Opel gives first glimpse of future Astra

Opel published official photos giving the first glimpse of the future Astra – the first generation of the German brand’s compact car to be electrified.

The central exterior design element is a further development of the Opel Vizor first seen on the new Mokka. The face of the brand stretches across the front, seamlessly integrating technologies such as the ultra-slim IntelliLux LED^® headlamps. At the rear, the all-new Astra nameplate is centrally placed on the sheer, taut surface of the tailgate.

The next generation Pure Panel digital cockpit with fully glazed surfaces echoes the seamless integration of the Opel Vizor with two widescreen displays delivering detoxed information in a horizontal driver-oriented format. Physical controls are reduced to the minimum.

Designed and engineered in Rüsselsheim, Germany, the next generation Astra will be available as a dynamic five-door hatchback and versatile Sports Tourer estate. Production will begin this year at the plant in Rüsselsheim.

More details on the new model will be allowed soon.
