> Radical-looking electric car concept ‘has production potential’
> Low-cost to appeal to young/teenage drivers
> 60-mile range
> 75mph top speed

Vauxhall/Opel revealed a striking concept with ‘production potential’ at Septembers Frankfurt Motor show that could revolutionise urban transport, especially for younger drivers and those on a very tight budget.

A battery-powered electric vehicle, the low, rakish concept will be highly affordable, have a 60-mile range and be capable of 75mph, making even the odd motorway trip feasible.

Yet despite its aesthetic appeal, the concept will be practical, affording two seats in a tandem layout, and its light weight – around a third of a small modern car’s – would allow it to be agile and fun to drive.

Inspired by the Ampera, the concept has the potential to create a new class of light-weight, low-emissions electric vehicles in the UK and Europe.

Introducing the Vauxhall Mokka, the all-new sub-compact SUV, which will represent a bold step into new territory when it’s unveiled at this year’s Geneva Motor Show in March.

The fresh, purposeful design combines with exceptional practicality, offering a choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The Vauxhall Mokka will be available towards the end of 2012.

Vauxhall has scored an impressive brace at the What Van?Awards 2011 with Corsavan winning the Small Van of the Year honour and the Luton-based manufacturer’s ecoFLEX range picking up the Green Award.

Vauxhall’s industry-first ecoFLEX van range scooped What Van?’s Green gong. Back in January, Vauxhall was the first commercial vehicle manufacturer to feature an eco-model for each van in its range including Corsavan, Astravan, Combo, Vivaro and Movano.

We are once again offering a comprehensive range of accessories in preparation for the winter months, including the popular and highly effective AutoSock Snow Socks, tyre covers to get you out of a slippery situation in snowy and icy conditions.

AutoSocks Snow Socks sold out rapidly in 2010 and Vauxhall was one of the first car retailer groups to offer the innovative product, which give motorists assistance in making unavoidable or emergency joourneys more safely. They are less bulky and awkward than snow chains and simply slip over the driving wheels of a vehicle and work by creating friction.

AutoSock SNow Socks are available from £49.95 RRP and can be used on all makes and models of vehicles. We also have a great SERVICE OFFER which INCLUDES FREE SNOW SOCKS plus a range of Autoglym products including De-Icer and Concentrated Screenwash

Sculptural artistry and precision – the Vauxhall Ampera’s sleek aerodynamics contribute to tailpipe emission-free battery powered driving. No sacrifices for driver or passengers: the Ampera offers the space, comfort, and convenience of a modern car with five doors, four seats and a storage capacity of 300 litres.

The art of aerodynamics - Sporty aerodynamics help maximise the driving range. The airflow around the fascia and outside mirrors has been optimised; the rear has a specifically designed spoiler and clean separation features.

Lightweight materials are used such as clear polycarbonate covers on the front grille and the disk inserts on the 17-inch, five-spoke sport alloy wheels. These help to reduce aerodynamic drag in critical airflow areas.
