I think the closest we have to a verified source comes in the
official press release from Vauxhall.
'VAUXHALL CONTINUES TO CHARGE! EIGHT ELECTRIFIED MODELS BY 2021'
In the release, they refer to the following as having electric variants:
Corsa-e, Grandland X Hybrid4.
Vivaro van, Mokka X, Combo, Combo Life, Vivaro Life, an electrified version of the next generation Astra.
So it seems that Vauxhall have confirmed an electric version of the Astra by the end of 2021, but whether this will carry a VXR badge is not mentioned.
