Vauxhall Guide
Vauxhall has undergone a major transformation since becoming part of Stellantis, with distinctive styling, improved interiors and electrified powertrains now spread across almost its entire range.
At the same time, the brand has retained its traditional focus on accessible family cars. The Corsa remains an affordable supermini, the Frontera provides unusually practical family transport at a sensible price, and the Combo Life and Vivaro Life offer the sort of passenger and luggage space few conventional SUVs can match.
Current Models
Vauxhall Corsa (19-) | RRP From : £20,590 Powertrains : Petrol, MHEV, EV Key rivals : Fiat Grande Panda, MG3, Peugeot 208, Renault Clio, SEAT Ibiza |
One of Britain's best-known superminis remains a strong all-rounder, with petrol, mild-hybrid and electric powertrains giving buyers plenty of choice. The latest electric versions offer up to around 266 miles of WLTP range, while the 277bhp Corsa GSE turns the familiar hatchback into a genuinely serious electric performance car.
Vauxhall Mokka (21-) | RRP From : £26,545 Powertrains : Petrol, MHEV, EV Key rivals : Ford Puma, Jeep Avenger, Nissan Juke, Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur |
The second-generation Mokka marked a major change in direction for Vauxhall, introducing the Vizor design language and a far more distinctive appearance than its predecessor. Petrol, mild-hybrid and electric versions broaden its appeal, while the latest Mokka Electric can cover up to 252 miles between charges. A 277bhp GSE provides an unexpectedly potent flagship.
Vauxhall Frontera (24-) | RRP From : £24,795 Powertrains : MHEV, EV Key rivals : Citroën C3 Aircross, Dacia Duster, MG ZS, Renault Symbioz, Volkswagen Taigo |
The Frontera takes Vauxhall back towards its traditional strengths: straightforward, spacious family transport at a sensible price. Hybrid versions can accommodate seven people, while the electric range now includes 44kWh and 54kWh batteries, with the latter stretching WLTP range to 248 miles. Its combination of space and value makes it one of the most relevant cars in Vauxhall's range.
Vauxhall Astra (22-) | RRP From : £26,495 Powertrains : Petrol, MHEV, PHEV, EV Key rivals : Kia K4, Leapmotor B05, Peugeot 308, SEAT Leon, Toyota Corolla |
The Astra remains one of Vauxhall's broadest model ranges, available as both a hatchback and Sports Tourer with petrol, mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric power. A recent design update brings a sharper illuminated Vizor front end and improved technology, while the estate continues to provide a useful alternative for families who do not necessarily want an SUV.
Vauxhall Grandland (24-) | RRP From : £31,995 Powertrains : MHEV, PHEV, EV Key rivals : Dacia Bigster, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Renault Austral, Volkswagen Tiguan |
The latest Grandland is considerably more ambitious than its predecessor, combining a much-improved cabin with an illuminated front end and substantially greater road presence. Hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric versions give buyers plenty of choice, while the longest-range electric model can now cover more than 400 miles under WLTP testing. A dual-motor AWD version adds around 321bhp at the top of the range.
Vauxhall Combo Life (18-) | RRP From : £30,840 Powertrains : EV Key rivals : Citroën ë-Berlingo, Ford E-Tourneo Courier, Peugeot E-Rifter, Toyota Proace City Verso |
The Combo Life Electric doesn't try to disguise its van-based origins, and that is precisely what makes it so useful. Standard and XL body lengths offer five- or seven-seat layouts alongside enormous luggage space, while a 52kWh battery provides up to around 213 miles of WLTP range. For families prioritising outright practicality, few conventional SUVs come close.
Vauxhall Vivaro Life (19-) | RRP From : £35,400 Powertrains : EV Key rivals : Citroën ë-SpaceTourer, Ford E-Tourneo Custom, Kia PV5, Peugeot E-Traveller, Toyota Proace Verso |
The Vivaro Life Electric is aimed at buyers who need considerably more than five seats, with configurations accommodating up to nine people and Standard or XL body lengths. Its 75kWh battery delivers up to around 214 miles of WLTP range, while huge interior space makes it well suited to large families, airport transfers and other passenger-carrying duties.
