Vauxhall Crossland (2017-2024) - Reliability and safety

Just so you know, this is an older review of the 2017-2024 Vauxhall Crossland. If you are interested in information about a used Vauxhall Crossland X, or news about the latest Vauxhall models, please follow the links provided.

​The (pre-name change) Crossland X was crash-tested by Euro NCAP in 2017 and received a full five-star rating, achieving 85 per cent and 84 per cent for adult and child safety, respectively. However, that rating has since expired due to the test having become much more stringent. That’s not to say the Crossland wouldn’t protect you in a crash, but there are newer rivals that might protect you even better.

Reliability shouldn’t be too concerning because the Crossland uses plenty of tried and tested parts. This particular small Vauxhall SUV didn't feature in our 2023 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey, but its Mokka sibling saw a 75th place finish out of 75 cars in the best cars to own rankings. Vauxhall, as a manufacturer, slipped down the best brands poll, falling from 19th position in 2022 to 24th in 2023. However, Vauxhall did still rank above rival brands Volkswagen and Ford.

Warranty

Vauxhall used to offer a lifetime warranty on its cars, limited to the first owner. However, the brand has since scrapped this plan because the way in which many people buy cars has seen customers change models much more frequently. As a result, all Crossland models come with a standardised three-year/60,000-mile warranty. Owners can extend this for an additional fee.

Servicing

All Vauxhall Crossland models are subject to annual or 12,500-mile service intervals, whichever comes soonest. The brand offers servicing plans with fixed monthly costs, including two years of roadside assistance cover and your first MOT free.
