The 2022 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2 Turbo 130 Auto in Ultimate trim is the brand?s take on the practical small SUV formula, compact, efficient, and now dressed with a sharper edge. While the Crossland won?t win any beauty contests outright, the facelifted version benefits from Vauxhall?s bold ?Vizor? front end, bringing it in line with the rest of the range and giving it a much-needed dose of presence. In Ultimate trim, it?s dressed to impress with 17-inch bi-colour alloys, contrasting roof paint, and a generous helping of chrome and gloss-black trim. Under the bonnet lies the familiar 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 130bhp, paired to a six-speed automatic gearbox. It?s a willing unit, with enough punch to feel confident in everyday driving, and the auto ?box shifts smoothly if not especially urgently. It?s not what you?d call sporty, but it?s competent, and more refined than you might expect. The ride is comfort-focused, soaking up bumps reasonably well, though the tall stance means handling remains firmly in the safe and steady category. Where the Crossland Ultimate really earns its name is in equipment. Heated front seats and steering wheel, IntelliLux LED matrix headlights, a panoramic rear-view camera, built-in navigation, and a head-up display all come standard, generous kit for a car in this class. The cabin itself is spacious, especially in the rear, and the boot is impressively practical with a sliding rear bench. It may not thrill the enthusiast, but for families or urban drivers looking for maximum value, versatility, and a touch of premium polish, the Crossland Ultimate quietly makes a strong case for itself.
