BUYERS of the newly updated Vauxhall Grandland SUV can save more than £6,000 on the list price of one version compared to the car it replaces.

That price cut applies to the least expensive version of the new Grandland PHEV - plug in hybrid electric vehicle - which costs from £34,365 and offers up to an official 192mpg and 34 miles of driving on its rechargeable battery before the petrol engine is needed.

This latest Grandland is available in SE, SRi, Elite and Ultimate trim levels and is the latest model to feature Vauxhall's distinctive Vizor front end. First deliveries are due later this year.

Vauxhall's flagship SUV - with prices of non-hybrid petrol and diesel models starting at £25,500 - also introduces several new technologies and assistance systems that until now, have been reserved for more expensive segments of the market, says its maker.

These include Adaptive IntelliLux LED pixel headlights, whose 168 LED elements - 84 per headlamp, as seen on the new Insignia - result in a seamless and intelligent adaptation of the light beam according to the driving conditions and surroundings, without dazzling oncoming traffic.

New Grandland models are also available with night vision technology, a first for Vauxhall, with the system capable of detecting pedestrians and animals in darkness at a distance of up to 100m and alerting the driver.

Ahead of the driver is a display up to 12 inches in size, offering up essential information to the driver with minimal distraction, while the central 10-inch display controls all infotainment via a touchscreen. All models come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for full smartphone connectivity.

Leading the powertrain line-up is the plug-in hybrid offering up to 192mpg and an electric driving range of up to 34 miles from its 1.6-litre petrol engine and electric motor, which deliver a combined 222bhp.
