Hot car deal: striking Vauxhall Astra hatchback for just £164 per month

The Vauxhall Astra hatchback has never been considered much of a style icon, but the eighth-generation model – launched in 2021 – has transformed into a sharp-looking family hatch with impressive technology and useful practicality. You can ditch any thoughts of lacklustre, uninspiring design, because the latest Astra has a modern look with strong lines that create a genuinely striking appearance, while it’s fun to drive, too. The Astra is now a capable contender in its class, and one we’d recommend taking some time to consider.

What’s so good about this Vauxhall Astra deal? 

This two-year deal from Leasing Options lets you cover up to 5,000 miles a year with an initial payment of £1,966.08, followed by monthly instalments of £163.84. If you’d prefer a little more flexibility, you can alter the term length or the agreed mileage, although it means you’ll almost certainly end up paying a little extra for the privilege.

Offered in sporty GS trim, this particular Astra model includes 17-inch alloys, LED headlights, a keyless start/stop function, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree parking camera, dual-zone climate control, a heating function for the steering wheel and front seats, and Vauxhall’s Pure Panel Navigation system which comprises two 10-inch displays – one controlling driver information and the other central screen for the infotainment, which includes wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity.

Power comes from a 1.2-litre petrol engine, producing 128bhp via a six-speed manual gearbox. 0-62mph takes 9.7 seconds, while Vauxhall claims you should benefit from average fuel economy of up to 52.3mpg.

What’s so good about the Vauxhall Astra?

Previous iterations of the Vauxhall Astra have never been particularly desirable, but this eighth-generation model visually packs a punch that helps it go toe-to-toe with rivals such as the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Mazda 3 and perhaps even the ever-popular Volkswagen Golf. Generous levels of standard kit, decent fuel economy and a practical five-door body style mean the Vauxhall Astra is one to look at – particularly when you consider it’ll cost you just £164 per month.

Anything else I need to know about this deal?

This is a lease deal, often referred to as Personal Contract Hire (PCH), so there’s no option to buy the car at the end of the contract. You are effectively renting the car for the two-year term, but the deal is very flexible so you can adjust the term length, mileage limit and initial payment size to suit, but only at the outset. Once the deal is over, you just hand the keys back and start looking for your next car.
