The Crossland should perform well when it comes to costs. It’s priced competitively against rivals like the Renault Captur, Nissan Juke and Seat Arona, and although Vauxhall’s models sometimes struggle a wee bit with resale values, the Crossland’s look OK, so you shouldn’t lose out long-term, either. Fuel economy and CO2 emissions are also very competitive, so fuel costs and tax bills shouldn’t be a worry, and rates for servicing, maintenance and repairs are also among the lowest in the class. That all adds up to a reasonably compelling financial argument.
