The new Astra Saloon

Rear Design

This new version of the successful Opel Astra continues the evolution of the dynamic Opel design language. The all new saloon is almost 23 cm longer than the hatchback, but because of its roofline the saloon seems much longer. This effect is enhanced by the crease line running through the door handles to the rear light clusters, and the dynamic shape of the side window area. Because the c-pillar stretches so far back into the rear deck, it cleverly conceals the existence of a vast luggage compartment – 90 litres more than in the hatchback.

FRONT DESIGN

The slim, sharp “eagle-eye” headlight treatment, combined with the wide, low radiator grille, make an immediate impact and underline one thing: Precision.

A wing-shaped chrome bar carrying the Opel logo with the traditional flash – adding extra style to the upper grille. The fog lamps are separated from the turn indicators and recreate the design philosophy of the bi-Xenon headlamps.

A low, wide radiator grille highlights the wide stance that emphasizes the sturdiness and sporting capability. To bring the front design to perfection, the registration plate holder has been seamlessly integrated in the bumper.

INNOVATIVE LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFL+)

The new Astra is the first car in its class to offer intelligent Bi-Xenon Adaptive Forward Lighting Plus (AFL+) headlights, the award-winning AFL system from Opel. AFL makes driving at night just as comfortable as during the day.

FLEXRIDE CHASSIS TECHNOLOGY

A mode for every mood: With just a touch of the FlexRide button, you can change the whole driving dynamics – from ‘Sport’ to ‘Tour’ and back again. Using Continuous Damping Control (CDC) technology, FlexRide automatically adjusts the dampers to give you excellent road holding. When driving sporty, Watt’s linkage* stabilises the rear axle by reducing unwanted lateral movement.

*Standard only with specific trimlines and engines. For more details, please contact your Opel dealer.

ENGINES

For Astra drivers, the wide choice of reliable and fuel-efficient engines is one of the great attractions of the line-up. It’s reassuring to know each one is designed and built by German engineers.

The all new Astra saloon is available also with the environmentally aware ecoFLEX Technology Pack that significantly lowers fuel consumption, running costs and emissions – amongst others through Start/Stop technology and brake energy recovery.

CERTIFIED ERGONOMIC SEATS

These optional front seats were crafted by Opel and found by independent experts at Germany’s prestigious AGR organisation to be perfect for your back. They let you separately fine-tune the lumbar cushion in four directions to give your upper body extra support - which is especially great on longer trips.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL

The heated steering wheel warms within seconds of starting – no gloves required at any time of the year – a distinct safety factor and a pleisure to touch.
