Vauxhall Astra GSe review: what the car critics say

A top-of-the-range Astra that is ‘quite satisfying on a twisty road, but it’s never exciting’

Astra GSe prices start from £40,550

The Astra GSe is a top-of-the-range Astra that comes with lots of sporty badging, but the performance labelling is a bit deceptive, said Autocar. What we have here is a comfortable, nicely rounded, everyday plug-in hybrid. Softly suspended, it has a fair bit of roll in corners and the grip from the Michelin Primacy 4 tyres is OK, but not tenacious. It’s “quite satisfying on a twisty road, but it’s never exciting”.
