Vauxhall reveals the ultimate Grandland X SUV

Vauxhall has officially introduced the trim level for its all new Grandland X. The new Ultimate trim level, which is also available on the popular Mokka X and Crossland X models, has a high level of equipment as standard and debuts the new 2.0-litre turbodiesel (177bhp) engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Grandland X already offers a selection of ultra-modern assistance and comfort features regardless of trim. OnStar, Dual Zone Climate Control, Lane Departure Warning and Rear Parking Sensors are just some highlights available across the range.

Sitting on 19-inch BiColour alloys, the new Ultimate Grandland X adds to this impressive list of features with kit including Automatic Cruise Control and a Denon premium sound system. Also standard are black roof and door mirrors, alloy sports pedals, heated steering wheel, heated rear outer seats, 360-degree Panoramic Camera and Premium LED Adaptive Forward Lighting Pack with projector head lights.

The new 2,0-litre diesel engine is refined and powerful, delivering 177bhp at 3,750rpm and 400Nm of torque at 2,000rpm to give effortless acceleration. This helps it achieve 0-100km/h in 8.6 seconds and a top speed of 215km/h.

With performance comes also economy, the Grandland X 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine offers official CO₂ emissions of 128g/km and 57.6mpg combined.

A rarity in this class, the Grandland X Ultimate also sees the range debut of an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Similar to that seen in Vauxhall's flagship Insignia range, it has been engineered with a smooth linear shift pattern.
