The All-new Astra is also the first Vauxhall model to feature the brand's new trim line-up. The new, simplified, three version line-up of Design, GS Line, and Ultimate will be rolled out on both future and existing models. The new range structure makes it even easier for customers to choose their new Vauxhall, with specification aligned between electric, and petrol and diesels models making them easily comparable. The All-new Vauxhall Astra is a design statement of intent for the brand. After the All-new Mokka, New Crossland and New Grandland SUVs, the All-new Astra is Vauxhall's first hatchback to interpret the brand's bold and pure design philosophy.
Dynamic as never before, with sheer, taut surfaces, detoxed of superfluous elements and with the new brand face - the Vauxhall Vizor. With the next compact class generation, Vauxhall shows that the Astra is ready to define a new era. Like its predecessor launched in 2015, the newcomer brings innovations to the compact class that customers previously only knew from more expensive vehicles. For example, the Astra can turn night into day: the latest evolution of the adaptive IntelliLux LED® Pixel light comes straight from Vauxhall's flagship Insignia and, with 168 LED elements, significantly more than direct class rivals, leads the way in the compact and midsize market sectors.
Electric and efficient Powertrains
From launch, the All-new Astra will be available in the Plug-in HYBRID-e variant which combines Vauxhall's 1.6-litre petrol engine with a 12.4 kWh battery for a combined power output of 180PS, with a more powerful, 225PS Plug-in Hybrid Electric variant to become available later next year. Both models will be capable of up to 35 miles (WLTP) of electric range - enough to cover 85 per cent of all typical journeys. With emissions as low as 24g/km CO2, the All-new Astra will be ideal for both fleets and private buyers looking to save on running costs. Customers can also choose from a line-up of efficient petrol and diesel engines. The All-new Astra is available with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol unit, or a 1.5-litre four cylinder diesel engine, with both variants available with either a six-speed manual or Vauxhall's smooth eight-speed automatic.
Bold and pure design with detoxed interior
The All-New Astra continues Vauxhall's new bold and pure design language, featuring the instantly recognisable Vauxhall Vizor front end that houses the new Griffin logo. Stretching across the front, making the Astra look even wider, the Vizor front end seamlessly integrates technologies such as the ultra-slim IntelliLux LED® headlamps and the front camera of the Intelli-Vision parking camera. Featuring a 13mm longer wheelbase than the predecessor, the All-New Astra is just 4mm longer than the previous variant, resulting in a short front overhang and a muscular, confident stance. The rear of the car is defined by simple and striking lines forming the Vauxhall Compass, at which its centre is the new Vauxhall Griffin logo.
Next-generation safety features
Vauxhall has incorporated the latest automated driver assistance systems with the All-new Astra. In addition to the multifunction camera in the windscreen, the technology comprises four body cameras (one at the front, one at the rear and one on each side), five radar sensors (one at the front and one at each corner), as well as ultrasonic sensors front and rear. Cameras and sensors are integrated with e-horizon connectivity in Intelli-Drive, which extends the range of the cameras and the radar. This enables the system to adapt the speed in curves, make speed recommendations and perform semi-autonomous lane changes. Hands-off detection on the steering wheel ensures the driver remains engaged at all times. The system also keeps the car in the centre of its lane. The long list of automated driver assistance systems also includes adaptive cruise control, which increases or decreases speed to follow the vehicle ahead and can brake to a standstill if necessary. With the automatic transmission, driving resumes automatically thanks to "Stop & Go".
