Vauxhall has revealed the new eighth-generation Astra hatchback, and for the first time in the model's history it comes with a plug.

With the British firm now being part of the gigantic Stellantis company, the new Astra has a lot in common with the new Peugeot 308. That means it shares its platform and underpinnings with the French hatchback, and comes in two petrol plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions, along with petrol and diesel power. Just like the 308, there's no full-electric version despite it being available on the 308's and Astra's sister car, the Citroen e-C4.

The two plug-in hybrid versions use a 1.6-litre petrol engine mated to a 109bhp electric motor and a 12.4kWh battery pack. It comes in two power outputs – a combined 178bhp and 222bhp respectively.

Although not confirmed yet by Vauxhall, the electric-only range and CO2 figures should be practically identical to the 308 Hybrid models, so expect around 25g/km, 30-35 miles of pure electric range and 11% BIK tax for both models.
