Opel Astra Range Preview

Opel has revealed the all-new, sixth generation of the Astra.

The success story of Opel's bestseller began 30 years ago with the descendant of the legendary Kadett.

With the all-new Astra, the German manufacturer is now opening the next chapter: for the first time, the compact class model is available with electric drive.

Opel will offer the new Astra in two performance levels as a plug-in hybrid.

In addition, there are versions with highly efficient petrol and diesel engines in combination with friction-optimised six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions.

The new Opel Astra is also a design statement for the brand.

Dynamic as never before, with sheer, taut surfaces, detoxed of superfluous elements and with the new brand face – the Opel Vizor.

With the next compact class generation, Opel shows that the Astra is ready to define a new era.

The new Opel Astra will launch this year as a sporty five-door with a low-slung look and yet more space than its predecessor.

With a length of 4,374 millimetres and width of 1,860 mm, it hits the sweet-spot of the compact sector.

Thanks to the especially short front overhang, the new Astra is only 4.0 mm longer than the previous model, despite the considerably increased wheelbase of 2,675 mm (+13 mm).

Notwithstanding the muscular, confident stance, the new Astra’s practical boot with adjustable floor still offers the driver and four passengers 422 litres of luggage volume.
