Gemini said The 2022 Vauxhall Grandland 1.5 Turbo Ultimate represents the top-tier, internal combustion offering for Vauxhall’s mid-sized SUV. Following its 2022 facelift, it dropped the "X" from its name and adopted the brand’s "Vizor" front-end design, positioning itself as a high-spec, tech-heavy family cruiser. Transmission: It is available with either a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic gearbox. 0–62 mph: Roughly 10.3 seconds. Top Speed: 117–121 mph depending on the gearbox configuration. Efficiency: It returns a respectable 44–48 mpg (WLTP combined), with CO2 emissions hovering around 141–148 g/km. Ultimate Trim Highlights The "Ultimate" badge means this car is "all-in" on equipment. Visually, it is distinguished by 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, high-gloss black exterior detailing, and a black contrast roof. The interior features the "Pure Panel" cockpit, which consists of a 12-inch digital instrument cluster paired with a 10-inch central infotainment touchscreen. This setup supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and integrated Satellite Navigation. Key Comfort & Convenience Features: Alcantara Upholstery: Premium seat finishes with AGR-approved (Campaign for Healthier Backs) ergonomic sports seats. Winter Pack: Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a heated ThermaTec windscreen for frosty mornings. Power Tailgate: Hands-free access with a "kick sensor" under the rear bumper. Tech Extras: Wireless smartphone charging and keyless entry/start. Safety and Driver Assistance Vauxhall packed the Ultimate trim with their most advanced "PureSense" safety suite. Most notably, it includes IntelliLux LED Pixel Headlights, which use 84 LEDs per unit to "shape" the beam around oncoming traffic, allowing you to keep high beams on without dazzling others. Other standard safety tech includes: 360-degree Panoramic Camera: Providing a bird's-eye view for easier parking. Advanced Park Assist: The car can steer itself into parking spaces. Highway Integration Assist: Combines adaptive cruise control with lane positioning to assist on long motorway hauls. Side Blind Spot Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking. Practicality The Grandland remains a highly practical family choice. The boot offers 514 litres of space with the seats up, expanding to 1,652 litres with the 60/40 split rear seats folded flat. Unlike the Plug-in Hybrid versions, this 1.2 petrol model retains its full boot depth since there is no battery pack under the floor.
