Summary

The Vauxhall Crossland was the smallest SUV/crossover in the Vauxhall family. It was launched in early 2017 as the Crossland X, and a major facelift in early 2021 saw the ‘X’ dropped from the name. It was discontinued in 2024 and replaced by the new Vauxhall Frontera.

The Crossland was the first model in the Vauxhall range to share most of its underpinnings with similar vehicles from the French-owned PSA Group that purchased Vauxhall and Opel from General Motors, and was subsequently integrated into the vast Stellantis group. In this case, the Crossland is based on the same platform as the Peugeot 2008 and Citroën C3 Aircross.

The Vauxhall Crossland (both with and without the X) received generally low review scores from the UK motoring media, although things did improve slightly for the updated Crossland. It received praise for being practical and good value for money, but was criticised for being unrefined and disappointing to drive.

As of June 2025, the Vauxhall Crossland has an overall Used Car Expert Rating of C, with a score of 63%. It scores top marks for its low CO2 emissions and running costs, but its safety rating has now expired and media review scores were generally poor.

Notes on safety rating

The Vauxhall Crossland (then known as the Crossland X) was crash tested by Euro NCAP back in 2017 and awarded a five-star rating. However, this rating expired in January 2024 and is no longer valid as the car no longer meets the standards required for such a rating. This is normal practice, as Euro NCAP reviews its ratings on most cars annually with most ratings expiring after about six or seven years.

However, if you are comparing a used Crossland (or Crossland X) to vehicles of similar age, whose ratings will have probably also expired, its safety rating score is still useful.

Eco rating

No eco rating

The Vauxhall Crossland was not assessed by Green NCAP during its production life.

Reliability rating

Reliability data provided exclusively for The Car Expert by MotorEasy

All data based on MotorEasy average workshop costs for extended car warranty claims

As of June 2025, the Vauxhall Crossland has a middling overall reliability score, according to workshop and extended warranty data provided by our partner, MotorEasy.

The average repair costs are very high for a car of this class, at more than £1,200. However, we only have a relatively small sample of cars to date, so this could change over time.

The Vauxhall Crossland is a relatively affordable small SUV to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

Fuel consumption is only average for the petrol models, which is disappointing compared to most of its main rivals. The diesel models are no longer available new, but produce much better economy.

The good news is that servicing and insurance costs are exemplary, which will be a relief when these bills roll around each year.
