VAUXHALL is introducing new Design trim entry-level versions of the Astra Electric and Mokka Electric which are scheduled for release from January 2024.

Prices for the two models start from £36,610 for the Mokka Electric and £37,795 for the Astra Electric.

Both come with a variety of driver aids and safety technologies as standard, including lane departure warning, speed sign recognition, driver drowsiness alert and forward collision alert.

The Mokka Electric Design is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels and features a seven-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.

It also features rear parking sensors, a panoramic rear view camera and automatic lights and wipers.

The Astra Electric Design is fitted with 18-inch bi-colour alloy wheels and benefits from Vauxhall's Pure Panel interior, which features a 10-inch touchscreen with voice-activated satellite navigation and a 10-inch digital instrument cluster. Rear parking sensors, keyless start and automatic lights and wipers further enhance ease of use.

As with all electrified Vauxhall models, the new Design versions are also available with Vauxhall's ‘Plug & Go' offer, allowing users to choose a wallbox from one of Vauxhall's three approved national suppliers and spread the cost across the length of their finance agreement.

Other Plug & Go features include eight years' roadside assistance, an eight-year battery warranty, and an Octopus Electroverse card, providing access to over half a million public chargers across the UK and Europe.

The Mokka Electric Design is available with an electric motor which delivers 136ps aand a 50kWh lithium-ion battery which delivers range of up to 209 miles.

The Astra Electric Design is powered by a 54kWh lithium-ion battery and a 156ps electric motor with up to 258 miles of range between charges.
