ENGINES AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE VAUXHALL GRANDLAND
The contract hire Vauxhall Grandland comes with a choice of diesel, petrol or plug-in hybrid powertrains. All of them are good performers but the hybrid is certainly worth a closer look.
That's because it will return fuel economy of 192mpg and has an all-electric driving range of 34 miles. That makes it a sound choice for commuting purposes.
The hybrid’s responsive 1.6-litre petrol engine with the electric motor delivers 225 PS. The emissions are just 31g/km and the car is eligible for a Benefit-in-Kind rate of 11% - making it ideal for businesses and fleet users.
Alternatively, there's a turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 130 PS, or a turbocharged 1.5-litre diesel unit that also produces 130 PS and is mated to a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The petrol units have a choice of the automatic, or a six-speed gearbox.

EQUIPMENT AND HANDLING FOR THE VAUXHALL GRANDLAND
There's a lot to like about the Vauxhall Grandland SUV lease; it's a stylish and well-equipped offering and it's a nice car to drive around town.
It's also a very good motorway cruiser too, with the diesel engine delivering a rewarding drive.
The petrol engines are impressive in busy traffic. However, the plug-in hybrid Grandland is excellent, especially in all-electric mode and will meet most needs - trips to fuel stations will be few and far between.
Standard equipment for the contract hire Grandland includes 17-inch alloys, a seven-inch colour display, front parking sensors, an electric parking brake and automatic lights and wipers. Drivers also get Bluetooth connectivity, electric folding mirrors and DAB radio. Opt for the sporty SRi Grandland and drivers get the 12-inch 'Pure Panel' driver display which is impressive and includes a 10-inch central display.
There's also a 180° rear camera, wheel arch cladding, roof rails, skid plates, a colour-coded roof, bumper inserts and tinted windows. The Elite Grandland adds 19-inch alloys, LED matrix front lights, advanced parking assist, wireless phone charging, keyless entry and keyless entry.
There's also a powered tailgate and for those drivers who are racking up lots of miles, Vauxhall has added advanced ergonomic seats which are very comfortable. The Ultimate Grandland adds a 360° camera and Alcantara upholstery. The Vauxhall Grandland lease offers a stylish and well-equipped offering that is nice to drive, the stance is composed and there's little body lean on winding country roads.
The responsive engines underpin the agile offering and are particularly good at speed on motorways for overtaking. The quiet driving when using the electric motor in the hybrid will impress.
Essentially, the contract hire Vauxhall Grandland is an impressive offering in a competitive segment but with more equipment, better handling and higher comfort levels in the cabin than most rivals - this is a lease car that is easy to live with.
