The **Opel Astra** is a [compact car](/source/Compact_car)/[small family car](/source/Small_family_car) ([C-segment](/source/C-segment)) developed and produced by the German automaker [Opel](/source/Opel) since 1991, currently at its sixth generation. It was first launched in September 1991 as a direct replacement to the [Opel Kadett](/source/Opel_Kadett). As of 2025[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Opel_Astra&action=edit), the car slots between the smaller [Corsa](/source/Opel_Corsa) [supermini](/source/Supermini) and the larger [Frontera](/source/Opel_Frontera_(2024)) subcompact [crossover SUV](/source/Crossover_SUV).

## Overview

Initially, the Astra was available in [hatchback](/source/Hatchback), [saloon](/source/Sedan_(automobile)), and [estate](/source/Station_wagon) (station wagon; known as the Astra Caravan, later the Sports Tourer) forms. A [panel van](/source/Panel_van) ([sedan delivery](/source/Sedan_delivery); Astravan) and a [convertible](/source/Convertible) (Astra Cabrio) also appeared in the early 1990s. These body styles were later followed by a [coupé](/source/Coup%C3%A9) (the Astra GTC) in 2004, and the sporty Astra OPC appeared in 2005. The Twin Top [retractable hardtop convertible](/source/Retractable_hardtop) replaced the soft top convertible in 2006, while the Caravan was renamed to Astra Sports Tourer since 2009.

The Astra is branded the [Vauxhall Astra](/source/Vauxhall_Astra) in the United Kingdom. It was rebadged and sold as the **Saturn Astra** in North America between 2008 and 2009, as the [Buick Excelle XT](/source/Buick_Excelle_XT) from 2009 until 2015 and as the [Buick Verano/Hatchback GS](/source/Buick_Verano_(China)) in China from 2015 until 2021. The [Holden Astra](/source/Holden_Astra) was discontinued in Australia and New Zealand in 2009, and was replaced by the locally assembled [Holden Cruze](/source/Holden_Cruze). It briefly returned to the Australian market in 2012, for the first time badged as an Opel,[1] but was discontinued after Opel withdrew from the country a year later.[2] In 2015, Opel reintroduced the Astra GTC and Astra VXR to Australia and New Zealand in 2015, again bearing the [Holden](/source/Holden) badge. Between 2017 and 2019, the Astra nameplate was also used for the Holden version of the Cruze sedan.[3][4]

After Opel was sold by [General Motors](/source/General_Motors) to [PSA Group](/source/PSA_Group), the Astra K continued to be produced under license until it was replaced by the Astra L. The Astra L was released after the merger of the company to form [Stellantis](/source/Stellantis).[5][6][7]

The Astra nameplate originates from [Vauxhall](/source/Vauxhall_Motors), which had manufactured and marketed earlier generations of the [Opel Kadett](/source/Opel_Kadett) (the Kadett D and [Kadett E](/source/Opel_Kadett_E)) as the **Vauxhall Astra** since March 1980. Subsequent [GM Europe](/source/GM_Europe) policy standardised model nomenclature in the early 1990s, whereby model names were the same in all markets regardless of the marque they were sold under.

As of 2021, there have been six generations of the Astra (or eleven generations of the Kadett/Astra family as a whole). In a fashion typical for Opel, they are designated with subsequent letters of the [Latin alphabet](/source/Latin_alphabet). Opel's official convention is that the Astra is a logical continuation of the Kadett lineage, thus, the first generation of Opel Astra became the *Astra F* rather than the Astra A since the final Opel Kadett was the Kadett E. The Mk1 and Mk2 Vauxhall Astras are sometimes called the *Astra D* and *Astra E* by enthusiasts to mark the continuity with their sister models.

Models sold as Vauxhall, [Holden](/source/Holden), or [Chevrolet](/source/Chevrolet) have different generation designations reflecting the history of those nameplates in their home markets and their naming conventions.

## First generation (Astra F – T91; 1991)

The **Astra F** debuted in September 1991. With the Kadett E's successor, Opel adopted the Astra nameplate, which was already used by Vauxhall for the Kadett D and E (see [Vauxhall Astra](/source/Vauxhall_Astra)). It was offered as a three- or five-door [hatchback](/source/Hatchback), a [saloon](/source/Sedan_(automobile)) (sedan), and an [estate](/source/Station_wagon) (wagon) known as the Caravan and available with five doors only, bringing Opel's run of three-door wagons to an end at long last. The Caravan appeared in October 1991, immediately after the original introduction, as did the sporty, 16-valve GSI model with its aggressive bodykit.[9] A [cabriolet](/source/Convertible) was also offered, designed, and built by [Bertone](/source/Gruppo_Bertone) in Italy.

Compared to the Kadett, the Astra grew slightly in all dimensions except the wheelbase. The windshield was moved forward by 7.5 cm (3 in) while the roof was extended the same amount at the rear, meaning a significant increase in interior volume.[10]

The Astra F received a cosmetic facelift in 1994,[11] accompanied by improved rust protection. This included a new grille with a larger Opel badge, clear front turn signals, new door mirrors (replacing the earlier Kadett E units used on the pre-facelift model), and a generally smoothed-out appearance. While the Astra F finished production in Germany in 2000, Polish-built Astras remained on offer in [Central](/source/Central_Europe) and Eastern Europe, as well as Turkey, India and Asia with the name Opel Astra Classic from 1999 to 2003.[12]

The Astra F consisted of two main revisions and was revised in 1995, with the launch of Opel's new [Ecotec](/source/Ecotec) engine.

Aside from the South Africa-only 200tS, the lead model was the GSi – a 2.0-litre 16V fuel injected model with 150 PS (110 kW), available as a three-door only. It also featured a sports body kit and widened front seats in the interior. However, this was substituted in 1995 and was renamed as *SPORT*, although only a limited number were produced and the body kit was removed also and it could be selected with the lower-powered, but more modern '[Ecotec](/source/Ecotec)' version, the 136 PS (100 kW; 134 bhp) [X20XEV](/source/X20XEV) parallel with the [C20XE](/source/C20XE). In Europe from 1994 all Astra models were offered with the 2.0 L 16V [Ecotec](/source/Ecotec) [X20XEV](/source/X20XEV) parallel with the eight-valve [C20NE](/source/C20NE) engine, but the three-door and station wagon models could be selected with the 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) [C20XE](/source/C20XE) engine.

After the Astra F was replaced by the new generation Astra G in 1998, the so-called "REDTOP" [C20XE](/source/C20XE) engine was also taken out of production.

### South African models

The model was also launched in South Africa in November 1991, where it was produced under licence by [Delta](/source/Delta_Motor_Corporation). The "Kadett" name was retained for the hatchback Astras until 2000. The sedan and station wagon models were offered under the Astra name. The Kadett and Astra in South Africa won the title of 'Car of the Year' in two consecutive years (1994 and 1995) even though they were versions of the same car.[13] South African nomenclature was denoted in centilitres, so the Astra and Kadett ranges featured 140, 160i, 180i and 200i models. Models with fuel injection received the "i" designation, while carburetor models didn't. Additional model designation was listed after the displacement with the inclusion of the letters "S" for sport or "E" for executive. Sport trim was typically for the Kadett (hatchback) model and included a different front bumper with spotlights and a rear spoiler. Executive derivatives included a higher specification level than non-executive models. The top variant in the Kadett (hatchback) model was the 200iS which featured a 2.0 SOHC 8v engine producing 95kw while the top spec Astra (sedan) derivative featured a 2.0 16v DOHC engine producing 110kw. The South African lineup also included a unique limited edition variant with a [turbocharged](/source/Turbocharged) [C20LET](/source/C20LET) engine called the 200tS offered in either Kadett (hatchback) or Astra (sedan) derivatives and was only available for two model years (1994-1995) and in limited numbers.[14] The 200tS was built by [Delta Motor Corporation](/source/Delta_Motor_Corporation) and faster than the then-current [BMW M3](/source/BMW_M3#E30_generation_(1986–1991)) in a quarter-mile drag race.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The "t" stands for the turbocharger. The engine was sourced from the 4x4 [Opel Calibra](/source/Opel_Calibra) and [Opel Vectra](/source/Opel_Vectra) and converted from a six-speed, four-wheel drive transmission ([Getrag F28](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Getrag_F28&action=edit&redlink=1)) to front-wheel drive only with a limited slip differential. The 200tS was unique from other Kadett and Astra models as it used a 5 bolt wheel hub (all other cars used a 4 bolt hub), it also featured 16" alloy wheels same as were on Vectra Turbo and Calibra Turbo.

### Other markets

The Opel Astra also became available in Australasia badged as a [Holden](/source/Holden), first in New Zealand in 1995, and then Australia in 1996. These models were imported from the UK. The [Holden Astra](/source/Holden_Astra) name had previously been used on rebadged [Nissan Pulsar](/source/Nissan_Pulsar) models from 1984 to 1989.

The Opel Astra's first generation was exported to Brazil from December 1994 as the Chevrolet Astra, possibly because of a lowering of import tariffs. [General Motors do Brasil](/source/General_Motors_do_Brasil) sent the 2.0-litre, 115 bhp engines to Belgium, whence the completed cars took their way to Brazil. In February 1996 the Brazilian government again changed the import tariff, from 20 to 70% - making the car prohibitively expensive and leading to its cancellation after just over a year on the market.[15] Instead, the locally built Kadett was updated. The second-generation Astra was manufactured in Brazil.

Beginning in March 1995, the Astra sedan was assembled in Indonesia where it was marketed as the **Opel Optima**.[16] The renaming was done as the global name was already used by [Astra International](/source/Astra_International), a local automotive company and an assembler/distributor of several competing car brands. In India the Opel Astra was assembled for the local market in a joint venture with the [Birla Companies](/source/CK_Birla_Group), beginning in 1996.[17] Indian production ended in 2002.

The first-generation Chevrolet Astra in Brazil had a [Vauxhall](/source/Vauxhall_Motors)-style front grille featuring a "V", containing the Chevrolet badge.[18]

The **Astra G** was launched in Europe in Spring of 1998. It was available as a three or five-door hatchback, four-door [saloon](/source/Sedan_(car)), five-door [estate](/source/Station_wagon) (in [Opel](/source/Opel) tradition, known as a "Caravan") and two special versions from 2000: the Astra [Coupé](/source/Coup%C3%A9) and the Astra [Cabrio](/source/Convertible_(car)), both of them designed and built by [Bertone](/source/Gruppo_Bertone).[22] The Astra G saw the introduction of a [natural gas](/source/Natural_gas)-powered engine. Its chassis was tuned by [Lotus](/source/Lotus_Cars) and formed the base of a 7-seater [compact MPV](/source/Compact_MPV), the [Opel Zafira](/source/Opel_Zafira#Zafira_A_(1999–2004)), which was co-developed by [Porsche](/source/Porsche). Approximately 90,000 [coupés](/source/Coup%C3%A9) were produced.

The manufacturing of the Astra saloon and Caravan continued at Opel's [Gliwice](/source/Gliwice) plant in Poland after the debut of the next-generation Astra H, with the older model being branded as **Astra Classic** in a similar fashion to its predecessor, catering to the lower end of the market. This car was offered in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Turkey with the name Astra Classic II from 2004 to the end of 2009. Apart from European markets, these models were also sold in Australia and New Zealand as the **Holden Astra Classic**, until they were replaced by the [Holden Viva](/source/Daewoo_Lacetti) (built-in South Korea) in 2006.

The Astra G was built as **Chevrolet Astra** in Brazil. It was facelifted in 2003 and was sold in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and other [Latin American](/source/Latin_America) markets until 2011. The GM Brazilian 2.0 8V [inline-four engine](/source/Inline-four_engine) which equips the Astra has the "flex-power" technology, that allows the car to run on both petrol and alcohol fuels, providing 128/140 hp (G/A) at 5200 rpm.

A taxi version of the Brazilian sourced model, powered with petrol 2.0-litre engine was sold in Chile as the **Chevy Urban**.[23][24]

In 2004, GM's Russian joint venture [GM-AvtoVAZ](/source/GM-AvtoVAZ) launched the 4-door version of the Astra G as the **Chevrolet Viva**. It was sold through Chevrolet dealers in Russia, while Opel dealers were selling the newer Opel Astra H. Sales were poor from the start due to high pricing: the only version launched was equipped with a 1.8L engine with an above-average trim level, placing the Viva's price above the [Toyota Corolla](/source/Toyota_Corolla).[25] A project costing $340 million was selling less than a thousand cars annually (801 cars in 2007);[25][26] rumours of shutting down Chevy Viva production circulated as early as summer of 2005.[27] GM-AvtoVAZ shut down small-scale production of the Viva in March 2008.[25]

### V8 Coupe in DTM

The Astra G series Coupé was used for the silhouette [racing cars](/source/Racing_car) in the [DTM](/source/Deutsche_Tourenwagen_Masters) series. These DTM racing cars are purpose-built race cars with barely any parts taken from the road cars except for lights and door handles. The car's bodywork featured [gull-wing doors](/source/Gull-wing_door) that were each supported by two [gas struts](/source/Gas_strut). The racing cars were powered by 4.0L V8 engines with nearly 500 hp (370 kW). [Opel](/source/Opel) did poorly during several seasons of DTM as only [Manuel Reuter](/source/Manuel_Reuter) placed significantly in the championship once, taking second in the inaugural season in 2000 before withdrawing at the end of 2005, but the car was also used to win the [24h Nürburgring](/source/24h_N%C3%BCrburgring) in 2003.

### Xtreme

The **Astra Xtreme**, a [concept car](/source/Concept_car) presented at the 2001 [Geneva motor show](/source/Geneva_motor_show), was a single-production [V8](/source/V8_engine)-powered Astra based on the G-series Astra [DTM](/source/Deutsche_Tourenwagen_Masters). Like the DTM racing car, it featured a 4.0 litres (240 cu in) [V8 engine](/source/V8_engine), producing 444 hp (331 kW), [gull-wing doors](/source/Gull-wing_door) supported by gas struts, carbon fibre panels, and race-specification interior with [five-point seatbelts](/source/Seatbelt).

### Stock Car Brazil

The season of 2005 also joined the history of Stock Car. In addition to the category becoming multi - the first time the Mitsubishi Lancer ran alongside the Chevrolet Astra, on 30 October 2005, 40 cars with Stock Car V8 engines performed an unprecedented race outside of Brazil worth points for the championship. It was a round to the side of TC 2000, the main category of Argentina and in July had run in Curitiba (Autodromo Internacional de Curitiba). The Autódromo Juan y Oscar Gálvez got a crowd of 70,000 people. Giuliano Losacco was the winner, with Mateus Greipel second and [Luciano Burti](/source/Luciano_Burti) third.

The engine was a V8 Chevrolet 350 imported from the United States by JL, similar to that used in Busch Series, the second category of NASCAR, equal and limited to 450 hp (336 kW). The automaker GM was sponsoring the category, providing the fairing of the Astra, making room for other manufacturers to enter the category with a low investment.

The **Astra H** was launched in March 2004 as a five-door hatchback, whilst a five-door [estate](/source/Station_wagon) launched late 2004 and a sporty three-door hatchback, designated the GTC ([Gran Tourismo](/source/Grand_tourer) [Compact](/source/Compact_car)) for European markets, Sport Hatch in the UK and the Coupé in Australia, launched in 2005. The GTC has the option of a [windscreen](/source/Windscreen) called "panoramic windscreen" (unique for a production car at the time of its launch) which extends into the roof area. Based on an updated version of GM's [T platform](/source/General_Motors_T_platform_(1979)), its size was increased compared to the previous version. Production came until the end of 2009, excepting the TwinTop which continued to be manufactured until November 2010.

The ageing Vectra B was replaced in Brazil with a sedan version of the Astra H, named [Chevrolet Vectra](/source/Chevrolet_Vectra), until it was replaced by the [Chevrolet Cruze](/source/Chevrolet_Cruze) in 2009, though the sedan version of the Vectra continued to be sold alongside the Cruze until 2011 when the Cruze fully replaced it. The model was matched with the other models offered in Brazil. This version was offered as an Opel in some Eurasian markets in 2006, following a debut at the international auto show in [Istanbul](/source/Istanbul), Turkey, including Ireland in 2008.[36] This was manufactured in [Gliwice](/source/Gliwice), Poland.[37] Also in 2006, the Astravan, a 3-door van variant of the estate, was launched. In September 2007, a version of the 5-door Astra was launched in Brazil, marketed as Chevrolet Vectra GT to differentiate from the already existing Astra, which was replaced by the [Chevrolet Cruze](/source/Chevrolet_Cruze) hatchback in 2011.

The Opel Astra was revised in January 2007, with the introduction of different colours of the posterior lighthouses and a new front.

GM Russia launched [SKD](/source/Complete_knock_down) assembly of Astra on a temporary production site near [Saint Petersburg](/source/Saint_Petersburg) in February 2008, with a potential capacity of 25,000 vehicles annually.[38]

The Chevrolet Astra was withdrawn from Mexico in 2008 as a result of the withdrawal of Opel products from the brand, replaced by the [Chevrolet Cruze](/source/Chevrolet_Cruze) sedan for the 2010 model year.

A first for any major European car is the availability of digital radio on some versions of the new Astra, while for the Astra product class first are electronically controlled chassis (IDS+) and AFL (Adaptive Forward Lighting).

This generation was kept in production in Bochum alongside the new Astra J and sold as the Opel Astra Classic III in some Eastern European markets such as Poland and Turkey. It was available as a 5-door hatchback, saloon, and estate.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] Production of the Opel Astra Classic III eventually ended in 2014.

At the end of 2012, the Astravan was replaced by the new [Opel Combo D](/source/Opel_Combo) (where the production of the Astra H had already ended).

### OPC

During 2005, Opel introduced the OPC version of the **Astra GTC** (sold as the Astra VXR in the UK) which is powered by an updated version of the 2.0 L turbo [Family II engine](/source/Family_II_engine) (Z20 LEH) producing 240 PS (177 kW, 237 bhp) and 320 N⋅m (236 lb⋅ft) of torque. Standard features of the OPC version include sports bodykit and recaro interior, a six-speed [manual](/source/Manual_transmission) gearbox, xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloy wheels amongst others.

This vehicle was sold until late 2009 in Australia and New Zealand by [Holden Special Vehicles](/source/Holden_Special_Vehicles) as the **HSV VXR**. HSV VXRs but it never offered a sedan in the UK and Australia are sold as standard with full leather trim, climate control, 6 disc CD and 19-inch alloy wheels. HSV VXRs were badged as per the UK Vauxhall Spec models but without the usual rear boot badge. The sedan was discontinued in Australia and United Kingdom in 2007. Inside the Opel Blitz appears on the steering wheel with an OPC dashboard. The Astra OPC was also sold as the Chevrolet Astra OPC in Chile.

### TwinTop

In 2006, the Astra TwinTop arrived. (The "TwinTop" name also applies to the smaller [Tigra](/source/Opel_Tigra) and refers to a [retractable hardtop convertible](/source/Retractable_hardtop) version of the car, shared with the [Pontiac G6](/source/Pontiac_G6).) The Astra TwinTop has a three-part folding metal roof which sits in the upper half of the boot space, leaving considerable luggage space below it. Still marketed as a four-seater, the rear seating space is smaller than other Astra models. The TwinTop was available in three trim levels with a range of engines in each, including a 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp) 2.0 L turbo and the 1.9 CDTI diesel in 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp) form.

Launched in January 2007, Australian-market TwinTops came with the Z22YH 2.2 L direct-injection engine with a choice of 6-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission which was unique to Australia.[39][40]

The folding roof assembly was built by [Magna Steyr](/source/Magna_Steyr)'s Car Top Systems (CTS) subsidiary in Antwerp, Belgium, near the plant where the TwinTop was assembled.[41] The TwinTop was discontinued in November 2010 along with the 3-door GTC, both replaced by the soft-top [Opel Cascada](/source/Opel_Cascada).

The [Saturn](/source/Saturn_Corporation) Astra was marketed in North America both the U.S and Canada after debuting at the 2007 [Chicago Auto Show](/source/Chicago_Auto_Show).[42][43] Superseding the [Ion](/source/Saturn_Ion), the Astra was a [captive import](/source/Captive_import), based on the Opel Astra, manufactured in [Antwerp](/source/Antwerp), Belgium.[44]

Available in three and five-door [hatchback](/source/Hatchback) body styles, sales began on 2 January 2008 with a single engine, a 1.8 L [U18XER](/source/GM_Family_1_engine#U18XER) inline-4-cylinder [petrol engine](/source/Gasoline_engine) with [variable-valve technology](/source/Variable_valve_timing) producing 138 hp (103 kW) — available five-speed [manual transmission](/source/Manual_transmission) or a four-speed [automatic transmission](/source/Automatic_transmission).

The XE base trim level was offered on the five-door hatchback and included steel wheels with plastic covers.[45] The XR trim level was the only trim level for the 3-door and was available on five-door models — and included enhanced seat bolsters, driver lumbar and seat height adjusters; 17-inch alloy ten-spoke wheels and P225/45R17 all-season performance tires; easy Entry front sliding seats (3 door model) and enhanced instrument gauges.

Standard equipment included air conditioning (XR trim); cruise control; driver information centre including audio, time and outside temperature display; power door locks with central locking feature and remote keyless entry; courtesy lighting and dual reading lamps in front and rear; cloth front bucket reclining seats with adjustable active head restraints; easy entry front sliding seats (3 door); rear 60/40-split flat-folding seat with adjustable and removable head restraints and retractable; dual cupholders, driver 4-way and passenger 2-way manually adjustable seats; three-spoke steering wheel with rake and telescoping steering column; steering wheel-mounted audio and Driver Information Center controls; overhead sunglass storage; front seat illuminated vanity mirrors; power windows with express-Down; front console with cupholder and 12-volt power outlet; power-adjustable, manual folding, heated side mirrors; and rain sensing front intermittent windshield wipers.

An optional *Premium Trim Package* for XR models included leather seating surfaces, vinyl door trim, leather-wrapped steering wheel, driver manual lumbar seat adjuster, heated front seats, and interior ambient LED lighting. For 2008, an optional *Sport Handling Package* included stability control (marketed as StabiliTrak), lowered sport suspension, and quick-ratio power steering. This package was made standard on the 2009 3-door. A panoramic sunroof was available on 5-door models.

In [Insurance Institute for Highway Safety](/source/Insurance_Institute_for_Highway_Safety) (IIHS) crash tests the Astra earned a *Good* overall score in frontal impacts, while in side impacts it received a *Marginal* overall rating. Front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags were standard,[46] along with a system marketed as the *Pedal Release System,* whereby the clutch and or brake pedal would decouple in the event of a frontal crash with significant cowl intrusion, mitigating lower leg injury.

[General Motors](/source/General_Motors) predicted sales of between 30,000 and 40,000 vehicles a year in the United States. Sales were slow, due initially to a large glut of unsold Ions and later the uncertainty surrounding the Saturn brand's future. In 2008 only 11,968 were sold in the US[47] and in 2009 this fell to 6,298. In Canada the sales of the Saturn Astra was up to 11,605 in total between 2007 and 2010.[48]

With a large number of unsold cars remaining on dealer lots, GM announced it would end import of the Astra.[49] In June 2009, GM announced its intention to sell the Saturn Corporation to [Penske Automotive Group](/source/Penske_Automotive_Group). This never was concluded and in 2010 General Motors discontinued the Saturn brand.

The successor to the Saturn Astra in the North American General Motors lineup was the [Buick Verano](/source/Buick_Verano_(North_America)), introduced for the 2012 model year. The Verano is derived from the succeeding Astra J.

### Engines

Engines were available with 5- and 6-speed manual transmission, *Easytronic* automated manual gearbox with 5-speeds, and also 4- and 6-speed automatic transmission. In the beginning there were petrol 1.4 90 PS, 1.6 105 PS, 1.8 125 PS and new 2.0 Turbo engine with two versions: 170 PS and 200 PS. Diesel lineup were 1.3 CDTI with 90 PS, 1.7 CDTI with 80 PS, 100 PS, and 1.9 CDTI engines with 120 and 150 PS. During production some engine got more power like 1.6, 1.8, 1.7, 1.9 and 2.0 Turbo with 240 PS was introduced in 2005 in OPC/VXR version. 1.3 CDTI 90 PS was introduced in 2005, replacing the 1.7 CDTI with 80 PS.

After restyle between the end of 2006 and beginning of 2007, new engines were introduced: 1.6 turbo engine with 180 PS that replaces 2.0 Turbo with 170, and 1.7 CDTI engine with 125 PS.

The Astra J is based on the General Motors' [Delta II platform](/source/GM_Delta_II_platform), debuted at the [2009 Frankfurt Motor Show](/source/Frankfurt_Motor_Show#2009) in Germany and went on sale in November 2009 as a 2010 model while the 2009 model year was entirely skipped.[52][53] The car has taken most of its styling from the new [Opel Insignia](/source/Opel_Insignia), with many of the higher options fitted as standard. Full production came on line at Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port Plant at the end of September 2009. Deliveries began in December 2009. Referred to as the "Astra I", it officially received the "Astra J" name instead to avoid confusing the letter I for the number 1.[54]

The Astra was developed at Opel's '[International Technical Development Center](/source/International_Technical_Development_Center)' (ITDC) in Rüsselsheim and continues Opel's design language, ‘sculptural artistry meets German precision’ first introduced on the Insignia. The Astra features a [torsion beam](/source/Torsion_beam) rear suspension with [Watt's link](/source/Watt's_linkage).[55] Infotainment and [car navigation systems](/source/Car_navigation_system) are supplied by [Bosch](/source/Robert_Bosch_GmbH).[56][57]

The Opel Astra came third in the [European Car of the Year](/source/European_Car_of_the_Year) award in 2010.

The [station wagon](/source/Station_wagon) version of the Astra - dubbed the 'Sports Tourer' by Opel, debuted at the [2010 Paris Motor Show](/source/2010_Paris_Motor_Show), and went on sale shortly afterwards, with four trim levels: ES, Exclusiv, SRI and SE. The adoption of the "Sports Tourer" name finally brought to an end Opel's traditional "Caravan" designation for its station wagon derivatives.

The pre-facelift Astra J was briefly sold in Australia under the Opel brand, with its introduction into the Australian market in 2012. However, the Opel brand and nameplate subsequently pulled out of the Australian market in 2013 due to poor sales, and later versions of the Astra J, namely the OPC and GTC variant, were sold under the Holden brand name from 2013 onwards.

[Shanghai GM](/source/Shanghai_GM) launched the Chinese version of the Opel Astra hatchback, which is badged as the [Buick Excelle XT](/source/Buick_Excelle_XT). This car went on sale in January 2010. Three engines were announced: Ecotec D-VVT 1.6 L, 1.8 L and 1.6 L Turbo.

The saloon version of the Astra was first presented at the 2012 [Moscow International Automobile Salon](/source/Moscow_International_Automobile_Salon). The 4-door saloon has a number of names depending on market: [Buick Excelle GT](/source/Buick_Excelle_XT#Excelle_GT_(Sedan)) in China, [Buick Verano](/source/Buick_Verano_(North_America)) in North America and Opel Astra sedan/saloon elsewhere. This version is not sold in the United Kingdom, although it is available in some other [right hand drive](/source/Left-_and_right-hand_traffic) markets, such as Ireland (as the: **Astra Saloon**),[58] Malta,[59] and South Africa.[60] Production for the saloon version continued until 2018 after the Astra K was released to supply several markets where saloons are popular, including Turkey.

### GTC

A 3-door version dubbed Astra GTC was introduced in July 2011.[61] Externally, it retains very few design elements of the old 5-door model. It has a sportier appearance, with a much more 'sculpted' chassis. It features a HiPerStrut front suspension from the [Opel Insignia](/source/Opel_Insignia) OPC which helps alleviate [torque steering](/source/Torque_steering). Rear suspension uses a Watt's linkage to minimize lateral movement of the axle. The wheelbase is enhanced to accommodate wider low-profile tyres. Similarly to the Astra H GTC, a 'panoramic windscreen' option is available. The Astra GTC was awarded a 5 star rating for its performance under [Euro NCAP](/source/Euro_NCAP) safety tests. In late 2013, a new 1.6 Turbo EcoTec engine with 200PS output replaced the older 180PS engine of the same capacity, meaning the 1.6 Turbo replaces the BiTurbo Diesel as the fastest non-OPC model in the range.

The GTC is built in [Gliwice](/source/Gliwice), Poland, with a range of models & petrol and diesel engines. In the UK, the GTC includes the SRi and VXR models.[62] Production continued alongside the Astra K when it was introduced in 2015, and concurrently dropped the Astra moniker for simply GTC.[63] In 2018, the model was discontinued.[64]

#### Models and colours

There are three models of the GTC, Sport, the SRi, Limited Edition, and the VXR model. Available colours are Power red (Solid), the *Brilliant* colours are Summit white & Flaming yellow, The Metallic colours are Granite grey, Deep sky blue, Carbon flash, Sovereign silver & Flip chip silver, The Pearlescent colours are Emerald green & Asteroid grey. The VXR also has Flash blue.[65]

### OPC

The [OPC](/source/Opel_Performance_Center) trim of the Astra GTC has been available since 2012. This car features a [turbocharged 2.0 L direct injection engine](/source/GM_Ecotec_engine#NFT) with a power of 206 kW (280 PS; 276 hp) and torque of 400 N⋅m (295 lbf⋅ft), HiPerStrut front suspension, a mechanical [limited slip differential](/source/Limited_slip_differential), an electronically controlled *FlexRide* [active suspension](/source/Active_suspension), and [Recaro](/source/Recaro)-style sport seats, OPC badge on gear knob, steering wheel, and on instrument dials and different and distinctive front and rear bumper, rear standard spoiler as well as optional OPC spoiler compared to GTC version. It comes with 19 inch alloy rims as standard and optional 20-inch alloy rims which are lighter than those 19-inch. The 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time is 6 seconds and top speed is limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).[66]

### Astravan

This generation Astra was not available as the commercial version Astravan. But in The Netherlands, the Astra Sports Tourer was available as Astravan at special order.

### Engines

### Facelift

In June 2012, a facelift was announced. Visual changes occurred at the front and back of the hatchback and sports tourer. This included revised bumpers and grills and very minor changes to the headlights. The rear lights were also revised, and had an overall darker appearance, the registration-plate recess of the five-door model was re-designed, and the Sports Tourer (estate body) and 5-door hatchback model received new-style bumpers with chrome trim. New colours were introduced, such as Sculpture Bronze, Phantom Grey and Deep Sky metallic, plus others which were available as extra-cost options. The updated Astra also received some assistance systems such as the *Eye* front camera with enhanced traffic-sign assistant (TSA II), lane-departure warning (LDW), following-distance indication (FDI) and forward-collision alert (FCA); also available are a rear-view camera, advanced park assist and side-blind-spot alert. A saloon variant was introduced, but only to a very few markets. Engine-wise, the 195-PS [2.0 BiTurbo CDTI](/source/GM_Family_B_engine) from the Insignia became available from autumn 2012, and a new 1.6 L 170 PS turbocharged SIDI Ecotec [direct injection](/source/Direct_fuel_injection) unit from the new [*MGE* engine family](/source/GM_Medium_Gasoline_Engine) was added in early 2013.[68]

Opel Astra 1.6 CDTI ecoFLEX Edition (Germany)

Opel Astra 1.6 BiTurbo CDTI ecoFLEX Innovation Sports Tourer (Germany)

Interior

Opel officially unveiled the Astra K on 1 June 2015 and made its official premiere at the [Frankfurt Motor Show](/source/Frankfurt_Motor_Show#2015) in September 2015.[73]

The Astra K is smaller (5cm), and lighter (up to 200kg) compared to Astra J. Although it is smaller on the outside, Opel claims it is bigger on the inside than the previous Astra J. Depending on the model and trim level it is up to 200 kilograms - at the very least 120 kilograms - lighter than its predecessor. The completely new vehicle architecture plays a major role in the weight reduction. Every component was checked for compact design and lightweight materials. The bodyshell weight alone was reduced by 20 per cent from 357 to 280 kilograms. Additional, chassis-related measures resulted in another 50 kilograms of weight reduction; these include high-strength and ultra-high-strength low-weight steels, compact subframes as well as weight reductions to the front and rear axle. Rear suspension is [torsion beam](/source/Torsion_beam) (only with [Watts linkage](/source/Watts_linkage) on top engines), and [MacPherson struts](/source/MacPherson_strut) at the front.

Available engines are 1.0-litre three-cylinder and 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engines or 1.6-litre diesels. It is available with full-LED front light techniques, A screen in the dash which connect to Android or iPhone comes as standard. This system is already available, in both the [Corsa E](/source/Opel_Corsa#Corsa_E) and [Adam](/source/Opel_Adam).

### Engines

Engines are available with the 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission, and the newly developed 5-speed *EasyTronic 3.0* automated manual, which is only available for the 1.0T SIDI engine. The only other available automatic transmission, at the beginning of production, is the 6-speed with active select mode, which can be ordered in late 2015, for the 1.4 SIDI Turbo with 150 PS, and 1.6 CDTI with 136 PS. Buyers can choose the [Start/Stop](/source/Start-stop_system) system for all engines as an extra feature, except the 1.0T which will have system as standard.

All engines are new and recently developed by Opel - [1.0T SIDI](/source/GM_Small_Gasoline_Engine), [1.4T SIDI](/source/GM_Small_Gasoline_Engine) (which sees its debut in the Astra K in 2015)[74] and the naturally aspirated version of [it](/source/GM_Small_Gasoline_Engine) (which will be available later in 2015), and the so-called "Whisper diesel" [1.6 CDTI](/source/GM_Medium_Diesel_engine). All turbocharged petrol engines use the Direct Injection Fuel system.[75]

Opel are offering the ecoFLEX range for 1.0T, 1.4T and 1.6 CDTI engines which have same amount of power, but less CO2-emissions (g/km) and lower fuel consumption. The entire ecoFLEX range have Start/Stop as standard, low rolling resistance tyres and aerodynamic tweaks for reduced drag for lower CO2-emissions. The 1.4T SIDI ecoFLEX version have less torque, rated at 230 N⋅m (170 lbf⋅ft) at 2.000-4.000 rpm.

In 2019, Opel announced the move to the new GM E-Turbo 1.2-litre, "1.4-litre" (actually a 1.3-litre) three-cylinder petrol engines, and 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesels.[76]

### Facelift

A facelift of Opel Astra K released around the summer of 2019. Changes were minimal, both inside and outside; however the facelifted Astra sports a new front grille, new rear lights, as well as a new windscreen wiper mechanism, where both wipers are individually controlled as opposed to a linked setup as before.

The last Astra to be produced in Ellesmere Port rolled off the assembly line on December 13, 2021.[77] The last Astra to be produced in [Gliwice factory](/source/Opel_Manufacturing_Poland) rolled off the assembly line on November 30, 2021.[78]

### Chevrolet Astra

The Chevrolet Astra is essentially the same vehicle as the Opel Astra, but with some mechanical differences. In Brazil, the Chevrolet Astra was launched at 1994 as 1995 model only in five-door hatchback and station wagon body styles. It was available only in the GLS trim level with a 2.0-litre, eight-valve multipoint fuel injection engine with a power of 116 PS (85 kW). The plan was to replace the Chevrolet Kadett, an Opel Kadett E built locally, but an increase in taxes for import cars (from 35 to 70 per cent) made General Motors of Brazil stop importing the model for the 1996 model year. The Chevrolet Astra returned in 1998, in second generation and built locally. Initially, it only came in three-door hatchback and four-door sedan body styles, and GL and GLS trim levels. The engine options were a 1.8 litre with 110 PS (81 kW) and a 2.0 litre with 112 PS (82 kW), both with eight valves. Later models received the option of a 2.0 litre, 16-valve engine, initially with a power of 128 PS (94 kW) and later yet with 136 PS (100 kW). The exterior styling featured Vauxhall's new corporate 'V' front grille first seen on the 1994 [Vauxhall Omega](/source/Vauxhall_Omega).

In 2003, the Astra range received an exterior facelift, with a five-door hatchback completing the range. The 1.8 litre engine was discontinued, with a 2.0 litre flexfuel (ethanol and petrol) being launched for the 2004 model year. The 2.0 FlexFuel power was 121–128 PS (89–94 kW) depending on the fuel used; later this changed to 133–140 PS (98–103 kW). A GSI 2.0 16V was launched with the 2003 facelift and produced until 2005. The range did not change much until its discontinuation in 2011, being in effect replaced by the Chevrolet Sonic and Cobalt.

**Chile**

In Chile, the Astra was sold under the Opel brand until 1997 (replacing the Kadett); beginning in 1999, the second generation was imported from Brazil under the Chevrolet brand. The third generation was again imported from Europe; in 2017, it returned to be sold under Opel brand.
