Under the bonnet is a 1.4-litre petrol engine, which can be rated at either 74bhp or 89bhp and can achieve 49.6mpg. It’s paired to a five-speed manual transmission.

The Griffin has been used on the Vauxhall badge since 1915, after Harry Varley – an apprentice at the Vauxhall Motors company – won a two guinea prize for designing a heraldic emblem, and chose the coat of arms of Fulk le Breant as his inspiration.
