The new Opel Astra is a design statement for the brand. Thirty years later, the compact class model is more leading-edge than ever. Opel has sold almost 15 million Astra models since the premiere of the Kadett successor in 1991.

And the design: bold, innovative, creative. Quiet and powerful at the same time, the handling almost like a sports car. Opel brand ambassador Jürgen Klopp described the first impressions he got from a pre-production vehicle: “I had the chance to drive a camouflaged Astra plug-in hybrid – really very Opel sets standards with this car, which has everything it takes to once again become a bestseller.” I am confident that the new Astra and Astra-e will make a powerful impression and attract many new customers to the brand. This will be the first time that we offer both a battery-electric and a plug-in hybrid version of the same model. Speaking from the world premiere, Opel CEO, Uwe Hochgeschurtz, said: “A fantastic car! The new Astra will open an exciting new chapter in the history of Opel compact class models. Due in Ireland in early 2022, prices and equipment levels will be announced closer to launch.Ī real design gem featuring Opel’s Vizor front face, fully digital Pure Panel cockpit interior and top technologies such as adaptive Intelli-Lux LED® Pixel Lighting, the German manufacturer is now opening the next chapter of the 30-year Astra success story.

For the first time, the new Astra, designed, developed and manufactured in Germany, will be available with an electric drive, complementing highly efficient petrol and diesel powertrains Opel will from launch offer the new Astra as a plug-in hybrid in two performance levels and from 2023 as a battery all-electric emissions-free Astra-e.

At the “phygital” hybrid event, in the presence of 180 journalists and in front of 500 other media representatives via livestream, newly appointed Opel CEO, Uwe Hochgeschurtz, presented the new blitz, supported by Opel brand ambassador and Liverpool Manager, Jürgen Klopp. Opel presented the all-new sixth generation of its compact class, bestselling Astra today at a world premiere in Rüsselsheim, Germany.
