Vauxhall Grandland X Rear Tailgate Replacement Parts

The Grandland X ran as a single generation from 2017, with a facelift arriving in 2019 that brought changes to the rear light clusters and surrounding panels; a pre-facelift tailgate (2017–2018) and a post-facelift tailgate (2019 onwards) are therefore likely to be different pressings. You should confirm with the breaker whether the donor tailgate is pre- or post-facelift and match it to your own car's registration before buying. Never assume a tailgate from across that 2019 boundary will drop straight in.

The Grandland X was sold as an Opel in mainland Europe on the same platform, so the basic structure is shared, but whether the pressed panels and glass apertures are identical between the Vauxhall and Opel versions is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration. Panel differences between same-platform variants sold under different names are one area where we can't state fitment as fact. Always give the breaker both the donor vehicle's details and your own reg before proceeding.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Grandland X — the same tailgate pressing is used across SE, SE Nav, Sport Nav, Elite, Elite Nav, and Ultimate grades. What can differ is the finish: higher trims may have a rear badge, a different spoiler, or pre-drilled holes for a rear camera, so you may need to swap those items across or source a tailgate that already has the right cut-outs. Ask the breaker to note any extras on the donor tailgate so you know what minor work to expect.

The Grandland X, Peugeot 3008, and DS 7 Crossback do share the PSA EMP2 platform, but body panels including the tailgate are model-specific and will not interchange between them. Only source a tailgate that came from another Grandland X, not from a platform sibling. Your breaker will confirm this, but it is safe to say these are entirely different pressings.

Yes, engine choice has no bearing on tailgate fitment for the Grandland X — whether your car is a 1.2 petrol, 1.6 petrol, 1.5 diesel, or the plug-in hybrid PHEV variant, the tailgate itself is determined by the body style and model year, not what's under the bonnet. What you do need to check is whether the donor tailgate is pre- or post-facelift (the facelift arrived in 2019) to make sure it matches your car. Give the breaker your registration and they can cross-reference the correct pressing.

A same-generation, same-facelift Grandland X tailgate should align correctly regardless of the donor car's colour, as colour is purely cosmetic and does not affect the pressing or hinges. You will need to either have the tailgate resprayed to match your car or, if you are repairing an insurance job, your bodyshop can factor that in. Confirm the year and facelift phase of the donor vehicle with the breaker before purchasing to make sure you are not crossing a model boundary.
