The only version of the all-electric Astra combines a 54kWh battery and a 153bhp electric motor driving the front wheels. The range is 259 for the hatchback and 255 for the estate, which is decent but not especially competitive.

115kW

Hatchback

<p dir="ltr">Vauxhall has an incredibly diverse range of cars on sale, a few of which stand out above the class average. Add in the fact that it still offers some of the largest Target Price discounts in the market (something it is trying, without huge success, to cut back on), and there are very good reasons to consider buying one of its better models.</p>

<p dir="ltr">However, you need to choose carefully, because it is also a brand in transition. It has a newish parent company – the same one that owns Citroën, DS and Peugeot. And while Vauxhall’s newer models tend to be competitive, some of the others feel dated; a quick check of our star ratings will reveal which is which.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Still, given the recent success of sister brands Citroën and especially Peugeot, each new launch should make its range more appealing to buyers.</p>

ASTRA

This mid-spec trim is also our chosen trim (except for the Astra Electric). It comes with adaptive cruise control, more comfortable seats, keyless entry and start, a 360-degree parking camera, and a heated steering wheel and front seats.

Vauxhall Astra 

The Vauxhall Astra blends value with good ride comfort, tidy handling and adequate performance, but struggles to trouble the best family cars in other areas. If you do buy one, we recommend going for the 1.2-litre 130 petrol engine and mid-spec GS trim.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Plenty of practical space </li> <li>Low running costs </li> <li>A comfortable ride </li> <li>A healthy equipment list </li> <li>Quality materials and thoughtful touches inside </li> <li>Rock-solid reliability</li></ul>

<p>Family cars arguably have the toughest brief of all: they have to be good at pretty much everything. They’re used as the daily drive, on the school run or work commute (often both), and have to be able to cope with a family’s clutter on weekends and holidays.</p>
