Vauxhall Motors

What Vauxhall Motors does

Vauxhall Motors is a British automotive manufacturer founded in 1903 and headquartered in Luton, England, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stellantis N.V. The company produces passenger cars — Corsa, Mokka, Frontera, Grandland, and Astra — and light commercial vehicles — Combo, Vivaro, and Movano — with electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engine variants across the lineup. Battery-electric offerings include the Mokka Electric, Corsa Electric, Frontera Electric, Grandland Electric, Vivaro Electric, and Movano Electric, alongside hybrid models such as the Astra Hybrid and Grandland Hybrid. Technical features include the Intelli-Lux HD adaptive lighting system, the Vizor front-end design language, and connected services delivered through MyVauxhall and Vauxhall Connect.

The company manufactures at UK facilities in Luton and Ellesmere Port, with Ellesmere Port designated for electric light commercial vehicle production following a £50 million investment. Product and platform development is shared with Stellantis sister brands including Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, and Fiat, providing scale economies on shared powertrains and components.

Vauxhall generates revenue through vehicle sales to retail customers, fleet operators, Motability disabled-driver scheme participants, and commercial-vehicle buyers. Distribution runs through a network of more than 300 retailers, with used vehicles sold through SPOTICAR. Strategic partnerships include Tesco for charging infrastructure rollout, Team GB for Olympic-period brand positioning, and a Leapmotor joint venture for a planned low-cost B-segment electric SUV. Forward product plans include a next-generation Astra around 2029-2030.
