Opel has revealed the all-new sixth generation Astra.

A descendant of the legendary Kadett, the success story of the Astra, Opel's bestseller, began 30 years ago. Sporting the new brand face, the distinctive Opel Vizor, the Astra will be available in petrol, diesel and for the very first time, as a plug-in hybrid.
 

Designed, developed and manufactured at Opel's headquarters in Germany, the all-new Astra will arrive in Ireland in early 2022, with prices and equipment levels to be revealed closer to launch.


"Introducing the all-new Astra - a new Blitz is born! With sensational design and class-leading technology, it is electrified and highly efficient for the lowest possible emissions. The new Astra brings us into a new era. It is executed with the utmost precision, down to the smallest detail. We are confident that the next generation Astra has all it takes to become another bestseller and attract many new customers to the brand", said Opel CEO, Michael Lohscheller.


The new Astra will be available from the start of sales with powerful plug-in hybrid electric drive as well as highly efficient petrol and diesel engines, electrifying Opel's compact class model for the first time in the brand's history. Power ranges from 110hp to 130hp with the petrol and diesel variants and up to 225hp output with the plug-in hybrid variants. A six-speed gearbox is standard on the petrol and diesel power units, with an eight-speed automatic transmission (electrified on the plug-in hybrids) optional on the more powerful engines.


Order books for the new Astra open this autumn with first deliveries due to customers early next year.
