Opel Astra-e - The classic becomes all-electric

Have you remembered to sign up for our newsletter?

(Elbil24): It will soon not be possible to tell about a new car coming on the market, without telling that it will also come as an electric car. The latest in this respect is the Opel Astra, which has just been presented in a new version.

The car comes in both as plug-in hybrid and all-electric versions. And although it may seem a little unmusical these days; also in diesel and petrol versions – which Opel rightly claims should be very efficient.

While the all-electric version is on hold for a while longer, the other editions will be available for order already in October, with delivery until 2022.

The Opel Astra-e, which will be the name of the electric version, will not hit the roads until 2023.

Thus, it keeps up Stroke-e and Mokka-e, in addition to the vans Combo-e Life and Vivaro-e Life, which also come as multi-purpose vehicles.

Elbil24 has previously also mentioned manta-e, another electrified classic that many are very excited about.

New platform

The details of the Astra-e are not many at the moment, but in March Elbil24 was able to reveal that the Peugeot 308 will arrive as an electric car on a completely new platform.

We learned this from the project director for 308, Jérome Micheron, during a closed meeting. So what does this have to do with the Opel Astra? Yes, as you know, Opel was acquired by the PSA group, now Stellantis, which is part of Peugeot. They have already talked about their new eVMP platform, which will be the basis for the Peugeot e-308, among other things. The platform is dedicated to electric cars in the c- and d-segment, and both the Peugeot 308 and Opel Astra are cars in the c-segment.

Can get long range

As of now, it has been said that this platform will be able to house batteries with capacities in the range of 60 – 100 kWh, and offer a range of up to 650 kilometers.

The new platform is still far more than just a battery box, and includes, among other things, a completely new software, with everything it brings with it.

Inside, the car gets Astra’s next generation “Pure Panel”, with two horizontal screens set next to each other.

We can also count on new operating functions, and by all accounts the possibility of full-fledged OTA (Over The Air) updates.

Nevertheless, Opel is clear that the most important functions will still have physical buttons.

About 308 we know that it is 4.37 meters long. Astra is in the same segment, and we dare to predict it will be about the same size. The car will also get the new Vizor front, from a design language that we already know from Opel Mokka. Whether black armor and roof will be optional contrast details as we know it from Mokka is uncertain.

The interesting thing is that the car comes both as a five-door station wagon, and as a Sportstourer, or station wagon if you want.

Then the Astra-e will have an ace up its sleeve that no one else in this class can offer, apart from the upcoming Peugeot e-308 then. For the fully electric e-308, the launch is estimated in 2023, ie the same for the full electric Astra.
