All-New Vauxhall Astra Electric Wins 'Efficiency Award' at Electrify.com Awards 2024

The Efficiency Award for 2024 from Electrifying.com has been given to the All-New Vauxhall Astra after impressing the judges with its overall efficiency and innovative technology.

The Electrifying.com Awards act to acknowledge and award electric cars that have made significant achievements in the field, and have furthermore praised the Astra Electric for achieving the highest efficiency of any car assessed by their experts. This is thanks to the next-generation battery and efficient electric motor.

Now powered with a quieter and more efficient electric motor, the newest Astra Electric includes features such as a heat pump that allows the electric motor to operate at maximum efficiency in hot or cold weather. It additionally comes in a variety of driving modes – Eco, Normal and Sport – with the All-New Astra Electric having a range of 258 miles (WLTP) in Normal mode, while driving in Eco mode offers the option of further improved efficiency.

The Astra’s theme of efficiency continues with its new battery size, now resulting in a lower kerb weight. It weighs only 58kg more than the Plug-in Hybrid version and does so without compromising passenger space or boot capacity. The All-New Astra Electric also allows for 100kW rapid charging, meaning that it can achieve 20%-80% charge in 26 quick minutes.

By utilizing the MyVauxhall app, drivers can also pre-condition their vehicle's cabin, optimizing the electric driving range. This involves using mains electricity to heat or cool the cabin ahead of the journey.

Ginny Buckley, Founder and CEO of Electrifying.com, said:

“The new Vauxhall Astra Electric shocked us in the best way – by being the most efficient electric car we’ve ever driven. We know that many buyers have concerns about the driving range of electric models and over a 200+ mile journey we averaged five miles from every kWh of energy in its battery, a remarkable figure that will give potential owners peace of mind.”

Starting in 2024, Vauxhall plans to provide a fully electric variant for each model within its lineup.

Financial Disclosure

F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach for a new car purchase is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow.

Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to.
