A premium six-speaker audio system (with a sub-woofer) and wireless phone charging are additional options. Combining its relatively small and efficient engines with readily available parts and reasonable insurance, the Crossland X speaks to a vast array of drivers looking to minimise everyday and long-term costs.

Both the 120PS (88kW) diesel and 130PS (96kW) petrol models get a six speed manual gearbox; the other engines come with five speed manuals. A six speed automatic is available, in conjunction with the 130PS (96kW) engine. The LPG model is based on the entry level naturally aspirated petrol engine. When operating on LPG, it has a maximum power output of 75PS (55kW).

What’s it like inside?

Vauxhall’s OnStar — billed as ‘your personal onboard assistant’ — and 4G wi-fi hotspot features are big draws for both the Astra and the Insignia, but although it may sound the same, what you get in the Crossland X isn’t quite equivalent. The SE is the entry-level trim for the Crossland X. Inside, you'll find Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment display for full smartphone functionality. Cruise control takes the strain out of long drives, while automatic wipers and lights support you in rough weather and low-light driving. There are also LED daytime running lights. Upgrading to the SE Nav trim adds a larger 8-inch display, sat nav and voice control. With an NCAP rating of 5 stars, you can be assured that you, your family and your friends are kept safe with extensive safety technology. In 2017, the Euro NCAP awarded the Crossland X an 85% adult occupancy score and 84% for child occupants. Keeping you safe, as standard, are six airbags, cruise control with a speed limiter, lane-departure warnings, fatigue detection systems and traffic sign recognition and displays. They’re designed to make sure even the safest and most experienced drivers are never caught off guard. No, says Vauxhall, but on paper the space between the Mokka X and Crossland X appears very slender indeed. The Crossland X is the smaller of the two, but it is the shorter by only 63mm.

was when the Crossland X—Vauxhall's newest family SUV— hit the road. The Crossland X is an impressive model, even in the lowest trims. With reasonable starting prices, a used Vauxhall Crossland X is an attractive choice if you're looking for lots of technical features, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard across all trims.Elite adds dual-zone climate control, ambient interior lighting, driver’s centre armrest, Flex Floor adjustable-height boot floor, 16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, an alarm and tinted rear windows. Because it’s a three-cylinder unit, the motor also revs quite sweetly and likes to be worked hard. But the throttle response is sufficiently soft at low and middling revs as to make the car feel like it’s surging off in a quite unpredictable fashion at times – at least until you get used to waiting for a second or so after any given pedal application before the engine’s response is fully delivered. At the front, it’s suspended by MacPherson struts, with a torsion beam at the rear. Petrol engines are three-cylinder 1.2-litre turbo units, badged Ecotec but fundamentally the same as PSA’s units. They can be had in 80bhp, 108bhp and 128bhp guises, mated to five-speed (80bhp) or six-speed manual gearboxes, with an automatic optional.
