Vauxhall launches GSe: A new performance electrified sub-brand
Vauxhall is taking another step on its journey to electrification by introducing GSe – a new top-of-the-range electrified performance sub-brand.
GSe will stand for Grand Sport Electric and offer athletic looks that build on Vauxhall’s Bold & Pure design as well as driver-focused chassis set-ups that complement the higher performance of an electrified powertrain whilst retaining the zero-emissions-in-use benefits.
Vauxhall is committed to going electric and will offer an electrified version of every model on sale by 2024 and only sell 100% electric vehicles from 2028.
The Vauxhall electric vehicle line-up comprises the Corsa Electric, Mokka Electric, Combo Life Electric and Vivaro Life Electric and will soon be joined Astra Electric and Astra Sports Tourer Electric. The Astra, Astra Sports Tourer and Grandland are available as Plug-in Hybrids.
James Taylor, Acting Managing Director, Vauxhall, commented: “GSe will offer sports handling and looks combined with the performance and responsibility of electrified powertrains. Sitting atop the newly simplified Vauxhall range, the GSe name is both a nod to GSi performance models from our heritage as well being a complement to the GS versions in our line-up today. Vauxhall is committed to electrifying Britain and GSe shows that performance and driving pleasure are set to be part of our electric future.”
According to Vauxhall, the manufacturer is the UK’s number one electric van brand and already offers an electric version of every van in the range. Vauxhall is committed to only offering electric cars and vans from 2028 – seven years ahead of the UK Government’s deadline.
