Vauxhall wants to be an electric-only car brand in just five years’ time, and now we’ve a better idea of what those EVs will look like.
Such a gaze into the future comes thanks to the company’s new Experimental concept, which Vauxhall says gives a “clear vision” for what its upcomingelectric carswill look like. The production cars will no doubt be a bit softer, and look less like they’ve just driven off the set of a new Tron movie, but if they retain the overall design we’ll be seriously impressed.
Vauxhall describes the design as “progressive British” and explains how the concept features the same “Vizor” design as we’re starting to see on its current road cars. For the concept this section houses the super-slim LED headlights and central badge, plus all of the lidar, radar and cameras systems you’d expect of an EV from the 2030s.

To be revealed in public at IAA Mobility – also known as the German motor show – in Munich in early-September, the Experimental has an noticeable lack of chrome detailing. Instead, Vauxhall says, “the addition of exterior lighting and bold contrasting graphics add personality and sophistication to the already impressive proportions.”
The massive wheels of this concept help to make the Vauxhall Experimental look more coupe-like, but we suspect if such a car made mass-production it’d be taller than these images suggest. Speaking of the wheels, Vauxhall says how the concept has tyres developed in cooperation with Goodyear and made from recycled rubber, while the three-zone ‘Ronal’ wheels have “active features to increase aerodynamic efficiency”.

Lastly there’s the Pure Pad, which is a touchscreen that sits ahead of the front armrest and can be configured according to the driver’s preferences and gives them quick access to their most-used functions.
“The Vauxhall Experimental gives an outlook on upcoming models and technologies, on the future design, even on a new era and the future of the brand. This stunning concept car represents a guiding light and showcases once again Vauxhall’s pioneering spirit,” said Vauxhall managing director James Taylor.
