The German manufacturer is showing the utterly new Opel Astra Sports Tourer station wagon version of its compact class bestseller. The newcomer will be available as an electric plug-in hybrid from the start of sales, making it the brand's first electrified station wagon. The new Opel Astra Sports Tourer seamlessly continues the tradition of successful compact station wagons with the lightning bolt, which began almost 60 years ago with the Kadett Caravan - at that time, the first compact class station wagon from a German brand.
The new Astra Sports Tourer offers the full range of drives: The electrified versions complement highly efficient petrol and diesel engines. The engine power range extends from 81 kW / 110 hp to 96 kW / 130 hp for the combustion engines and at the start-up to 133 kW / 180 hp and then up to 165 kW / 225 hp system output for the electric plug-in hybrids. Gasoline and diesel engines come with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard; an eight-speed automatic is available for the more powerful sports tourer vehicles.
"The new Opel Astra Sports Tourer is the all-rounder for a new era - electrified, digitized, and excitingly designed. We combine our long tradition of compact station wagons with the latest innovations such as plug-in hybrid technology. We are sure that we will win new customers for Opel with the fantastic looking Sports Tourer," says Opel CEO Uwe Hochgeschurtz.
