New Vauxhall Astra Offers

‘Bold and pure’ was the design goal for the Astra. It’s fair to say the car achieves its aim, having taken healthy inspiration from the athletic lines of the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo concept.

It begins with a seamless front assembly - the signature Vauxhall Vizor - that combines Intelli-Lux LED headlights with a 3D illuminated Griffin emblem. The clean and muscular shape is compact enough for tight city streets yet large enough to deliver total motorway stability.

Passengers enjoy a wealth of room in a cabin that confirms the Astra's premium design aspirations. A masterclass in what Vauxhall describes as ‘detoxed luxury’, the interior is perfectly clean and minimalist. Comfort is paramount, with massaging front seats reducing fatigue and increasing opulence on long journeys.

Hatchback variants offers a useful interior that can be configured to accommodate a family or to maximise cargo space in the generously proportioned boot, while a more practical Sports Tourer is also available for ultimate versatility.

The Astra’s petrol powertrain delivers punchy yet efficient performance. The refined 1.2-litre turbocharged engine has been optimised to provide more responsive and linear power delivery thanks to the smooth automatic gearbox it is paired with. 

Producing 130bhp, this engine offers more than enough oomph for urban commutes and open road adventures. The 0 to 62mph split of 9 seconds matches competing hatches, while maintaining excellent fuel economy.

Power is managed through a smooth-shifting gearbox, which comes in 6-speed manual or 8-speed auto variations. Whether you’re navigating stop-start city traffic or overtaking on a dual carriageway, the Astra is nippy and agile yet composed. It demonstrates Vauxhall’s internal combustion expertise, and proves that you don't need a power plug to enjoy a truly modern driving experience.

However, those that are interested in the greenest means of driving may find the all-electric Astra appealing.

To give the Astra range an even wider appeal, the new Sports Tourer estate features additional touches such as smarter loading, thanks to the advanced Intelli-Space system.

The new model sports innovative space, enhanced by lots of helpful attributes, including lashing-eyes, two-level flat load-floor, and clever underfloor storage lockers. The boot of the Astra Sports Tourer provides 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat-backs with easy-fold function, holding up to 608 litres of storage space with the rear seats upright, and up to 1,634 litres when folded. 

Step inside to find the new and improved digitally-detoxed Pure Panel that streamlines driver information. The Ergonomic Active Front Seats allow for a relaxing drive with the luxury ventilation and massage function.

Enjoy the welcome touch of space, technology, and premium comfort, thanks to new state-of-the-art connectivity.  

An all-electric powertrain for the Astra Sports Tourer is available too, making it the first fully electric estate model to be produced by Vauxhall.

The Astra GSe (Grand Sport Electric) models really stand out from the crowd and are the perfect mix of electric power and performance-focused design.

Both the Astra GSe and Astra Sports Tourer GSe have enhanced performance compared to the standard plug-in hybrid models. They are powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with an 81.2kW electric motor, delivering a combined output of 225bhp and 265lb ft of torque.

A 12.4kWh battery gives the Astra GSe models an electric-only range of up to 40 miles, while the Astra Sports Tourer GSe offers 39 miles of pure electric range (WLTP).

Upgrades to the suspension and steering, including a unique GSe-tuned setup with Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology, ensure sharper, more precise handling. Coupled with striking 18-inch 'Commodore' alloy wheels, the GSe models have a commanding and sportier presence on the road. 

Intelli-Drive technology is also a key safety feature, providing Forward Collision Alert, Drowsiness Detection, Traffic Sign Assistant, and Active Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.

The Vauxhall Astra needs to be seen and experienced to be fully appreciated. Sharp on the outside, serene on the inside, and with the mechanical reliability that British drivers have trusted for generations, this vehicle is a fitting evolution for an iconic model.
