If you’ve been thinking about making the jump to electric but still want a proper family-sized SUV, this Vauxhall Grandland GS EV is well worth a look at Stellantis &You Vauxhall Croydon. The GS comes loaded with the technology you actually want. You get built-in navigation, a large 16-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging and a digital driver's display, so your maps, music and phone are all sorted without turning the centre console into a nest of charging cables. Parking is considerably less dramatic thanks to the rear-view camera and front & rear parking sensors. No more reversing into a space while your passenger gives increasingly complicated hand signals that somehow make things worse. For the daily drive, you've also got lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, automatic emergency braking, traffic-sign recognition and intelligent speed adaptation. Basically, plenty of clever technology quietly keeping an eye on things while you concentrate on getting where you're going. And then there’s the obvious bit: it’s electric. No petrol engine grumbling away every time you head into town, just smooth, quiet electric driving. The Grandland Electric is available with substantial driving range depending on the battery and version, making it a genuine everyday SUV rather than something you have to plan your entire life around. So you've got the space of a proper SUV, the technology of something considerably more expensive and the running benefits of going electric.
