The new performance models will take their inspiration from Vauxhall's old GSi models, but the shift will be towards hybrid and electric powertrains.
One of the first GSE models to arrive in UK showrooms will be a 225PS version of the All-New Vauxhall Astra Plug-In Hybrid.
These new performance cars will build on existing trims from the already range-topping GS Line trims, but will offer enhanced performance and handling.
James Taylor, acting managing director at Vauxhall and Stellantis fleet director, said:
“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 being a complement to the GS versions in our line-up today. Vauxhall is committed to electrifying Britain and GSe shows that performance and driving pleasure are set to be part of our electric future.”
