Meet the Fishers – mum Jo, dad Kris, Millie (aged 9) and Eva (aged 5). They love the great outdoors, spending as much time as they can exploring the woods and beaches near their home on the Yorkshire coast. But the one thing they’ve never done – and have always wanted to do – is go wild camping.
That’s why we gave the Fishers a Vauxhall Crossland X for the weekend, asking them to fill its spacious luggage bay to the brim with all they needed for rockpooling, games on the beach and nights under the stars. Find out how they got on.

Style and features that stand out
The Vauxhall Crossland X’s sleek muscular design – with a choice of bold metallic paints and roof colour combinations, as well as LED daytime running lights with a distinctive signature – marks you out from the rest of the pack.
Inside, the Crossland X is packed with lots of clever features and touches that make everyday driving <and> long journeys easier, more comfortable and safer.
It all starts with an interior that is spacious and flexible enough to fit everything that life – and your family – throws at you, with lots of clever little storage spaces, drinks holders and cubby holes. The Crossland X’s interior is also incredibly durable: perfect for even the muckiest of little monsters.
The large 7-inch infotainment touchscreen is the standout feature on the clean uncluttered dashboard, with smartphone connectivity via USB and Bluetooth letting you use features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as voice control for calls and texts.
Nav models add the 8-inch Navi 5.0 IntelliLink touchscreen system, which includes satellite navigation with European coverage and 3D street-level mapping – perfect for navigating the concrete jungle or going even further afield to more exotic climes. You can also choose to add a Premium Sound System with six speakers and a separate amplifier for the subwoofer for spirited in-car singalongs.
Space for all the family – and more
As any parent knows, space is perhaps the most valuable commodity in a family car, and the Vauxhall Crossland X has an expansive load area that belies its compact external dimensions.
There’s up to 410 litres of luggage space and 793mm of load length with the 60:40 split-rear seats up, and as much as 1,255 litres and 1,483mm of load length with them folded down. You also have the option of adding the Versatility Pack, which features a sliding rear bench with a central ski flap for even more loading options.
