NEW OPEL ASTRA 2022 - (HYBRID) ELECTRIFIED FOR THE FIRST TIME AS A PLUG-IN HYBRID AT TWO PERFORMANCE

 

ENGINES AND RELEASE DATE:

Astra goes electric for the first time with powerful plug-in hybrids

The new Astra will be available from the start of sales with a powerful plug-in hybrid electric transmission as well as highly efficient gasoline and diesel engines, electrifying Opel's compact model for the first time in the brand's history. Power ranges from 81 kW (110 hp) to 96 kW (130 hp) with the petrol and diesel variants and up to 165 kW (225 hp) of system power with the plug-in hybrid variants. A six-speed gearbox is standard on petrol and diesel power units, with an eight-speed automatic transmission (electrified on plug-in hybrids) optional on more powerful engines. Opel will open the order book for the new Astra this fall. The first customers will receive their cars early next year. Astra electrified for the first time as a plug-in hybrid at two performance levels Bold, pure design with Vizor and optional two-tone paint finish Pure Panel full digital cockpit with widescreen displays and intuitive controls Efficient engines with 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic transmissions The newest Intelli-Lux LED® Pixel light with 168 LED elements Numerous automated assistance systems for high safety and comfort Ergonomic seats with AGR certification, optionally in leather and Alcantara Designed, developed and manufactured at Opel headquarters in Germany The new Opel Astra will be launched this year as a five-door sports car with a lowered look and even more space than its predecessor. With a length of 4,374mm and a width of 1,860mm, it hits the sweet spot in the compact industry. Thanks to the especially short front overhang, the new Astra is just 4.0 mm longer than the previous model, despite the considerably increased wheelbase of 2,675 mm (+13 mm). Despite the muscular and confident posture, the practical trunk of the new Astra with adjustable floor still offers the driver and four passengers 422 liters of luggage volume. For example, the Astra can turn night into day: the latest evolution of the adaptive Intelli-Lux LED® Pixel light comes straight from the Opel Insignia flagship and, with 168 LED elements, leads the compact and midsize market sectors . The driver is supported by state-of-the-art assistance systems ranging from the head-up display to the semi-automated Intelli-Drive 2.0 assistance system and the Intelli-Vision 360 degree camera. #OPEL #ASTRA #CARS-AUTOMOTIVE
