The GSe, Vauxhall’s New Electrified Performance Sub-Brand

Vauxhall GSe, Electric Performance Sub-Brand

Sparking its electrification journey a step forward with a new top-of-the-range electrified performance sub-brand, Vauxhall unveils the GSe.

When officially launched, the GSe will stand for ‘Grand Sport Electric’ and offer athletic looks that build on Vauxhall’s award-winning ‘Bold & Pure’ design.

It will also offer driver-focused chassis setups to match the higher performance of an electrified powertrain, while retaining the zero-emissions-in-use benefits.

Vauxhall’s acting managing director, James Taylor, remarked, “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 as being a complement to the GS versions in our line-up today.”

Currently, its electric vehicle line-up comprises the Corsa Electric, Mokka Electric, Combo Life Electric and Vivaro Life Electric.

These will soon be joined by the Astra Electric and Astra Sports Tourer Electric. Notably, the Astra, Astra Sports Tourer and Grandland are available as plug-in hybrids. 

Being fully committed to going electric, Vauxhall will offer an electrified version of every model on sale by 2024 and only sell 100% electric vehicles from 2028.

Taylor concluded, “Vauxhall is committed to electrifying Britain, and GSe shows that performance and driving pleasure are set to be part of our electric future.”

That being said, further details on Vauxhall’s new GSe electrified performance sub-brand will be announced in due course.
