Sporty new 222bhp Vauxhall Astra GSe launches the firm's electrified performance brand
has yet to announce any performance figures, but the mechanically identical Peugeot 308 225 plug-in hybrid has a 0-62mph time of 7.7sec, a 146mph top speed and an electric-only range of 37 miles.
For its first foray into the electrified performance sphere, Vauxhall has fitted the Astra with GSe-specific tuned dampers and sports-calibrated steering and it has lowered the ride height by 10mm. Upgraded looks include new 18in alloys, a bespoke front bumper, GSe badging and performance-themed interior detailing.
The arrival of a new GSe line was previewed by last year’s retro-styled Manta GSe concept and comes as part of Vauxhall’s plan to become a fully electric brand by 2028.
