Don’t be distracted by the GSe badge on the back of this Vauxhall Astra. While it purports to be the sporty model in the range, it can’t hold a candle to the VXR models or even the boisterous GTE cars of the 80s and 90s that still set pulses racing.
This new car channels the spirit, if not replicating it, which means the raunchy, punchy and thirsty 2.0-litre petrol engines have gone, replaced by an electrified plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain — a stepping stone to the complete electrification of the Vauxhall range by 2028, unless Rishi makes some unexpected announcement that changes the playing field.
