Vauxhall Astra buying guide

What types of used Vauxhall Astra cars are there?

There are two types of Vauxhall Astra available – a regular family hatchback model that’s more manageable to drive, and an estate car with a bigger boot. It’s called the Astra Sports Tourer, and it has been available as an option on every generation to date.

What features does the Vauxhall Astra have?

Vauxhall has changed its trim levels so many times that it’s impossible to guarantee what you might get with any used Vauxhall Astra for sale.

As a guide, entry-level SE models sold after the 2019 facelift came with air-con, cruise control and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.

The eighth-generation model comes with all-round parking sensors, LED headlights, adaptive cruise control and push-button start.

Is the Vauxhall Astra reliable?

Thankfully, the Vauxhall Astra is known for being a highly dependable model, whichever generation you pick.

The latest cars share parts with the Peugeot 308, as well as other Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and DS cars, which means everything is time-tested.

How much does the Vauxhall Astra cost to run?

Whether you go for a punchy 1.0- or 1.2-litre petrol or one of the diesels available in previous-generation models, you’ll have no problem getting excellent fuel economy figures.

If running costs are important to you, consider a plug-in hybrid model which should be able to do around 30 miles between charges, or the fully electric Astra which costs as little as £4 to fully charge on an off-peak rate (7p/kWh).

Who is the Vauxhall Astra suitable for?

A used Vauxhall Astra for sale is a classic choice for families, but it’s also a stylish pick for solo drivers who need some extra space for the odd road trip.
