I think the cap will be removed soon otherwise we won`t even have a Grandland Hybrid on the scheme.
Prices for plug-in hybrid Vauxhall Grandland X Hybrid announced, with cars due in showrooms in early 2020
Last Updated: 02 Aug 2019 tweet
shareThe new Vauxhall Grandland X Hybrid4 – the company’s first plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) – will be priced from £35,590 when it arrives in showrooms early next year.
Four trim levels will be available: entry-level Business Edition Nav Premium, SRi Nav (£40,300), Elite Nav (£42,200) and Ultimate Nav (£45,450).
Featuring a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine producing 197bhp and two electric motors adding 109bhp, the total system output is 296bhp. As such, 0-62mph should take seven seconds.
With a motor each on the Hybrid4’s front and rear axles, four-wheel drive is available on demand. Officially it emits 36g/km of CO2 – good news for company-car drivers and those wishing to avoid the London Congestion Charge – while fuel economy is rated at 176.5mpg.
AdvertisementOf course, owners will only get remotely close to this figure by maximising their use of the 13.2kWh battery, which returns 32 miles of electric-only, zero-emissions range on full charge.
There’s a standard 3.3kW on-board charger, which can be upgraded to 6.6kW at extra cost should a customer want faster charging. Using a 7.4kW home wallbox, Vauxhall says the battery can be topped up in under two hours.
Four driving modes will be offered: electric, hybrid, AWD (all-wheel drive) and Sport. Electric is the zero-emissions setting, while hybrid applies the most efficient mix of electric and engine power for everyday driving.
AWD gives permanent four-wheel drive for tackling rough terrain, and Sport frees up maximum performance at the cost of some efficiency.
The front electric motor is connected to an electrified eight-speed automatic gearbox, while the one at the rear incorporates a differential, allowing for four-wheel-drive traction when needed. Regenerative braking is also employed to feed energy back into the battery when slowing down.
In addition, buyers will get access to Vauxhall’s Free2Move service, comprising 85,000 charging points across Europe. Locations are programmed in to the car’s sat-nav, which has a journey planner function for calculating the most efficient route.
Key rivals for the Grandland X Hybrid4 include the big-selling Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, as well as the Kia Niro PHEV, MINI Countryman Cooper S E All4 and new Ford Kuga plug-in hybrid.
Also, the forthcoming Citroen C5 Aircross PHEV, Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 and DS 7 Crossback E-Tense plug-ins use the same technical underpinnings as the Vauxhall.
Aside from the plug-in hybrid Grandland X, Vauxhall is also preparing a range of fully electric models, including the Corsa-e hatchback, Mokka X SUV, Vivaro van and Vivaro Life MPV.

Brydo only problem I can see is the Hybrid 225 bhp limit?
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
Oscarmax something has to change if we can’t get a Vauxhall grand land on the scheme we have real problems.

I agree motability have to get with the times and understand engines are changing / electric most of the time will have more BHP
Don’t get too frustrated and dis Motability you will get banned by a “tired and emotional” admin @brydo
If that’s the price from Vauxhall, how much will the new hybrid vw’s and bmw’s cost?
Id say nearer £50k or the lowest spec.
If the cap stays we have no chance.
Lets hope motability can do a deal and they get offered to us.
Lol
Loki I’m neither tired or emotional, although I do get Tired of the same old dribble of people hiding behind their keypads and I must admit at times I do feel Emotional not for myself but for those that have nothing better to do than to try a cause upset for all those kind genuine posters out there. There are many single words that better discribe things but PITY is my present Emotional state but then I might just be tired.
“Tired and Emotional” is media code for drunk or alcoholic,it is far more cutting than it looks.
What I can’t understand with this price, is the Volvo XC40 hybrid is ONLY £41,000ish. How can they justify it?

Loki the trickster god …. you obviously have a high opinion of yourself but it’s not shared by the rest of us.
Let me tell you what you really are Loki …. you’re a sad little trouble maker who has been banned previously by this forum for the same obnoxious behaviour under different user names.
We are not going to alter the ease with which we allow guests as well as registered members to post just to deal with you, but be assured that each time you reappear we will ban you and point out to our many decent posters what an idiot you are.
Why don’t you find a site for immature keyboard warriors and play your silly little games with like minded losers.
Is that clear enough for you Loki.
I agree motability have to get with the times and understand engines are changing / electric most of the time will have more BHP
I totally agree

Silly to ban people then if you can’t really ban them. Expect more and yes I probably did break the site but not as you think. Admin uping security in an “attempt” to stop me will have done it whilst “tired and emotional”.
Ouch! guess you just told him that mods can not delete only ban.Just come of the phone with a long time user of this site and he has filled me in. You banned a user with mental health problems, a disability, where he told you he fixates on things and you thought he would just go away?

I am becoming confused with this post, I have found the moderators excellent they even went to the trouble of a signature at the end of my posts, I do not think the decision to ban Loki was taken lightly, if Loki needed some help they should ask, this is a safe forum for some us, I for one would last more than 30 seconds on sites like facebook with all its trolls.

Forum Notice
All Moderators have full access to the Forum’s functions and where necessary many tools are at their disposal, should a deletion or a ban be required and where necessary implemented, should further action be needed then as administrators of an open Forum that have a duty of care to its users should it be required we can also contact individual service providers “ThreeMobile” as an example and have them act accordingly. Should an issue continue then laws are in place and will be used if necessary by the Site owner.
Using different names and ghost servers still carries a digital footprint , no need to go to Barcelona or California. From London to Liverpool it’s just a knock on the door in the waiting.
Continued abuse of the Forum will not be tolerated and appropriate action taken where needed.
I’d be interested to see what other cars start to appear on the scheme if the bhp limit was increased to allow a car with 300bhp
I would like see the option of 4 and 5 year leases to bring some of these car within the budgets of those with limited financial resources, maybe in the form of a lower upfront AP, after all Mobility do have the financial resources ?
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
It was confirmed to me by Motability that Hybrids are classed as electric so at present have an 225hp cap compared to 200hp normal. I can’t see this changing in the near future for insurance reasons, but the Cap has to change surely
Why on Earth are people calling the mods this is a free forum and saved me £500 on my VW Golf 16 months ago the advice on here is so helpful and we get on like a big family ! Anyone calling this forum should be banned by the mods imho
Phil BMW already have a full electric and hybrid on the scheme, neither of which is anywhere near £50,000. The AP’s aren’t horrendous either, especially considering the 2 series is the TOP spec.
That same powertrain is going into Citroen’s and Peugeot’s as well no doubt putting them out of range with such power levels.

Saints man I’m talking about a larger vehicle that could fit a small electric chair or scooter in the boot, the cars bmw have on the scheme are not as big as something like a vw Tiguan or a rav 4 or the grandland
I was looking today, 2 series 225xe xdrive phev.
Nope, you didn’t say that’s what you were writing (not talking) about.
The active tourer can take a small scooter or one of the smaller electric wheelchairs. My pride select 6,which is a good size fits in one sideways.
