£15k 2020 Grandland X PHEV (300bhp)

[roca1976]

Anyone any experience, looks bit of a bargain and can be put on a £160 PCP with 3k deposit.
Battery range looks ideal to do majority of commute and 0-60 in 6 seconds should sort out the traffic grandprix dash...
Heated seats, screen and 4wd looks like winter is sorted.
Am I missing something?

They sold the square root of duck all thanks to absurd list prices being over 40k, so you'll pay the tax excess on it.

No VX dealer understands them as they never see them, they're flimsy as a disposable picnic cup, seriously, wiggle the inner door handle, the whole door panel moves about and squeaks.

If you get a fault, I would not fancy your chances of a quick resolution.

Thanks the showroom tax definitely rules that out followed closely by the vauxhall aftercare on complex hybrid systems!

I saw one advertised at Aston melton Mowbray , I was suprised when I saw 300 bhp , wasn’t there very long at all .

Does it rule it out? Buy a 2020 reg example and you only have the extra VED to pay for 2 years.

In case it is any use: I bought the Peugeot equivalent, 2021 3008 hybrid4. The tax is a pain, but spread over the life of the car not that much.
Battery range is good, though drops off in winter, or if you drive like I seem to. Overall, for its weight it handles well, acceleration is really good - probably as fast in more conditions than my 350z.
4wd doesn't help much as far as I've seen with snow and ice. All season or winter tyres do. It's been fine on farm tracks and muddy fields though.
Interior might be different on the Vauxhall, but the Peugeot seems well put together.
