Vauxhall Grandland Electric AWD: specs, range and price

© media.stellantis.com

Vauxhall has unveiled the Grandland Electric AWD — a new all-wheel-drive take on its electric crossover that blends power, long-range ability and extra comfort. It carries a 73 kWh lithium‑ion battery good for up to 311 miles (around 500 km) on the WLTP cycle. A 20–80% top-up takes just 26 minutes when plugged into a 160 kW DC charger.

The dual-motor setup pairs a 213 hp unit on the front axle with a 112 hp motor at the rear, for a combined 325 hp and 509 Nm. The 0–100 km/h sprint takes 6.1 seconds. Four drive modes — Normal, AWD, Sport and Eco — tailor the car for efficiency, response or maximum traction. On paper, the numbers promise brisk pace and confident grip.

The AWD variant stands out with aerodynamic accents, 20-inch wheels and Vauxhall’s illuminated 3D Vizor grille. Inside, you get upscale materials, a 16-inch infotainment display, a digital instrument cluster, and, in Ultimate trim, a Focal audio system. The visual drama is measured, which suits the car’s practical brief.

Standard kit includes adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance and a 360-degree camera. Owners can also tap into the Electric All In package with an eight-year warranty, charging incentives and free home charging for 10,000 miles.

Prices for the Grandland Electric AWD start at £35,495 (€40,870) in GS trim — £1,510 less than the equivalent single-motor version — and from £36,995 (almost €42,600) for the range-topping Ultimate. It’s a rare case of more driven wheels for less money, rounding out an appealing spec sheet.
