Vauxhall is celebrating a hat-trick of Which? Best Buy endorsements in the latest Which? Car Guide 2025, with the Corsa Electric, Astra Electric and Astra Sports Tourer Electric all recognised as stand-out choices in their respective categories.

The Vauxhall Corsa Electric was recognised as one of the best small cars for 2025. The best small cars are recognised as being well built, safe and practical, all qualities that define the Corsa Electric, making it a standout choice for urban and suburban driving. Vauxhall is continuing to make electric mobility more accessible by improving the range of the Corsa Electric. Thanks to improvements in battery technology and drivetrain efficiency, the Corsa Electric Long Range now offers a range of up to 266 miles (WLTP), an increase of 14 miles over the previous model’s 252 miles. Pricing for the Corsa Electric starts from £27,505 OTR for the recently updated YES Edition, offering a high specification at an affordable price.

In the medium car category, the Astra Electric impressed with its blend of reliability, practicality, safety, and efficiency. Meanwhile, the Astra Sports Tourer Electric excelled in the estate car category, offering not just a spacious and versatile boot but also strong performance across reliability, comfort, efficiency, and safety. The Astra Electric Design is priced at £34,955 OTR, while customers opting for the Astra Sports Tourer Electric now enjoy the Design trim available from £36,155 OTR.

Eurig Druce, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “Having three of our models named ‘Best Buys’ by Which? is a great achievement for Vauxhall, showcasing the depth of quality across our electric vehicle line-up. With a bold design, cutting-edge technology and outstanding efficiency, the award-winning Corsa Electric and Astra Electric reaffirm Vauxhall’s position at the forefront of electrification. Meanwhile, the Astra Sports Tourer Electric remains a top choice for those needing extra practicality without compromising on comfort and style.”

As part of Vauxhall’s efforts to simplify going electric, all of these models are available with the brand’s Electric All In offer, which includes access to a variety of charging solutions to help make electric mobility even easier.

Customers benefit from eight years of comprehensive roadside assistance, including emergency charging assistance. Electric All In also includes £500 credit which can be used towards either an Ohme home wallbox installation or Tesco charging credit or Octopus Electroverse credit, as well as 10,000 miles’ worth of free home charging when switching to the Intelligent Octopus GO home energy tariff1. Finally, there is a complimentary six-month subscription to Connect Plus, giving access to the full suite of connected services available through Vauxhall Connect.

Vauxhall offers a fully electric version of every car and van model in its line-up, making sustainable motoring accessible to all.
