The Vauxhall brand has announced the first models to launch with a GSe version, the all new Vauxhall Astra GSe and the all new Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer GSe. Both models will feature Vauxhall's plug-in hybrid powertrains and offer a balance between ride comfort and performance oriented handling, as well as ultra-low emissions.
With a total system power output of 222bhp and maximum torque of 360Nm, the all new Astra GSe and all new Astra Sports Tourer GSe will be competitive in their respective classes for launch from a standstill, acceleration and maximum speed.
Expect models with the GSe badge to possess agile and precise handling due to bespoke chassis tuning Vauxhall has achieved the performance oriented handling characteristics by equipping the all new Vauxhall Astra GSe models with a dedicated chassis that is 10mm lower than before. A unique GSe suspension setup, as well as unique steering calibration, offers more agile and precise handling characteristics.
The steering has also been calibrated for a sportier feel, while the unique springs and oil-filled dampers of the front and rear suspension are specially tuned not only for dynamic driving but also for comfort. The dampers feature frequency selective damping, which enables different damping characteristics at low and high frequencies.
