Trim Levels 

A car’s trim is a different version of a vehicle’s model. These trim levels will offer different features and specifications, which drivers can use to compare what they want from their car to enhance their driving experience.

For Vauxhall, their trim levels are:

• Design – Design trim levels are often entry levels for Vauxhall cars. At this level, you will expect the essential technology and safety features with a decent selection of colours and other customisable options, and in modern models, you may find a basic digital display design.

• GS – GS trim levels tend to be the sporty version of the model. You may find a more refined but eye-catching style with upgraded seating and general cabin feel.

• Ultimate – The Ultimate trim level is the top-tier trim, offering premium technology and comfort. You will find that most exterior and interior features will be upgraded to not only make driving easier, but also to look aesthetically pleasing.

• GSE – The GSE version of each model is the Grand Sport Electric trim. The GSE trim level is Vauxhall’s premium and performance-focused flagship trim, which is above the Design, GS and Ultimate trim levels. It provides an excellent balance of electric powertrains with sporty and motorsport-inspired styling and advanced handling dynamics.

• Yes - You may see the YES trim level, which is seen on the Corsa and Mokka. The Yes trim level is the entry level to the Special Edition, offering features such as the PureSense bundle, electronic parking brake, heated steering wheel, the PureConnect bundle and more, depending on the model.

• Griffin – The Griffin is another special edition trim level, which focuses on technology, comfort and unique styling at an enhanced level. They are typically mid-tier, between the Design and GS trim level, depending on the model. You can find the Griffin on models such as the Grandland and Astra.  

Fuel Type 

Whether you prefer driving a petrol or an EV vehicle, Vauxhall offers its models in multiple fuel types, so you can still enjoy the model you like while matching your lifestyle requirements.

If you are considering switching to driving an electric or hybrid Vauxhall for the first time, you can explore their EV model range to see which you prefer. Learn more about charging an EV vehicle and compare the running costs to understand why it can be different to owning a petrol vehicle.  

Colours

Vauxhall is not afraid of offering bright colours across its model range, so your car can perfectly match your aesthetics.

Base colours tend to be Arctic White, Carbon Black and Graphic Grey; you can upgrade to fun colours, such as Coral Orange, Eucalyptus Green, Cobalt Blue, Tropical Green, Effect Blue, Impact Cooper and others.

If you are looking for a new Vauxhall car, check which colours are available for the model you are interested in picking which one you prefer. If you are looking for a used Vauxhall car, explore our currently available cars or vans and compare your options. If you have any preferences, let our team know, and we will do our best to adhere to your requirements.

Safety Features 

Vauxhall equips its models with multiple safety and convenience features which make driving their cars or vans feel like a breeze and provide excellent peace of mind.

Depending on the model and trim level you choose, features such as the Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist help prevent accidents and collisions.

Other features may include anti-lock braking, Traffic Sign Recognition and Driver Drowsiness Alert, which all act together to give you more control and awareness on the roads.

To make parking in tight or busy parking spots easier, experience the features of parking assistance and emergency braking to make it feel more hassle-free.

If you have specific requirements or concerns, feel free to reach out to the team, who can help explore which trim and model will best suit you.

Boot Size & Practical Space 

For holidays across the country, carrying your bags and shopping on your daily commute, practical space is essential for all drivers.

Though SUVs and vans are known for their large, spacious feel, hatchbacks can also provide you with enough space for whatever you need to carry. Vauxhall cars will be equipped with parcel shelves, which help you separate your belongings easily to make organisation work for you.

You can also fold down the rear seats in your car to make great use of the back of your vehicle when you are moving home or transporting larger objects.
