The Astra has long been a staple of British roads, but in 2023 Ultimate plug-in hybrid form, it’s clear Vauxhall has redefined its family hatchback as a forward-thinking, premium contender. With just 8,951 miles, this example combines cutting-edge electrification with everyday usability in a package that’s stylish, safe, and seriously sophisticated. At its heart is a 1.6-litre petrol engine paired with a 12.4kWh battery, delivering seamless plug-in hybrid efficiency. This means you’ll enjoy short, silent EV-only trips around town, yet retain petrol flexibility for longer journeys – the best of both worlds. The automatic transmission ensures effortless cruising, while brisk acceleration makes motorway work a breeze. The Ultimate trim lives up to its name. Expect intelligent IntelliLux LED Pixel headlights, a fully digital Pure Panel cockpit, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a premium audio system – technology that doesn’t just look good, but makes driving more intuitive and enjoyable. Comfort is equally well judged with heated and ventilated ergonomic seats, dual-zone climate control, and a refined ride that shrugs off rough surfaces. Safety, as you’d expect from a modern Astra, is state of the art. You’ll find adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and a 360° parking camera, making every journey both safer and less stressful. Buying from FG Barnes means more than just getting behind the wheel of a superb Astra. You’ll benefit from comprehensive warranty cover, manufacturer-trained technicians, and rigorous vehicle checks – a heritage of trust and expertise spanning over 120 years. A plug-in hybrid that blends technology, comfort, and safety with everyday affordability – the Astra Ultimate is not just forward-looking, it’s future-proof.
