Vauxhall Crossland 1.2 Turbo SE 5dr Review

The model
Read full reviewThe Vauxhall Crossland is a creditable car in some respects, offering good equipment levels, excellent seating flexibility on select trims and a sizeable boot, but the competition has, in the main caught up, run it into the kerb and driven off into the sunset. The worst thing is that you have to pay extra for safety kit that should be standard these days, but it's also mediocre to drive and the rear seats are cramped. If you can get a fantastic deal that makes it much cheaper than anything else then fine, we respect why you would. Otherwise, stick to the Ford Puma, the Skoda Kamiq or the Volkswagen T-Roc – to name but a few of the better alternatives – instead.

See full equipmentAvoid SE trim because of its lack of safety equipment mentioned above. It does come reasonably equipped otherwise, with air-conditioning, 16in alloy wheels, auto lights and wipers, an automatically-dimming rear-view mirror, cruise control, LED headlights, a 7.0in touchscreen, six speakers, a DAB radio, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto and a leather-trimmed steering wheel.
The engine
See full engine specsWith a healthy 109bhp it revs willingly and feels punchy enough to be the engine of choice. 0-62mph takes 10.5sec – quicker than the Skoda Kamiq 1.0 TSI 95 – and it's pretty efficient, too.
