Yes - this. You can pick up electric Citroen's for less than half price with less than 500 miles. I expect this to do the same (EDIT: just checked and you can pick up pre-registered delivery miles Astra Electrics from £23k! This version is £33k pre-reg)
@@jblue2435 Everyone who buys anything above a Golf will be paying Luxury car tax.... Regardless as the it being luxury or not. Plus don't forget this government will probably double the cost of road tax.
I hate to join the dogpile, but a 50kWh battery that charges at only 100kW? For £45,000?! You'll almost never see 200 miles of range and it'll take too long to put not enough energy back in.
Your final conclusions contradict most of what you said during the review. You slated the car, yet at the end, recommend it as a cracking family car? Overall, it's about 10k overpriced for the quality and styling. Vauxhall has lost the plot. 👎🏻
I can't believe that you did a complete car review of an Estate Car, compared it to many non-estate cars and totally failed to mention the Elephant in the room, the other estate car out there, the MG5 EV. It's hardly cutting edge, but it matches or beats the Astra in most areas and is far better value for money.
Here's the big problem. If you want a large electric car, the Tesla Model Y is the benchmark and it's around the same price as this and also has a monstrous boot. It proves that your choice doesn't *have* to be an estate. Just not a monstrous SUV the size of a BMW X7. Ask yourself, if you have 40-50k as a budget, would you get this or the Model Y? I'd pick the Tesla in that situation. And a 54kwh battery with 156 bhp at this price range is a goddamn insult. And even if you don't want the Tesla, other electric options for cars at this size and price range include: Audi Q4 E tron Mercedes EQA BMW IX1 They *all* come with bigger batteries, more power and higher quality. I swear to God Stellantis just sees EVs as an excuse to jack up prices without anything to justify it. And then there's the Kia EV3, which is over 12k cheaper, has a bigger battery and has fantastic quality. What the hell is the excuse for pricing this thing at 45k?
Tesla is the benchmark? Their "interiors" would feel cheap in a 10k car, let alone what they charge. Their suspension and noise insulation is nigh nonexistent and again would feel cheap in even a 10k car. They have great electric motors, but they can't build an actual car to put them in. The EV benchmark is probably BYD or Xpeng.
@@yissibiiyte I guess you haven´t been in the 2024 Model 3 then. The way its interior is made even beats similarly priced cars from the likes of Mercedes and Audi. Almost everything you mentioned was improved in the Model 3 - and the same treatment is coming to the Model Y soon. BYD may be slightly more comfortable but loses out in several other departments - Xpeng doesn´t even register. And THE Nr. 1 top dog in the EV market is the Model Y. It dominated 2023 completely across all engine types and continues to dominate at least the EV market. Its not the best in everything. But its the best overall in its price range by miles. So, YES, Model Y IS the benchmark. And seeing the Astra competing in the Model Ys price range one has to draw comparisons. And I can tell you this from first hand experience: the only thing the Astra has going for it are the really extremely comfortable front seats. Thats it.
@@robertmandl9326 all you've proven is that the Model Y is the benchmark in terms of sales. It is NOT the benchmark in terms of objective value. 45k for a car with no radar, no driver's display, not a single button, no stalks, practically no suspension, not even a roof cover, is highway robbery. In what areas exactly is it better than a BYD or Xpeng? Both of those actually have a driver's display, have radar as well as lidar, have suspension that works, have actual noise insulation, and incomparably better build quality. Teslas are missing so much basic tech it's laughable. Each one they sell for 45k easily has a 30k profit margin.
Genuinely baffled how Vauxhall is still going. Not a single Vauxhall is exciting or enticing or best in class or anything. And they're ALL too expensive for what you get.
Why would you recommend this to anyone?! You've literally just talked about how awful it is compared to its rivals and the value proposition. Time to hold these manufacturers to account and call a Spade a Spade
To be fair, I checked the Vauxhall website, as I had trouble believing the 45K. There is a 45K Astra wagon, it's the Ultimate trim. The EV Astra actually starts around 37K. Still feels punchy for an Astra, but less absurd than 45K.
45 k is ridiculous wouldn't pay that even if i could afford it people want cheap motors and value what about making cars people actually want just a thought 🤔
£45k for a Vauxhall Astra? I've owned a couple down the years. Decent cars. Neither cost more than 1/3 of this car. Nobody will buy this. Once it's selling for sub £20k at two years old, then maybe.
Seeing there’s a brand new electric Astra Hatch on Autotrader with £12,500 off the list price, you know these are going to be massively discounted almost immediately. No one in their right mind is going to be paying over £30k - £35k for a new one and £25k for a nearly new. Sorry Stellantis, but your fantasy pricing is ridiculous, especially given the range, battery size and charging speed. The only way they’ll shift these is to company car drivers with huge fleet discounts.
After manufacturing motor cars since 1893, one would assume the industry learnt something about practicality, safety and ergonomics. The motor car has now succumbed to the airline industry regression which went from flight to supersonic and back to normal flight. We've moved backwards !
I can't get my head around why Vauxhall is doing this, £45000? I wonder if they have lots and lots of ICE engines to use up and so don't want to sell EV's. I think I will stick with an Enyaq!
For the past few years EV insurance has gone through the roof. But that is mostly because the EV market is heavily skewed towards powerful cars, using their large induction motors to harvest energy instead of using brakes. Petrol Supercar style acceleration leads to supercar insurance prices. Hats off to Stelantis for producing: An estate - with decent load capacity, but less wind drag than an SUV shape. So, more range from a given battery size. A car with normal petrol car like acceleration - so it will be affordable to the normal person to insure it. Going slowly can be a Good Thing to reduce costs. The result is a car that a young family could afford to put on their driveway, and run it afterwards. The early adopter age is almost behind us for EV. The lower mainstream market is where this is squarely aimed. None of this explains the price though. It needs to be about £10k lower. Then it should find a large number of buyers that can, just, afford to buy and in particular run it. Model Y, MG5 (current -‘24 style) and Taycan are the competition hitting the interior space. Only MG is a true comparison though, and that is based on an old VW Passat chassis and about to be replaced. Don’t forget the badge too. It’s a Vauxhall. So expect to see that £10k discount within the first few months. Then it should sell well in its target market.
The fact you can't see Vauxhall's badge speaks mountains, it being in all black. Like the LG logo, it's a terrible logo mark that looks cheap and badly designed. The car designers probably wanted to hide it. They redesigned it recently as well - aaaaaand it's just as bad. 🤦♂
This is the reverse of a wolf in sheep's clothing.... crazy small battery and performance for the asking price. Such a wasted opportunity by Vauxhall....the car actually looks smart and well designed....what a shame.
Did you hear the one about the Astra that was £45K in 2024🤣🤣 Of course it wont actually sell new for anything like that and it probably be £15K second hand in a year's time. But still why does Stillantis do this when the car will be subject to "luxury" car tax which will put off all the buyers.
Only someone increadibly stupid buys a Stellantis EV car at full price not on lease. Wait a couple of months and this will be discounted new at £30-35000. Still too expensive in my opinion, I've never spent more than £10,000 on a car. I'll look at it in 5 years when it's close to my price range.
Vauxhall tend to initially price their EVs optimistically, then reduce the price when they can't sell them, so in line with other EV models I would expect this to be on sale for about £32k before too long, so don't get hung up on the list price as it tends to have little meaning when applied to EVs built by legacy auto manufacturers like Vauxhall. Mind you this still looks way overpriced when compared to the MG5, which looks a better bet and can be bought new for under £20k.
Yes 45k seems overpriced for a Vaixhall Astra. However anyone with the most basic of haggling skills will pay nowhere near that in reality, Also these are cheap as chips on personal lease at the moment for what I’m sure is a decent family car.
45 g’s for a Astra. I’m still coming to terms with a spec’d Golf GTI costing nearly 50. Car prices are crazy when you consider the depreciation involved nowadays. Their priced for a lease market and approved used to gain most profit from the cars life
You forgot to mention that as it costs over 40K anyone buying one will have to pay the Luxury car tax as well. That is pouring salt into the wound as this is no luxury car. I just can't understand who will buy one apart from those that would otherwise buy a Honda Jazz.
No, no and no. If the battery was bigger, not the same drivetrain that the rest of the PSA group, etc…, but much more refined, much longer range, more powerful, rear wheel drive… or AWD…, maybe…
We have the BEV, the PHEV, the MHEV and here Vauxhall have created the MEH a car so bland and uninspiring all a person can say is that it’s just meh. What a waste of engineering, time and money
What a shame! Since Pougeot’s taken over Vauxhall they haven’t put much effort into the fleet of Vauxhall’s cars then they have with the new Pougeot’s 😔 Only my opinion
I think the reluctance to condemn this for being the overpriced, under-spec, half baked mess it is reflects badly on the channel. Reviewers need to start calling out bad cars as just that.
I am a beemer man. On my last holiday I had the new Astra touring on hire. We did about 500km in the car over 4 days. Mostly highways but some "b roads" and town driving. I have to admit that I loved it. As far as new cars go it's really well equipped, handles very well, loads of space for luggage... I had the petrol version and that engine is crap, don't waste your time. Also I didn't like that the cruise control would only work with the radar so I found myself not using it. But on the plus, the car doesn't bing and bong constantly, it's quiet and comfortable on long journeys, easy to park, decent stereo. Yeah really not bad at all. I found myself trying to convince my old man to get one a week after that trip lol. I would say that £45k is too much but if they do a cheaper diesel version then it would probably be a good daily
Are the Stellantis group deliberately overpricing Vauxhall cars making them unattractive and too expensive, so that people don’t buy them giving them good reason to do away with the brand.
Let’s hope she is more enthusiastic about the 45000€ Alfa Junior with 280bhp and a Torsen mechanical limited slip differential whenever the car is released from the grip of Alfa/Stellantis’s promotion team !
No Astra is worth 45k. Thats utter madness.
Some EV fanatic will buy it though.
@@alangordon3283would probably be leased out and then bought by a private seller in a few years
