I want to carry 2 bicycles for my trips.
The first option is to fit a towbar but I don't know if I have to buy also the part that fits on the car or only the last part (the hook is named?)

The other option is the roof rack but I think it not so convenient because of the hight.

What do you think?

I'm in the same situation. I think the roof is too high to put bikes on and off without a step ladder. I'll be looking to get a tow bar fitted and then use the bike rack that attaches to that to carry our two bikes when we go away for a ride on them.

I finally found a bicycle rack that fits on the boot door.
My only concern is whether it will do harm on the rear spoiler

Hi Themis, I've read that a rear boot bike carrier cannot be used on the Grandland, but I've got one that I used on my previous Insignia hatch that I want to now use on my new Grandland X. How have you got on - did you manage to use a rear carrier, or have you resorted to tow bar / roof carrier option? Thanks
