Opel Grandland II (2021–2025) (2021 – 2025)

Reliability score : 7.2/10

The second-generation Grandland, often called Grandland II or Grandland Facelift (as it is a major redesign of the Grandland X), was launched in 2021. It marks a major stylistic evolution with the adoption of Opel's 'Vizor' grille, aligning its design with the Mokka and Crossland. Based on Stellantis' (formerly PSA) EMP2 platform, it shares its technical underpinnings with models like the Peugeot 3008 and Citroën C5 Aircross. Positioned in the highly competitive compact SUV segment, it aims to offer a compromise between comfort, space, and modern technologies. Overall reliability is average for the segment, with specific points of attention for Stellantis engines.

✅ Strengths

⚠️ Weaknesses

🎯 Verdict

The Grandland II is a compact SUV that offers a good compromise for families and frequent drivers. Its modern design and comfort are undeniable assets. For a confident purchase, the choice of engine is crucial. The 1.5 BlueHDi 130 is an excellent choice for high-mileage drivers thanks to its fuel efficiency and torque, provided that vigilance is maintained regarding the AdBlue system's maintenance, which remains its major weakness. The 1.2 PureTech 130 is suitable for more versatile use but requires rigorous monitoring of the timing belt. The PHEV versions are interesting for those who can charge regularly and maximize electric use, but their technical complexity and the potential cost of battery replacement must be considered. Overall, the Grandland II is a vehicle to NEGOTIATE to ensure that known issues have been addressed or to anticipate specific maintenance costs. A clear service history is non-negotiable.
