This week on Buckle Up, Jasper is joined by Rob at the SMMT North Drive Day, where he takes a Vauxhall Astra Ultimate 130 PS out for a spin. This is the first Astra designed under the watchful eye of Stellantis and the car has now moved onto an all new platform shared with Peugeot. Have Opel/Vauxhalls engineers done enough to distinguish this family hatchback or is it now the victim of lazy badge engineering?

Up against rivals such as the VW Golf, Ford Focus, Renault Megane, Peugeot 308, Citroen C4, Mercedes Benz A-Class, Audi A3, BMW 1 Series, Skoda Octavia, Seat Leon, Alfa Romeo Giulietta, Fiat Tipo, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Kia C'eed, Lexus CT, Mazda 3, MG4, Nissan Leaf, Volvo V40 and Volkswagen ID.3 does the Vauxhall stand out in this highly competitive class?
