Vauxhall is putting all its eggs in one basket when it comes to electric, aiming to become a 100 per cent electric company by 2028.

Similar in price and range to the Octavia (£35,735 and 43 miles), the Astra hybrid is a big part of that transition. It has a lot of good rivals in this space though to also take note of, notably the Nissan Leaf, Peugeot e-308 and VW ID.3.
