The latest offering from Opel comes in the form of thenew Opel Astra Sport Tourer. The new Opel Astra Sport Tourer has been designed to incorporate a stylish look, a wide range of practical uses and still remaining as eco friendly as possible. The compact wagon segment is not a particularly popular segment as the vehicles tend to favour practicality over all else, so it’s nice to see Opel making an effort to keep their vehicle looking stylish.

Practicality and style define new Opel Astra Sport Tourer

The new Opel Astra Sport Tourer still excels in the practical department though, even with its upgraded looks, and packs a substantial load volume of up to 1550 litres. The space can be further increased thanks to the new FlexFold rear seats, which can be lowered at the touch of a button.

Plenty Engine Choice

There a total of 9 fuel-efficient engines when choosing the powertrain for the Opel Astra Sport Tourer, which should cater for pretty much everyone. Ranging from 70 kW/95 hp all the way to 132 kW/180 hp. The 1.3 CDTI will be the first in the range to receive Start/Stop technology early next year, which will increase its fuel efficiency and brings the CO2 emission rating to 109g/km.

What is more interesting though is Opel’s efforts to minimize repair costs associated with damage to the vehicle. Their efforts have revolved around reducing the damage done to the vehicle from low-speed crashes, which are the most frequent. With the end result being a lower insurance premium, at least that is Opels aim.

The new Opel Astra Sport Tourer will be available in the UK in November this year, check back for details on the local release.
