As the sales of the new Vauxhall Ampera – the European (or British) version of Chevrolet Volt – begins, the car maker announced final pricing and specifications of this highly anticipated EV. The base model is called the Ampera Earth, and it starts at £29,995 including Plug in Car Grant. The Nissan LEAF can start panicking right now, because unlike that, the Ampera has a range-extender engine, and therefore big range.

The Ampera is very well-equipped too. The entry-level Earth comes with features such as DAB, 7-inch touch screen display and bluetooth, while the higher grade – Positiv and Electron – add high-end equipments such as Park Assist, leather seats and steering, heated seats, Bose sound system and hard drive-based navigation.The Earth is available to order in four exterior colours and is offered with a black cloth trim.

The Ampera goes on sale through a network of 24 retailers, each of which has four specialists, two in sales and two in aftersales. The retailers also provide a free collection and delivery service for scheduled servicing, warranty and repair work.
