the SUV’s low running costs.

The Vauxhall Grandland Electric is a relatively affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.
Electrical efficiency (the EV equivalent of miles per gallon for a petrol or diesel car) is good, which helps to give the Grandland Electric a strong battery range. Servicing costs should also be very competitive, and are predicted to be a few hundred pounds cheaper than the Peugeot e-3008 over the course of the first five years of ownership.
