Long journey? You’ll arrive in great shape. Driver and front passenger seats in GS trims feature a central channel that reduces lower back pressure. GS seats are AGR-certified and 10-way manually adjustable. They also come with cushion extension, 4-way adjustable headrests and pneumatic lumbar adjustment. Our seats are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.

Interior ambient lighting makes the cabin an even more welcoming place to be – and beautifully echoes the edge light technology that defines the exterior. Elements like the Pixel Box (protecting your phone while it charges), dash and sunroof are brilliantly outlined and emphasised. Choose from 8 available light tones. Ambient lighting is a standard feature on the Grandland GS.

It’s not just one of the largest trunks in its class, it’s also one of the most flexible cargo spaces too. Without tumbling any seats, you have a huge 550 litre space, including an adjustable load floor. Tumble the second row forward and that space is tripled to 1.645 litres. The 40:20:40 rear seat arrangement allows you to configure the space to match whatever or whomever you’re transporting.

These lights – standard on the GS trim – will totally change the way you think about night-time driving. The lights contain 50.000 individual pixels that work together to give you pin-point-precise, super-bright illumination of the road far ahead – regardless of on-coming traffic. It’s as if night turns to day. There’s no need to dip your beam, your lights don’t dazzle other road users and you get more time to react to dangerous situations

The Active Cruise Control that you can see working in this video is standard on Grandland GS – as are many more useful driving aids. And Intelli-Vision 360º – really useful in a car of this size – which provides real time images from four separate cameras, so you can see what’s behind and to the side of you.

German engineering is very much in evidence. Your commands – braking, accelerating, steering – are all met with a delightfully engaging response. Go electric and you’ll feel even more ride comfort at lower speeds and enhanced stability at higher speeds thanks to Frequential Selective Damping – the best of both worlds between comfort and dynamism.
