Vauxhall
British car brand founded in 1857, sold in the UK only since the 1980s. Shares its entire modern lineup with Opel and has been part of Stellantis since 2021.
Vauxhall traces its roots to 1857 as a London engineering firm before moving into car manufacturing in the early 1900s. General Motors acquired the brand in 1925 and ran it for over 90 years, withdrawing it from every market except the UK and Ireland in the early 1980s once its cars became badge-engineered versions of GM’s German Opel brand. GM sold both Opel and Vauxhall to France’s PSA Group in 2017; PSA’s 2021 merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles created Stellantis, Vauxhall’s current owner.
Today Vauxhall’s lineup, from the Corsa supermini to the Astra, Mokka and Grandland, is shared model-for-model with Opel and increasingly built on Stellantis’s common CMP and e-CMP platforms alongside petrol, hybrid and electric powertrains. Vauxhall’s historic Luton car-assembly plant closed in March 2025, and remaining UK production is limited to commercial vehicles at Ellesmere Port.
