Vauxhall Grandland Electric

All-new second generation of Vauxhall’s big family SUV gains an electric variant with a 325-mile range

The Stellantis EV onslaught continues with this: the new Vauxhall Grandland Electric. It’s the third model to arrive on the STLA Medium platform, after the Peugeot e-3008 and Peugeot e-5008.You will be able to get it with a combustion engine, too: head to our main Vauxhall Grandland review for that. For this review, we will focus on the battery-powered version.The Grandland Electric gets the same 73kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery as the e-3008, mated to a 207bhp electric motor on the front wheels for a WLTP range of up to 325 miles. Rapid charging can be done at speeds of up to 160kW for a 10-80% charge in some 25 minutes.A 98kWh battery option will arrive next year, giving an official range of 435 miles.This car is a five-seater, and there’s no word of a seven-seater any time soon, so the Grandland is taking on a huge variety of rivals, ranging from the Volkswagen ID 4, Renault Scenic E-Tech and MG ZS EV right up to the BMW iX1, Mercedes-Benz EQA and Tesla Model Y – not forgetting its platform-mate, the e-3008.
