Opel/Vauxhall/Buick/Holden Cascada (for Opel Astra H TwinTop)
While it would make sense for the company to have both body styles on display in September at the IAA in Munich, Opel has announced it will not attend the show this year.Īs a final note, it's worth mentioning this will be the final Astra with combustion engines in Europe considering Opel has vowed to go EV-only on the Old Continent by 2028.Chevrolet/Holden Cruze (for Chevrolet Astra, Saturn Astra and Holden Astra) Expect the estate variant to be revealed in the coming months. Opel has already confirmed there will be a new wagon once again for those in need of a bigger cargo area. The order books will open this fall and the first customer deliveries are scheduled to take place in early 2022. Depending on the powertrain, six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions will be offered. For the very first time, a plug-in hybrid setup will be available and will come in two configurations. The German brand does confirm the 2022 Astra will be available with a choice of gasoline and diesel units with output varying from 110 hp (81 kW) to 225 hp (165 kW).
Opel doesn't go too deep with details about the powertrains, but you can imagine these will be quite similar to those of the new Peugeot 308. To its left, a fully digital instrument cluster has the same size. You still have shortcuts for often-used functions, but most of the settings are accessed through the 10-inch touchscreen of the infotainment system. Much like the exterior, the cabin is a vast departure from the Astra K by adopting the less-is-more approach with few conventional buttons. The car's increased footprint pays dividends in terms of cargo capacity on the adjustable load floor as it has grown by 52 liters (1.83 cubic feet) to 422 liters (14.9 cu ft) with the rear seats in place. A new Astra GTC would be nice, but given the current demand for three-door hatches, we wouldn't necessarily count on it. Opel goes as far as to say the hatchback has "coupe-like" lines, although some will beg to differ. Width has increased quite a bit, at 1,860 mm (73.2 in) or about 51 mm (2 in) more than before. Even though the overall length has barely changed, the wheelbase has been stretched significantly by 13 mm (0.5 in) to 2,675 mm (105.3 in) by shortening the front overhang.
The new Astra has been stretched by four millimeters (0.15 inches) over the outgoing generation and is now 4,374 mm (172.1 in) long.
