The new Vauxhall GSe sub-brand aims to take the new Vauxhall Astra to the next level with stiffer suspension and increased power. But just how good is it? Our verdict is in -
From SRi and VXR to GSi, we’ve seen many performance sub-brands from Vauxhall over the years, but never one focused solely on electrified performance. That is, until now. What you see here is the Vauxhall Astra GSe, a faster and firmer version of the Astra plug-in hybrid.
That’s all well and good, but the Astra isn’t the only plug-in hybrid that’s focused on giving you performance and efficiency – indeed, the closely related Peugeot 308 Plug-In Hybrid even uses the same 222bhp engine and hybrid system. On top of that, the Astra needs to take on the Seat Leon e-Hybrid and the very accomplished VW Golf GTE.As we’ve already mentioned, the Astra GSe's four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and hybrid system produces 222bhp in total.
Head into a corner and the GSe displays much better body control than the regular Astra; there's barely any lean and loads of grip. As a result, you’ll find the driving experience more involving than before. True, the Leon is better still, but the Astra is a fine thing. When it comes to efficiency, official figures suggest that you’ll be able to drive on electricity alone for 40 miles – slightly farther than both the 308 PHEV 225 and Leon e-Hybrid can go. When you do so, the Astra GSe is smooth and easy to drive, slowing predictably with the regenerative braking. It's quiet, too, with little more than a slight whine from the electric motor.If you’ve ever sat inside the Astra you’ll feel instantly at home in the Astra GSe.
