Vauxhall has unveiled a newly facelifted version of its Astra lower-medium car.
Among the updates is the introduction of a bigger, 58kWh battery for the Astra Electric version, allowing a provisional WLTP range of up to 282 miles – a 22-mile increase. Vehicle-to-load technology has also been introduced.
The updated Astra – available as a hatchback and a Sports Tourer estate – features a new-look front end with an illuminated Vauxhall ‘griffin’ badge, and adaptive Intelli-Lux HD headlights as standard.
Inside, ergonomic Intelli-Seats are also standard, and there’s increased use of recycled materials.
As well as the EV, petrol, 48V hybrid, and plug-in hybrid versions will be available.
Vauxhall says more information about the updated Astra will be provided when the model makes its official debut at the Brussels Motor Show next month.
Full UK specs and prices are yet to be announced.
