AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between these two stablemates comes down to how much space you need. The Vauxhall Astra is longer, offering a bigger boot and more room when you fold the rear seats flat. Up front, you will find plenty of room in either car, though both suffer from tight rear legroom, and each features rather fiddly zipped covers over the standard ISOFIX mounting points. You will also get standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring on both, backed by the same three-year, 60,000-mile warranty. Out on twistier roads, neither car leans too much through bends, making each a composed choice depending on the boot capacity you require.
