Plans for the Grandland X were known as early as May 2012, before PSA Peugeot Citroën officially indicated in December of that year that it would build the eventual replacement for the Zafira.[4]
The Grandland X was officially revealed on 18 April 2017 as Opel's flagship crossover SUV and premiered at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.[5] Opel started taking orders for the Grandland X in June 2017 and more than 100,000 orders were made by September 2018.[6] [7]
The Grandland I is based on the PSA EMP2 platform which is shared with related models which include the Peugeot 3008 II, Peugeot 5008 II, DS 7 Crossback and Citroën C5 Aircross.[8] However, its design intellectual property was registered by General Motors as the vehicle was developed under its ownership.
In June 2021, the Grandland X received a facelift and was renamed to just Grandland, dropping the 'X' suffix. Changes includes the adoption of Opel's 'Vizor' front fascia (debut on the Mokka), new matrix LED lighting technology, a revamped interior with a new dual-touchscreen layout, new gear selector for the automatic transmission, and added safety features.[9]

The second generation Grandland was officially revealed on 22 April 2024 and is the third vehicle to based on the Stellantis' STLA Medium platform.[10] [11]
The Grandland borrows design elements from the Experimental concept car. There are a 3D Visor front fascia with an illuminated logo, Intelli-Lux Pixel HD lighting system, an option of a dual-tone exterior colour and illuminated brand's lettering in centre on the full-width taillights (a first on an Opel/Vauxhall production model).
The interior uses 100% recyclable materials for the fabric and upholstery. There is a 16inches central touchscreen, a small fully digital instrument cluster, an Intelli-HUD head-up display, Intelli-Seat feature in the front seats certified by "Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V." and a Pure Mode which reduces content on the three displays to eliminate distractions in certain driving conditions.
The Grandland has over 35L of interior storage spaces. The main highlights are the Pixel Box which has an illuminated translucent glass surface surrounding the fabric upholstery, with a wireless smartphone charger slot behind the glass piece.
It will be offered with mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicle powertrains.
