VAUXHALL ANNOUNCES NEW VISIONARY STX CONCEPT CAR

• New chapter: Vauxhall STX Concept previews the future of the estate car
• Bold and pure: Concept will showcase the next evolution of Vauxhall’s design language
• Practical and flexible: Latest Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer continues long tradition of innovative Vauxhall estates
• STX Concept will debut at Paris Motor Show 2026

Vauxhall has confirmed that its new concept car will be named the Vauxhall STX Concept. The concept will celebrate its world premiere at the ‘Mondial de l’Auto’ in Paris, alongside sister brand Opel.

The name STX stands for Sports Tourer eXperimental, associating the concept with Vauxhall’s long-standing Sports Tourer line-up. The STX Concept also signals the brand’s vision for the future of the estate car, while previewing the next evolution of Vauxhall’s bold and pure design language.

Vauxhall played a pioneering role in establishing the estate body style in the UK with the introduction of the Victor F Estate in 1958, marking the beginning of the brand's long history of practical and innovative factory-built estate cars.

Today, the New Astra Sports Tourer continues that tradition, combining distinctive design, advanced technology, and everyday versatility. Thanks to its sophisticated design, featuring a narrower, more precise Vauxhall Vizor, a permanently illuminated Griffin, and the illuminated Compass design signature, the New Astra Sports Tourer can comfortably double as a stylish family car or as an eye-catching workhorse that offers up to 1,634 litres of load volume with a choice of fully electric, plug-in hybrid, hybrid, and petrol powertrains.

Florian Huettl, Opel-Vauxhall CEO, said: “As the name indicates, the STX Concept will give our vision of the future of an aero-efficient estate – a body style that Opel and Vauxhall played a pioneering role in establishing in Europe. It shows our next-generation design language and feature elements that you will see in future production models.”

The STX Concept will receive its world premiere at 11.40 CEST on Monday, 12th October at the Paris Motor Show 2026. Further details on the new concept car will follow closer to the world premiere.
