Blends value with good ride comfort, tidy handling and adequate performance. We’d suggest sticking with the cheaper trim levels to make the most of the Astra’s keen pricing, as it struggles to trouble the more accomplished cars in the class.

Top-spec Astras come with larger 18in alloy wheels, adaptive LED headlights, 360-degree camera, head-up display, wireless phone-charging and a panoramic roof.

The plug-in hybrid combines a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor to produce a combined output of 178bhp. That's enough to sprint from 0-60mph in 7.7sec and on to a top speed of 140mph.
