Anyone had experience of these? Old me would have never considered a Vauxhall but these look pretty good and it's an estate, which I prefer to SUVs. They seem a bit sluggish at 9.3secs to 60. charging okay at 115kW and battery size alright at 54kwh. Claimed 254 mile range
Crucially, deals seem excellent at the mo.
So, anyone have one? (or the hatch?)

Sorry, not had any experience. Like the idea of an EV estate though. They’re very few and far between, as everything seems to be an SUV these days!

Bit lacking in range for my needs. Should be some Vauxhalls with better range along soon, provided they’re built on the newer Stellantis EV platform, where the range is >400 miles. Seems to be incredibly heavy though!

I would be very wary of that range. stellantis cars seem to get nearer to 150miles out of the 50kWh batteries. Look at the ecorsa/emokka/e208/e2008/c4/etc.

Thanks both. I think the deals are drying up anyway so might have to go SUV (sigh). Renault Scenic might be okay

Saw this and thought of you biggrin



There might be a catch, but that’s a pretty good deal on the face of it!
