This is the Vauxhall Mokka, a B-segment SUV that will be revealed at the 2012 Geneva motor show this March.  So the Vauxhall Mokka isn’t a move into the hotly contested hot drinks market? Err, no. Instead it’s a Vauxhall (and Opel) version of the Buick Encore 4x4 that’s just been revealed at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 13 September 2011 08:45

Alongside the Astra GTC and Zafira Tourer, Vauxhall (and thus Opel) is unveiling something a little more ‘out there’ at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show. It’s this tiny city car, known by Vauxhall as RAK e, and which we’re going to call the Rake. The name is a modern take on the Rak 2, a rocket-powered Opel that hit 140mph in ...

Alongside the Astra GTC and Zafira Tourer, Vauxhall (and thus Opel) is unveiling something a little more ‘out there’ at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show. It’s this tiny city car, which won’t have a name until the official unveiling next week. And this Vauxhall concept car is what exactly?

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer (2011) first official pictures

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 18 May 2011 00:01

It’s not the new Vauxhall Zafira, it’s the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer. Why the new name? Because the current Zafira will continue to be sold alongside the new Zafira Tourer, which lands in UK showrooms in early 2012. Vauxhall claims its new MPV sits above the current car and will ‘raise the bar for design, luxury, flexibility and innovation in the MPV sector’. ...

This is the Vauxhall Astra GTC, a sleek three-door version of the Vauxhall’s family hatch. Unveiled in these rendered images, it looks almost identical to the sharp GTC Paris concept that Vauxhall revealed at the 2010 Paris motor show.

This rather lovely red beauty is the Vauxhall GTC Paris concept, and our first look at how 2011’s new three-door Astra will look. But you know that because Vauxhall released the first pictures of this car back in early September – the reason we’re revisiting it is that we’ve now got a chance to glimpse inside the GTC Paris.Vauxhall GTC ...

Ben Pulman, 18 June 2009 15:15

Vauxhall has released the first interior pictures of the new sixth-generation Astra, showing that the inside of the five-door hatch has been heavily influenced by the bigger Insignia's. Talk me through the Vauxhall Astra's insides The architecture broadly follows that of the Insignia, with (at least in top-spec models) a high-set sat-nav system, sitting above the audio and air-con controls and ...
