WHAT MAKES DRIVER POWER UNIQUE?
Unlike awards based on expert opinion alone, Driver Power gathers feedback from real car owners who live with their vehicles every day. Respondents rate their cars across areas that truly matter—from how comfortable the seats are to how often they visit the garage—making this one of the most trusted indicators of vehicle satisfaction in the UK.
A PROUD MOMENT FOR A BRITISH BRAND
With both the Grandland and Astra designed with British drivers in mind and built to meet the demands of modern motoring, this result solidifies Vauxhall’s place as a top choice for UK car buyers—whether they're looking for a practical SUV or a refined family hatchback.
