Vauxhall has announced revised pricing on New Grandland Electric, with savings of up to £4,700. Design and GS models are both now priced under £40,000, resulting in significant VED, or ‘road tax’, savings.
Prices for New Grandland Electric now start from £37,345 in Design trim, representing a saving of £3,650. GS is priced at £38,495 (saving £4,650), while Ultimate trim sees the largest reduction of £4,700 with a new OTR price of £40,495. As a result, both Design and GS trim are now below the £40,000 threshold for the additional ‘expensive car supplement’ rate of VED, which is currently an extra £410 from the second year of ownership. On top of the lower On The Road (OTR) price, this means customers save £1,640 in VED over four years, equivalent to approximately £40 per month.
The revised pricing also means that the gap between Hybrid and Electric is narrowed – with the expected best-selling GS trim attracting a price walk of just £1,845 between GS Hybrid and GS Electric. In addition, there are the potential ownership cost savings from charging at cheap off-peak energy rates versus petrol costs.
New Grandland Electric sits at the top of Vauxhall’s fully refreshed SUV line-up and is the first Vauxhall based on the STLA Medium platform. It features a 73kWh (net) battery, a 213hp motor with 345Nm of torque and energy-saving features such as a standard-fit heat pump, enabling a range of up to 325 miles (WLTP) on a single charge. Thanks to 160kW rapid charging capability, a 20-80% charge takes just 26 minutes. A heat pump that improves efficiency in cold weather conditions is standard across all versions – and is often a chargeable option on rival vehicles.
Plug & Go offer
Like all Vauxhall electric vehicles, New Grandland Electric also benefits from the brand’s Plug & Go offer, powered by Free2move Charge, which includes access to a variety of charging solutions to help make electric mobility even easier.
To simplify home charging, Vauxhall is offering a £500 contribution towards an Octopus Energy Ohme Pro wallbox and installation for customers who buy online. Thanks to Vauxhall’s partnership with Tesco, customers also have the option to choose £500 free charging credit at stores across the country, in lieu of the wallbox contribution. On top of this, retail customers can collect 50,000 Tesco Clubcard points (worth £500) when they purchase a new car through a participating Vauxhall retailer.
To make public charging easier, all new Vauxhall electric vehicle customers receive an Octopus Electroverse card, giving access to more than 850,000 public chargers across the UK and Europe. In lieu of the wallbox contribution or £500 towards charging at Tesco stores, customers can choose a £500 credit with Octopus Electroverse through Plug & Go.
For added peace of mind, Plug & Go includes a battery warranty for eight years/100,000 miles and three years of roadside assistance as standard.
