Vauxhall Astra (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
User friendly cabin and infotainment	Others are roomier and more practical
Comfortable ride	Rear visibility could be better
Choice of petrol, hybrid or electric power	Range could be better on EV and PHEVs

Quick Summary

The eighth-generation Vauxhall Astra (2022-present) is a modern family hatchback built on the Stellantis platform, sharing underpinnings with the Peugeot 308. It offers a diverse range of powertrains including a 1.2-litre turbo petrol, a mild hybrid, plug-in hybrids (PHEV), and a pure electric (Astra-e) option. Its striking "Vauxhall Vizor" styling and slim LED lights give it a distinctive, chiselled look, available as a five-door hatchback or a more spacious Sports Tourer estate.

The Astra provides a confident and relaxed driving experience with a comfortable ride, especially in petrol and mild hybrid versions. Its cabin features a user-friendly infotainment system with physical controls, and all trims are well-equipped, offering strong value. While practicality is good for a family car, some rivals offer more rear room or boot space in electrified variants. Running costs can be low, especially for the electric model with off-peak charging, though real-world EV and PHEV ranges may be less than official figures.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a versatile family car with a choice of powertrains, or buyers who appreciate modern styling and a well-equipped, user-friendly interior.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum rear passenger space or boot capacity in PHEV/EV models, those seeking the sharpest handling in the class, or those needing a longer real-world EV/PHEV range.
