Yes, agreed. An error in my post.
I should have said 'hybrid Astra expected to be in 2021'.
If Vauxhall are genuinely interested in reviving the VXR, I'd expect this to be a 1.6L/48V hybrid designed to hit a low 0-60, appealing to the Max Power crowd.
Although seeing as how more recent SRi variants have targeted the mid-life crisis crowd longing for the return of a Cavalier SRi, but ending up with a bottom-spec, underpowered barge, it wouldn't surprise me if VXR becomes a trim, like Zetec.
