Today we are dealing with a German, but not just any German, we are talking about the new Opel Astra. Like many other European car brands, Opel also seems to be at the beginning of a drastic change in its catalog, and in fact the novelties begin to show immediately with this brand new Opel Astrawhich on this occasion is enriched with certainly interesting elements, let’s discover them together…
We could spend many words on this now historic car of the German house. The Opel Astra has always been one of the best cars in terms of compactness and usability. Will the German engineers and designers have managed to re-propose these characteristics taking into account the complete change this model will undergo?
The Astra can boast a history that includes more than thirty years of success, with the first model of the series being presented in 1991. This first version will be followed by 5 more, up to the very recent 2021 model still in production. Over time, these re-propositions have definitively consecrated the Opel Astra as the main competitor of the undisputed queen of the C segment, or the Volkswagen Golf.
In short, the Opel Astra has come a long way and now the time has also come for the central European brand to project itself towards the future, with new cars that adapt to the needs of the new car markets, more focused on environmental sustainability and low consumption.
New Opel Astra, complete revolution.
The first rumors and the first details concerning the new arrival of the German company have therefore arrived in these days. The main changes will concern the engines and could leave many speechless.
In fact, exactly in the wake of other major automotive groups, Opel is grappling with the presentation of new eco-sustainable models. Hence the very important choice to present the new Astra with an electric motor. For those interested in performance, don’t despair because they won’t be affected in the slightest, with the car that will be able to reach a speed of 170 km/h with a battery range declared at 415 km.
The news, however, continues, with the interior of the car that will not be bound by the presence of the battery. In fact, we will have a trunk of 516 liters of volume available, which can be extended to 1533 liters with the seats folded down.
For technology enthusiasts, on the other hand, we will be able to enjoy an absolutely enviable multimedia system, with no less than 2 10-inch touch screens, through which it will be possible to access all the functions offered by the car. In short, we await this new version of the Astra with great curiosity and at this point we can’t wait to test it directly on the road…
