Each Vauxhall Astra VXR Arctic Edition comes in Olympic White piant, while black is used for the roof, front grille, mirror housings and boot trim. Also included are heated leather Recaro front seats, tinted glass and 19-inch alloys. A panoramic windscreen is a £920 option.

Power and performance are unchanged from the standard car’s, so the Arctic Edition’s 237bhp, 236lb ft 2.0-litre engine helps propel the car from 0-60mph in 6.2sec and reach a top speed of 152mph.
