Opel’s new Astra here for 262-registration year

Opel’s new Opel Astra and new Opel Astra Sports Tourer will launch in Ireland in 
late Spring, just ahead of the 262-registration plate, offering customers a wide 
choice in powertrains including petrol hybrid, plug-in petrol hybrid, all-electric and 
diesel. Designed, engineered and built at Opel's headquarters in Rüsselsheim, prices 
and standard equipment for the Irish market will be announced closer to the launch. 
Power Choice 
With a strong legacy and customer base in Ireland, the multiple award-winning Astra 
has been a household name for decades on Irish shores. Equipped with the 58-kWh 
battery, with vehicle-to- load capability, the all-electric drivetrain offers an improved 
range of up to 454km. Customers can also choose from Astra with the electrified 
hybrid version with 107 kW (145 hp) system output, a plug-in hybrid variant with up 
to 82km combined electric range, or the ever-efficient 1.5 diesel powertrain. 
Lighting 
The Opel Intelli-Lux HD lighting, with more than 50,000 elements, is now available 
as an option for Astra drivers, illuminating the road at night. The high-resolution 
lighting technology not only ensures that other road users are not glared, it also is 
easy on the eyes of the Astra driver. 
Complementing its new distinctive front face lighting signature, new rim designs for 
the 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels are just as eye-catching as the new metallic paints 
‘Kontur White’ and ‘Klover Green’. Matched to the stylish new package, the optional 
contrasting black roof completes the sporty look. 
Seating 
Opel have introduced AGR Intelli-Seats as standard in every Astra model variant. 
They are characterised by a special recess running in the middle of the seat, which 
reduces pressure on the tailbone. 
At the same time, the cockpit and user interfaces for multimedia infotainment and 
other features have been made even clearer, more concise and more intuitive. New 
visualisations and graphics on the screens give the interior a more modern look. In 
terms of practicality, the driver can now read them more easily than before. 
Greenovation 
In line with Opel's ‘Greenovation’ approach, numerous resource-saving materials 
and surface structures are used in the Astra's interior: the steering wheel is 
completely covered with vegan materials, and the optional seat covers are made of 
ReNewKnitTM, a special mono- material offering a high-quality suede leather look. 

Luggage Space 
Depending on the variant, up to 1,339 litres of luggage can fit into the boot of the 
hatchback with the seats folded down. The Astra Sports Tourer offers a load volume 
of up to a maximum of 1,634 litres. In addition, the rear seat backrest in the 
compact-class estate can be flexibly folded down
