Nonetheless, the Crossland's successor is expected to continue to share its basic underpinnings with the Corsa in both electric and petrol guise, which effectively makes it Vauxhall's equivalent of the Jeep Avenger, Peugeot E-2008 and Citroën e-C4 - all of which use the same CMP platform.
Expect the electric version, then, to have a motor on the front axle giving 154bhp and 192lb ft, and a 51kWh battery between the wheels for a range of around 250 miles. The maximum charging speed of E-CMP-based EVs is currently 100kW, though it remains unclear if this could be boosted in the future. The petrol car will no doubt pack the same 1.2-litre mild-hybrid three-cylinder unit that has just been rolled out to the Corsa and its Peugeot 208 sibling, with a choice of either 99bhp or 134bhp.
Inside, the new Crossland will follow the Corsa and Astra in gaining a more visually upmarket, tech-heavy interface, which Vauxhall calls the Pure Panel. Instrumentation will no doubt all be digital as standard, and while some physical controls will surely remain, they will be tidied up for a more minimalist look.
