Although it was never officially confirmed it is obviously no stranger to her choice of Opel bestseller as a sedan on the market. This body style is particularly popular in Russia and Turkey where Opel hopes to ride the growing economy. Positions the Opel Astra sedan emphatically as "compact" and praises him as a cheap alternative to sedans from higher price ranges.
It seems like we always start driving smaller cars, the Polo instead of Golf, the 1-series in exchange for a 3-series, and so on. However, if we look well prove the outside dimensions considerably over recent years have increased. This is the 'compact' Astra otherwise. In terms of format because it is bigger than the last generation Vectra while that model really is a higher segment was positioned. This shows again that the term 'compact' through the years has shown an elastic concept.
The Astra sedan will be available from September with a choice of five engines, three petrol units (100, 140 and 180 hp) and two diesels (110 and 130 hp). These two 1.7 CDTI ecoFLEX copies are equipped with a start / stop system which reduces consumption of 3.7 l/100 km will be located. Two models (140 hp diesel, 130 hp diesels) come with their low fuel consumption at least until January 1, 2013 in addition to the 20% category. And from early next year, the new Opel SIDI engines which introduce this tax benefit will undoubtedly be continued. Interestingly, the two lightest engines outside the fiscal miss out, this should probably just pull too hard on the spacious Astra.
Addition be equipped with a modern look, the new Astra sedan will be equipped with a wide range of technologies. AFL + (Advanced Forward Lighting), Bi-Xenon, Flex Ride AGR chairs and several entertainment are just a few of the possibilities.
The Opel Astra sedan is available immediately and able to order from September in the showroom. Prices are not yet known.
