Vauxhall will offer electric versions of all its cars in 2024

Vauxhall has confirmed the successor to its Crossland SUV will be offered with an electric powertrain, when it launches next year, completing the electrification of the brand’s line-up.

The Crossland replacement, along with a new Grandland, will both go on sale in 2024, meaning all new Vauxhalls will be offered as an electric vehicle (EV).

News of the new model broke while fleet decision makers were sampling the new Astra Electric - ahead of its official launch - at Company Car in Action, last week.

James Taylor, managing director of Vauxhall, said: “2024 will see us achieve the significant milestone of offering a fully-electric variant across our entire model line-up. It also confirms that going forward, all future Vauxhall models will be offered with a fully-electric variant from launch – demonstrating our commitment towards driving Britain to a brighter, electric future.”

By 2028, Vauxhall plans to only sell electric cars. Its growing range already features five fully-electric passenger car models, including Corsa Electric, Mokka Electric, Combo Life Electric and Vivaro Life Electric. These vehicles have recently been joined by Astra Electric, which is available to order now, and will be joined by the Astra Sports Tourer Electric later this year. This will be followed in 2024 by the all-electric successors to the Crossland and Grandland, completing the fully-electric offering for the brand.

Vauxhall already offers a fully-electric variant across its entire LCV range – comprising Combo Electric, Vivaro Electric and Movano Electric.

The portfolio of Vauxhall electrified vehicles also features plug-in hybrid versions of Astra, Astra Sports Tourer and Grandland, all of which earlier this year became the first models to wear the badge of Vauxhall’s new electrified performance sub-brand – GSe (Grand Sport electric).

Vauxhall is also adding a new Hybrid powertrain to its electrified line-up. The 100PS and 136PS engines with a new dual-clutch automatic transmission will be available on the Corsa later this year, giving customers a choice of powertrain.
