New Opel Astra, the bestseller is renewed

The new generation of the Opel Astra is enjoying considerable success on all the markets in which it was launched. For the German company this model represents one of the most important cars, a real milestone capable of making available premium features usually available on higher-end models.

Stefano Virgilio, head of communications at Opel Italia, wanted to highlight some of the salient features of the new Astra.
"Opel introduced a compact car for the first time in 1936, it was called Kadett, and so it continued until 1991 – explains Virgilio – We therefore have a lot of experience in this field, so that Astra, which is a milestone, an icon of this segment, has sold over one million units in Italy.
We introduced Opel Astra K in 2015, it was Auto of the Year 2016, thanks to a mix of new technologies, lightness and driving dynamics, it has been extremely appreciated since its launch by the sector experts who have it elected. "

However, the various innovations are not limited to the aesthetics of the car with the refinement and modernization of the design but also include substantial modifications from a technical point of view.

"The Opel Astra K has now been updated very deeply – continues Virgilio – Some details have changed in terms of design: a more modern front, with new bumpers and new" whiskers ", which go to embrace the Opel logo in the center, but most of the modifications have been made under the skin, it is in substance that Astra has changed very deeply.
The engines are now all completely new. They are all 3-cylinder, 1.2 and 1.4 petrol and 1.5 Diesel with various power levels, extremely efficient and light.
We have also introduced the 9-speed automatic transmission in this segment, as well as the continuously variable transmission, extremely fluid and very pleasant to drive ”.

There is also an injection of technology to make the new Astra safer in all situations and able to offer a real "driving pleasure".

“Many technological elements have also been introduced – concludes Virgilio – the LED matrix lights are a revolution from the point of view of lighting, because thanks to them the night visibility changes radically with respect to any system that has existed before.
New engines, new transmissions, new aerodynamics have led to an extremely significant reduction in emissions and consumption, up to 21% less.
Lots of news for an even more enjoyable drive to bring even more technology. It will be a new success, as it has always been for Astra in the past ”.

The new Opel Astra is available in a five-door version and a Sports Tourer with list prices starting at € 23,800 and € 24,800 respectively. (M.R.)
