Deal of the day: get over a whopping £12,800 off this smart family hatchback

This family hatchback has smart styling and a well-sized boot. Joining the government’s EV grant line-up, the Vauxhall Astra Electric offers up to 260 miles of range, and could be yours from under £26,000 through Carwow.

Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can also sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

Why consider the Vauxhall Astra Electric?

The Vauxhall Astra Electric is a stylish, practical family hatchback with a sharp exterior but a somewhat dull interior. It features two 10-inch displays, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, though rear seating and boot space are limited compared to alternatives.

With a 156hp motor and a range of up to 258 miles, it falls short of competitors offering over 300 miles. It’s easy to drive in town with light steering and a quiet cabin, but rear visibility and suspension comfort could improve.

On motorways, the Astra loses range quickly, which may cause range anxiety, though it remains comfortable at higher speeds. Overall, it’s a solid city-friendly EV with great looks but less impressive range and space.
