Brand history
Founded in 1857 by Alexander Wilson as Alex Wilson and Company, Vauxhall initially manufactured pumps and marine engines. In 1903, the company produced its first car, a five-horsepower model. In 1905, production moved to Luton, Bedfordshire, where the factory was established on Kimpton Road. In 1925, Vauxhall was acquired by American automaker General Motors. After 92 years under GM's ownership, Opel/Vauxhall was sold to PSA Group in 2017. (en.wikipedia.org)
Positioning
Vauxhall is one of the oldest British car manufacturers, offering a range of vehicles from city cars to SUVs. After its acquisition by PSA Group in 2017, Vauxhall strengthened its position in the UK market by offering rebadged Opel models while retaining distinctive features tailored to local preferences.

Photo recognition
To identify Vauxhall models, look for distinctive badges such as the Vauxhall logo, typically located at the front and rear of the vehicle. Recent models feature modern designs with bold front grilles and sleek lines. Vauxhall's electric and hybrid vehicles, like the Corsa-e, are distinguished by specific badges indicating their technology. (vauxhall.co.uk)

The Corsa, introduced in 1993, is a beloved city car with 3 variants available until 2023. The Frontera, a robust SUV, was produced in 3 variants from 1991 to 2025. (en.wikipedia.org)
