Updated 04/01/2026 13: 00 ET. vauxhall has added a plug-in hybrid variant to the Grandland family and opened orders, delivering a new 1. 6-litre turbocharged petrol plus 21kWh battery setup. The new Grandland PHEV pairs that system with a combined output of 222bhp and offers up to 51 miles of EV-only running, with pricing from £36, 615 to £39, 740 across three trims.
Details and pricing
The Grandland plug-in hybrid joins existing hybrid and pure-electric options, expanding the model line-up. Pricing starts at £36, 615 for Design, rises to £38, 565 in GS and tops out at £39, 740 in Ultimate, placing the PHEV close to the regular hybrid and comparable to the electric variant on price. Orders are open now.
Under the bonnet is a 1. 6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission and an electric motor fed by a 21kWh battery. The combined output is 222bhp with 350Nm of torque; quoted electric-only range is up to 51 miles (WLTP combined figures are cited). CO2 emissions and economy figures are provided alongside the powertrain: one specification lists CO2 at 55g/km with a WLTP-rated economy equivalent of 117. 7mpg, while other presented figures place CO2 close to that band.
Vauxhall technology and trim levels
The plug-in Grandland is offered across the same Design, GS and Ultimate trims used elsewhere in the range. Design specification includes LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a rear camera, adaptive cruise control and twin 10-inch screens with wireless smartphone integration. GS adds a Vizor front end with an illuminated badge, tinted rear windows, sportier gloss-black exterior highlights, heated front seats, heated steering wheel and a larger central 16-inch touchscreen with wireless charging. Ultimate brings advanced driver assistance and comfort features, including a 360-degree camera, semi-automated lane-change and lane-positioning assists, rear cross-traffic alert, long-range blind-spot detection, a head-up display, powered hands-free tailgate and an upgraded 10-speaker sound system.
The PHEV retains Grandland’s practical dimensions: boot space remains at 550 litres with 40: 20: 40 split-folding rear seats creating up to 1, 645 litres of load volume, avoiding the boot-space penalties seen on some rival PHEV designs.
Immediate reactions and context
Vauxhall presents the new plug-in option as completing the Grandland’s electrified line-up and sharing its drivetrain with a closely related model from Peugeot, while delivering a higher combined output than the Peugeot counterpart. Industry notes attached to the launch highlight an electric range of up to 51 miles and a technology-led equipment spread across trims to position the Grandland PHEV competitively against mid-size SUV rivals.
Business and tax context is cited for fleet buyers: a published summary of the model’s launch references a benefit-in-kind rate adjustment to 10% for the 2026/27 tax year following Government changes to BiK calculations, which figures into company-car cost comparisons.
What’s next
Orders are open now and early adopters will see the PHEV slot into dealer line-ups alongside hybrid and electric Grandlands. Expect official customer availability details and local delivery timetables to follow from vauxhall showrooms and corporate announcements; pricing has been confirmed for the three trim levels and further specification or option packs may be published as stock and order banks evolve.
