Opel Astra Caravan
Just a few months after the very successful launch of the five-door model, the Astra family welcomes a new member. Thanks to its 2.70-meter wheelbase, the new Astra station wagon has ample space for passengers and luggage. Numerous details such as an optional sliding rear bench seat or the FlexOrganizer system make the up to 1570-liter cargo space even more versatile. These features are complemented by a broad range of engines with a total of five gasoline and four CDTI common-rail diesel engines as well as a technology package extraordinary for this segment. This includes, for example, the adaptive, interactive IDSPlus chassis with electronic damping control, steering-linked AFL (Adaptive Forward Lighting) dynamic curve light headlamp system and a trailer stability program.
Broad engine range: five gasoline and four CDTI common-rail turbo-diesel engines
The Astra station wagon, which will first be produced in Bochum/Germany and shortly thereafter also in Antwerp/Belgium, will be available with the same broad engine range as the five-door model. This includes modern ECOTEC gasoline and diesel engines with displacements between 1.4 and 2.0 liters and power outputs from 80-200 hp. Besides the 1.9 CDTI with 150 hp – the most powerful diesel in this class – the new 1.9 CDTI with 120 hp expands the variety of dynamic diesel engines for the Astra range to four. Both 1.9 CDTI engines can be ordered with an optional state-of-the-art maintenance-free diesel particulate filter. All Astra engines comply with the Euro 4 emissions standard.
The transmission range consists of a six-speed manual gearbox (standard equipment for all 1.9 CDTI and 2.0 Turbo engines, optional for the 100 hp 1.7 CDTI), a five-speed manual transmission, a four-speed automatic (optional for 1.8 ECOTEC) as well as the latest version of the Easytronic automated manual transmission, which is available for the 1.6-liter engine with fuel-saving TWINPORT technology.
