The Grandland Electric does what it says on the tin, but won't knock your socks off

The new Vauxhall Frontera does a lot right for the price… and for that reason it’s hard to look past the identically priced electric variant

The Vauxhall Frontera Electric stands out for its price parity with the hybrid, but it's got more going for it too

The new Vauxhall Grandland is an improvement on old both inside and out, but it isn’t anything groundbreaking

Some cars some suit the transition from hatch to estate, but not the Astra. It’s that bit more lifeless and legroom barely grows

Vauxhall's biggest crossover looks the part, but a very ordinary drive makes it otherwise easily forgettable. Wait for the next gen

All previous Corsas have reeked of mediocrity, but not this one. Pity about the interior though

The electric Astra's still not hugely exciting, but it’s another big step towards EVs becoming the mainstream

Vauxhall took few risks when electrifying the Corsa, and while the facelift has improved the looks, we wish it’d been braver inside

A worthy estate that’ll swallow up family life better than any crossover. Strong exterior and interior design too

The Vauxhall Astra looks great, handles well and will be pretty cheap to run. Just don't expect it to excel at anything

Ticks every cost-effective box, and quite refined. Still tricky to be enthusiastic about, though

Presents enough rational arguments that it'll insinuate itself deep into many families' lives. But feels its age in many respects. There are better, more interesting cars in this class

Does most of the everyday stuff nicely while looking like a bulldog wearing a crash helmet

Vauxhall upgrades its mainstream hatch, makes a very competent Focus rival. Definitely worth considering

Easy to own but there's not a lot of flair compared to its myriad rivals

Related to the Chevy Volt, and none the worse for it. Vauxhall's new take on eco motoring

Nice to drive and with funky doors, the Meriva is very practical for such a small car. What's not to like?

Vauxhall says it's a cut-price Audi A5 rival. We say it's good, but not that good.

Breathes even more fire but is now able to deploy it with more finesse.

Introduced a decade ago, the Zafira now exists beside the Tourer in Vauxhall's line-up. If this is a hidden gem, the sparkle is now well-hidden...
