Vauxhall has launched a new top-of-the-range model into its Grandland X SUV line-up. The Ultimate trim level, which is also available on the Mokka X and Crossland X models, has a high level of equipment as standard and debuts the new 2.0-litre Turbo Diesel 177PS 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 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 headlights.

The new 2.0-litre diesel engine powers the Grandland X from 0-60mph in 8.6 seconds and onto a top speed of 133mph. With performance also comes economy as the Grandland X 2.0-litre Turbo Diesel (177PS) Blue Injection 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.

Available to order now, the new Grandland X Ultimate is priced from £33,995 on-the-road.
