New Vauxhall Astra Electric 2023 review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nLike the Peugeot, the Vauxhall uses a new 54kWh (51.5kWh usable) battery that has begun to appear in Stellantis\u2019 wider portfolio of EVs recently. The front-mounted electric motor produces 156bhp and 270Nm of torque, the same as in the Astra Electric hatchback. It also matches the hatchback for acceleration, taking 9.2 seconds to get to 62mph and topping out at 106mph.<\/p>\n
Even with the extra mass of the estate body style, the Astra Sports Tourer Electric\u2019s maximum range stands at 256 miles – only 2 miles down on the hatch. As we\u2019ve seen on the rest of the Vauxhall EV lineup, there\u2019s a 100kW charging capacity with a 20 to 80 per cent charge taking 26 minutes. An 11kW onboard charger is standard on all Sport Tourer Electric models.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As you\u2019d expect, boot space is\u00a0 improved on the hatchback but at 516 litres it\u2019s some way down on the Peugeot E-308 SW\u2019s 548-litre capacity. With the rear seats down the Vauxhall\u2019s boot expands to 1,553 litres – still 21 litres off the Peugeot\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like the Astra Electric, the Astra Sports Tourer Electric comes in three different trim levels – the entry-level Design, mid-spec GS and range-topping Ultimate.<\/p>\n
All Sports Tourer Electric models come with 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, wrapped in specific tyres to help boost efficiency. Design also gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors plus safety systems such as forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking and lane keep assist. Two 10-inch displays on the dash are also standard.<\/p>\n
Step up to the \u00a342,345 GS and you\u2019ll find a sportier look on the outside thanks to black alloy wheels, a black roof, bespoke bumpers, a black Vauxhall badge and blacked out \u2018Vizor\u2019 grille. There\u2019s also more technology thanks to a 360-degree parking camera, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The top-spec Ultimate costs from \u00a345,460 and comes with LED \u2018IntelliLux\u2019 pixel headlights (which automatically cuts its beam from dazzling other drivers), a head-up display, a wireless phone charger, a panoramic sunroof, a hands-free bootlid, roof rails and Alcantara upholstery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
