- Hatch and estate available
VAUXHALL'S push towards becoming an EV-only manufacturer by 2028 really starts with this, the Astra Electric. Available in five-door and Sports Tourer estate form, the new model boasts up to 258 miles of range, according to the company, and will go on sale early next year.
Interior gets Vauxhall's twin-screen Pure Panel infotainment system and voice control
With the latest Astra moving to Vauxhall's parent firm Stellantis's EMP2 platform, it has allowed engineers to install a 54kWh battery pack, supplying a front-mounted motor that delivers 152bhp and 270Nm of torque.
Although Vauxhall has not yet outlined performance figures, expect a 0-62mph time of between eight and nine seconds. Top speed has been confirmed as 105mph.
