Most facelifts are so mild it’s very difficult to tell if anything on the car has been changed at all. Usually it will be limited to a new grille, front bumper and headlamps, plus at the back of the car revised tail lamps.
Doing much more than that costs a fortune. The goal is to have something new to shout about, to keep the car alive in customers’ minds, but to not spend too much of the cash that you’d rather be putting into the totally new model that’s on its way in a couple of years.
The changes to the Vauxhall Grandland are similarly small but they are significant. Almost to the extent that the facelift has changed my whole perception of the car. Almost.
