Hello all,

Ordered a new Grandland Elite 71Reg middle of September, we have been given an estimated date of arrive any time between dec-feb.

Anyone here maybe know the current factory lead time on the new models? All I’m seeing is an old post about week 49 2021 but I can’t see that being the case.

All the best,
H

Hello Naazro and Welcome to the forum.

I would think your best contact would be the dealership due to ongoing chip shortages and other issues it may be delayed further. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
What made you decide to change your current Grandland x to the NEW Grandland? What colour have you gone for this time?

Thanks for the reply!

So reason for changing is really down to the price we pay, the current car we pay almost £400 for it monthly, we get this new one for less then £300 monthly. We are expecting our first child in November and any money we can save is a bonus. We have chosen White for the colour of the new car ( Constant cleaning will be needed!!!!)

Ouch ok that's quiet a lot a month and it makes sense if you can save and get something newer. Congratulations as well. As you say you will be cleaning it regularly.

Could be a long wait for your next Grandland.

I have always found white an easy colour to keep clean much, much easier than black, shows dirt but not water marks so you may find it ends up being an easier clean :D Congrats on the new car and a great deal!!

Ordered GL Hybrid Elite Aug 15th 2021, was told November\December delivery date, had this through on 16th October:

Just thought I’d send over an update on the new Grandland you have on order. Your new Grandland is the new 2022A model, one of the features of the trim is that they’re going to be manufactured at a new plant. To facilitate this, Vauxhall, who work on an Event system are currently taking all of the sold orders, regardless of what state they are in production (not manufactured as they’ve not made new models to date) and are reprogramming them to the new production cycle. This means that orders that have moved forward in Event, will now go back to pre-production prior to being allocated a new production slot where they will be able to move forward. With Vauxhall currently prioritising sold retail orders over stock & fleet, we expect this to be a swift process. Unfortunately while this is going through its natural course, we aren’t yet able to give an accurate update on your vehicle until Vauxhall advise accordingly, however we will continue to send updates via text on the vehicles production status and this email is just to let you know not to be alarmed that the vehicle has not got an ETA as explained.

Latest Update:

We are sorry to learn of your new Vauxhall Grandland delivery delay, which we escalated to Vauxhall Production who provided the revised delivery date as week commencing Monday 25th April 2022 and will be the new Grandland Hybrid model.

We are endeavouring to provide Aston Melton Mowbray with the most up to date information we have on the revised lead-time for your vehicle, to enable them to keep you properly informed.

I can confirm we remain in contact with the retailer and Vauxhall Production and will continue to chase the production of your vehicle and will update you in a months’ time, but no later than close of business on Thursday 27th January 2022.

However, we appreciate this will be disappointing and fully understand the impact the delay has had on you. As a gesture of good will, should you wish to keep the order, and once your new vehicle arrives, we would like to offer two free of charge service vouchers as an apology for the delay and should you choose to accept our offer, please reply to our email and I shall respond accordingly.

I will await your further correspondence.

I went to buy a new Grandland X last July, then literally Vauxhall changed the design, so I held back.

The new details were very vague to say the least and still are. I was told the launch would be for Sept 1st, but we're still waiting five months later, what's going on?

I've now given up and looking at the Qashqai instead. It may be a little more expensive, but has tons more features and Vauxhall seemed to drop off many of the features that were on the Ultimate, which is now very poor. There is no panoramic roof for example. Very bad.

Vauxhall, you've now lost a loyal customer, due to your delays and cut backs. Nissan, here I come!

Hi guys,

Was at dealership for first service on my Mokka and couple of the sales guys said they are getting delayed emails for grandlands nearly every other day.

Has anyone been confirmed a definite date?

Thanks
