The Vauxhall Crossland X is a compact yet roomy SUV that’s ideal if your family includes small children. It looks good and is kind to your wallet, with fuel-efficient engines and lots of standard equipment. Its small size means it’s also really easy to drive.
The Crossland X was sold new from 2017 to 2020 when it was replaced by the updated Crossland. You can easily tell them apart as they have different front-end styling.
There are two petrol and two diesel engines to choose from in the Crossland. The more powerful petrol engines have a turbocharger that makes them the better option if you make longer journeys. The diesels are extremely efficient, though you might find them a little noisy. Most models have a manual gearbox but you can find automatics if you prefer.
There are five trim levels to choose from, with SE at the bottom of the ladder and Elite Nav at the top. You’ll see ‘Nav’ in the names of several models, indicating that they have sat nav. The special edition Griffin and Ultimate models have unique trims and equipment packages that make them particularly good value.
The Crossland X has a lot of standard tech, including a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Every model also has air con, DAB radio and Bluetooth. Go for one of the higher spec models and you get sat nav, cruise control, parking sensors and USB charging ports. The top-spec Elite even has heated leather seats and a heated steering wheel to keep you comfy in cold weather.
The Crossland X is very cost-effective to run for a well-sized and practical family car. According to official figures, petrol models can give fuel economy of 40-48mpg and diesels can give 61-74mpg, depending on their engine/gearbox combination. Road tax and insurance costs are low, too.
Other compact SUVs similar to the Crossland X include the Mazda CX-3, the Renault Captur and the Ford Puma. The Crossland is an extremely practical option and especially good value for money.
The Crossland X is extremely practical for a compact car. Four adults fit comfortably, though if your passengers are taller than average they might find their back-seat legroom feels a bit tight. Still, there’s plenty of space in the back for two children and a third can even squeeze into the middle seat if needed. The boot is very generous in size, so you’ll have no issues packing in several large suitcases or pushchairs. The back seat slides forwards and backwards, so you can adjust the balance of passenger and boot space to your needs.
Vauxhall makes three SUVs – you can tell older models apart because they have an ‘X’ in their names, while newer models go without. The Crossland is the value-focused entry-level model, though it’s actually about the same size as the more stylish Vauxhall Mokka. The bigger Grandland tops the range. Comparing it to Vauxhall’s hatchback cars in size, the Crossland sits between the Corsa supermini and the mid-size Astra.
Safety organisation Euro NCAP gave the Crossland X it’s maximum five-star rating. It protects the driver and passengers well in an accident and all models have plenty of driver safety features to help prevent a collision or to reduce its consequences.
