About Vauxhall Astra Electric Car
The Vauxhall Astra Electric is the all-electric version of one of Europe’s best-known family hatchbacks. Sold as the Opel Astra Electric in mainland Europe, it brings sharp ‘Vizor’ styling, a smart cabin and proper hatchback practicality to the electric class – and for buyers who need more space, there is also an Astra Sports Tourer Electric estate (the Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric) with a much bigger boot.
The 2026 facelift is the big news for this electric Opel Astra. It swaps the old 54 kWh pack for a larger 58 kWh battery, lifting the official range to up to 282 miles (454 km) WLTP – around 22 miles more than before. Power stays at 156 hp from a front-mounted motor, with 0-62 mph in about 9.2 seconds and a 106 mph top speed. Charging is quick for the class, with up to around 100 kW DC charging taking the battery from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 30 minutes, plus an 11 kW AC charger and, new for 2026, Vehicle-to-Load to power external devices.
This Vauxhall Astra Electric review really comes down to value and usability. The hatch offers a 352-litre boot and the Sports Tourer estate a generous 516 litres, both with five seats and comfortable, grown-up road manners. The Vauxhall Astra Electric price now starts from around GBP 29,995 – the same as the hybrid versions – which makes it far more competitive than before. It is a UK and Europe model and is not sold in India, but in those markets it is one of the most sensible electric family cars you can buy.
Trending news for Vauxhall Astra Electric Car
The big update is the 2026 Vauxhall Astra facelift, and the electric version is the headline. The Astra Electric swaps its old 54 kWh pack for a larger 58 kWh battery, lifting WLTP range to up to 282 miles (454 km) - about 22 miles more than before - and adds a Vehicle-to-Load function, a refreshed front end and Vauxhall's new ergonomic Intelli-Seats. The 156 hp motor carries over.
The other big news is pricing: with the facelift, the electric Astra now costs the same as the hybrid versions, starting from around GBP 29,995, with the updated range going on sale in June. That price parity between EV, hybrid and mild-hybrid makes the electric Astra far more competitive than it was, and removes the usual EV price premium buyers expect.
Vauxhall Astra Electric Car range and performance
The 2026 Vauxhall Astra Electric uses a 58 kWh battery (up from 54 kWh) with a 115 kW (156 hp) front motor and 270 Nm of torque. Official range rises to up to 282 miles (454 km) WLTP, with a realistic real-world figure around 195 to 230 miles depending on conditions.
It is tuned for comfort and efficiency rather than speed - 0-62 mph takes about 9.2 seconds and the top speed is 106 mph. The same powertrain is used in both the hatchback and the Astra Sports Tourer Electric estate.
Vauxhall Astra Electric Car safety overview
The Astra Electric comes with a solid suite of driver-assistance features, including automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, driver drowsiness alert, traffic sign recognition, and rear parking sensors with a camera. Adaptive cruise control is available on higher trims.
Buyers should check the latest Euro NCAP information for the specific Astra model year and trim, as the current electric version's rating can vary by test cycle and market.
