The Grandland X is Vauxhall?s rival for mid-size family SUVs like the Seat Ateca, Ford Kuga and Kia Sportage. With good space and practicality, generous equipment and reasonable running costs, it makes a very decent family car. Every model comes with six airbags and a lane departure warning system. We think it?s worth stepping up from the basic SE model, as all other models come with a Safety Pack that includes a system to detect driver drowsiness, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking and a lane assist system, as well as a blind spot assist system. On top of the good room in the front, you also get a very decent amount of space in the rear seats, as well as nice, square doors that make it easy to get in and out. With a flat floor and relatively flat rear seat, you could get three people across the back seat easily enough, and the Isofix mounts are easy to get to for anyone fitting a child seat. That alone makes it a very capable family car. The boot is very practical, too. It?s a nice, square shape, and full of handy hooks and so on to help hold luggage. It?s not quite as big as you?ll find in a Peugeot 3008, but it?s on a par with the Seat Ateca and much better than in a Nissan Qashqai.
