Used Vauxhall Grandland Bonnet Strut

The Vauxhall Grandland uses gas-charged bonnet struts (also called bonnet props or bonnet supports) rather than a manual stay bar, so yes, bonnet struts are the correct part to search for. There are two struts, one on each side of the bonnet, and both can be replaced individually or as a pair. If your bonnet no longer stays up on its own, one or both struts are likely the cause.

The Grandland received a significant facelift in 2021, which brought changes to the front-end including a new bonnet profile, so the struts from a pre-facelift car may not be the same as those on a post-facelift car. You should confirm with the breaker whether the strut from the specific year they have matches your registration before purchasing. Quoting your reg plate to the breaker is the safest way to ensure compatibility across that 2021 boundary.

Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the Grandland - the struts are the same across SE, Sport, Elite, and Ultimate variants within the same generation. The bonnet and its supporting hardware are shared regardless of how the car is spec'd inside or out. Just focus on the model year and generation rather than the trim badge when sourcing a used strut.

Vauxhall dropped the 'X' suffix from the Grandland name from around 2021 when the facelift was introduced, but the underlying platform and front-end changed at the same time, so the name change and the facelift broadly coincide. This means 'Grandland X' effectively refers to the pre-facelift generation (2017-2021), and the plain 'Grandland' to the post-facelift car. Whether a strut crosses that boundary should be confirmed with the breaker against your registration, as the bonnet design changed at the same point.

No - whether your Grandland has a petrol, diesel, or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engine makes no difference to bonnet strut fitment. The struts are a front-end body component and are the same across all engine variants within the same generation. Just make sure the year of the donor car matches your generation rather than worrying about what engine it had.

Give the breaker your full registration plate so they can verify the exact model year and specification against their salvage vehicle - this is the most reliable way to confirm fitment. The key things that matter are the generation and whether the car is pre or post the 2021 facelift; trim level and engine type are not relevant. Buying a matched pair from the same donor car is worth considering if both struts are worn, as it ensures they are from the same generation.
