Summary
The Opel Astra Electric 58 kWh (MY26) is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £28,495. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.3 seconds, slower than 86% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 214 miles (345 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 30% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 19th of 67 hatchbacks.
It uses around 3.9 mi/kWh (161 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 55.4 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 75 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 224 miles (361 km) at motorway speeds.
It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
Its UK starting price works out at £133 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).
