The Opel Astra Sports Tourer is a sleek wagon featuring first class practicality in an athletic and stylish shape. Sharing the same Opel design DNA and Sports Tourer name as its larger counterpart the Insignia, its good looks are combined with an ample flexible cargo carrying capability. Efficient trunk design and premium features that enhance the functionality effortlessly raise load space up to 1,550 liters.
The Opel Astra Sports Tourer makes its world premiere at the 2010 Paris Motor Show (October 2-24), and goes on sale in November 2010.
The Opel Astra Sports Tourer gives more benefit from the same harmoniously sculpted cabin as in the five-door hatchback. The wraparound wing front fascia and the flowing forms of the cockpit provide a great sense of space and security. The tapered profile and the prominent side blade-shaped sculpted into the flanks of the body combine to give the Sports Tourer a powerful sense of forward movement. A muscular shoulder line leads gracefully into eye-catching, sculpted rear light units.
The powertrain line-up includes eight vigorous yet frugal gasoline and diesel engines, ranging in power from 70 kW/95 hp to 132 kW/180 hp. A new addition is the 1.4-liter turbo gasoline unit, giving 88 kW/120 hp. It comes with a six-speed manual transmission. The 103 kW/140 hp version of the 1.4 Turbo engine is now also available with a six-speed automatic transmission.
It’s equipped Start/Stop technology and the first application is the new ecoFLEX variant with the 1.3 CDTI engine delivering 70 kW/95 hp.
