Who is Vauxhall?
Vauxhall is a British car brand within Stellantis, the international group that also owns Opel. The two brands are closely related, while Vauxhall is the name familiar to British motorists. The company traces its roots to London and is known for a broad range of everyday cars and vans, from small hatchbacks to family models and commercial vehicles.
The model picture here spans 2000–2026 and includes 28 nameplates. It reaches beyond the familiar Corsa and Astra: Vauxhall has also offered small city cars, coupés, convertibles, people carriers, SUVs, vans and sports cars. That breadth gives the range a practical, varied character.
What are Vauxhall’s main model lines?
The Corsa and Astra are the enduring passenger-car anchors. Both run across the full period shown, and both appear among the most registered Vauxhall models in EU figures for 2010–2020. The Corsa is the biggest by that measure, followed by the Astra. The Insignia added a larger family-car option, while the Vectra served in that role earlier in the period.
For families needing more room, Vauxhall offered the Zafira and later the Zafira Tourer, alongside the smaller Meriva. The SUV line includes the Mokka, its Mokka X successor, the Crossland X and Grandland X, followed by the Grandland name. The Combo, Vivaro and Movano broaden the range into vans; passenger-focused versions include Combo Life and Vivaro Life.
How did the range change over time?
The line-up shifted from a mix of hatchbacks, saloons, MPVs and vans towards a stronger SUV presence. The Zafira and Meriva names end within the period, while the Mokka continues beyond the shorter Mokka X run. Crossland X and Grandland X arrive in the same broad period, and Grandland appears under a shorter name later on.
There were also more distinctive branches: the Tigra coupé, Cascada convertible, Adam city car and VX220 sports car each brought a different shape to the range. Names such as Astra, Corsa and Frontera span the whole period shown, though a long-running name can cover several generations of very different cars.
Where do Vauxhall cars appear, and what about electrification?
The market figures presented here are for the European Union, using EEA registrations, and the United Kingdom, using VCA figures. Among EU registrations from 2010–2020, the Corsa and Astra lead the listed models, with the Insignia, Mokka and Zafira also prominent. European and British consumption or emissions figures need care when compared: Europe has used WLTP and NEDC procedures, while the USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses a 5-cycle procedure.
Electrification appears in the model history through the Ampera, listed from 2012–2015. It sits alongside a range that otherwise includes conventional passenger cars and commercial vehicles, showing that Vauxhall’s story covers more than one kind of car or powertrain.
