While the motoring landscape has changed beyond recognition over the last few decades, the enduring popularity of Vauxhall has nevertheless remained one major constant.
While Vauxhall as a brand is only found in the UK (the range is known as Opel in Europe and Holden in Australasia), its appeal stretches to every corner of the British Isles and has done for many years now.
In that time, Vauxhall has modernised and diversified, but the current range keeps the brand as popular as ever thanks to the combination of esteemed long-standing favourites, like the Corsa and Astra, and new additions like the Grandland.
So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the 2026 Vauxhall range.

- Diverse Range – From the pint-sized Corsa, to the practical Grandland, Vauxhall can claim to have one of the most diverse model line-ups on the market

Popular Vauxhall Models in the UK
Vauxhall Corsa
Its famous arch rival – the Ford Fiesta - might have been given the axe, but the Vauxhall Corsa is not only still going, it is going stronger than ever if the sales charts are anything to go by.
Now sharing its underpinnings with the Peugeot 208, the Corsa stands firm as a conventional ‘supermini’ meaning it still prioritises being a compact, useable, easy-to-drive and frugal model that remains very likeable.
That’s not to say it doesn’t have modern advancements – namely its option of electric power now – but for a handsome-looking, refined and well-equipped small runaround, the Corsa is a satisfying buy.
Vauxhall Mokka
Dialling up the style, the Vauxhall Mokka trailblazed a bold new design direction for the brand when it was launched in 2022 and it has had buyers lapping it up ever since.
It means the Mokka is a car that continues to make a statement everywhere it goes, but while things certainly look striking on the outside, on the inside you still get Vauxhall’s familiar quality and useability.
Vauxhall Frontera
If the Mokka is a bit too out there for you, the larger – yet cheaper – Vauxhall Frontera makes a worthy alternative in the small-SUV space.
The appeal of the Frontera lies in its family-friendly attributes, where the boxy utilitarian styling allows for an airy, spacious interior for five or seven.
Available with the choice of petrol, hybrid or electric powertrains, the Frontera leads with a well-sized boot, competitive pricing and – of course – an extra couple of seats if you need them.
Vauxhall Astra
Like the Corsa, the Vauxhall Astra is a mainstay of the small hatchback class and the latest generation – its eighth – has never looked sharper or offered more than it does now.
There is little ignoring the bold interpretation of Vauxhall’s ‘Vizor’ styling direction, but the striking design is such that it allows for a very spacious interior, especially in estate Sports Tourer form.
It’s also brimming with technology that gives the Astra a cutting-edge sheen not experienced in rivals like the VW Golf and Honda Civic.
Vauxhall Grandland
Proof that Vauxhall can dabble in more premium spaces, the Vauxhall Grandland is a sophisticated and desirable option in the crowded large SUV space.
A recent update has given the already handsome design a more contemporary makeover, while the interior has enjoyed a lavish overhaul to be more comfortable, practical and better-equipped.
A consummate all-rounder, the Grandland’s breadth of choice if also a plus point with petrol, hybrid or electric power options available.
Vauxhall Combo Life
If space and passenger-carrying capacity is underlined and circled on your car wish list, the Vauxhall Combo Life takes some beating.
Based on the running gear of the firm’s popular small van – also named Combo – the civilian Life version can be had with either five or seven seats, powered by a 52kWh electric battery.
Whichever you choose, there is a huge amount of space available in the Combo Life, including a massive 755-litre boot, making it an excellent choice for those with mobility considerations.
Vauxhall Vivaro Life
Another van-based offering, the Vauxhall Vivaro Life is available in either Standard (six seats) or XL (nine seats) body style maximum passenger-carrying capacity.
It means the Vivaro Life offers exceptional flexibility depending on your needs, while the choice of either 52kWh or 75kWh battery means it is as frugal as it is practical.
