The Vauxhall Magnum is a distinctive compact saloon produced by Vauxhall throughout the mid-1970s to early 1980s. As a sportier variant of the Vauxhall Viva and later the Astra, the Magnum offered enhanced performance, unique styling cues, and practical dimensions suitable for drivers seeking a blend of economy and driving pleasure. Across its generations, the car's size remained relatively consistent, balancing urban maneuverability with comfortable interior space. The Magnum's evolution reflects Vauxhall's focus on compact performance sedans during this era.
