London, October 30, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– A sporty, elegant hatchback for everyday use or a practical estate for work and family holidays – the compact class bestseller Opel Astra offers the right solution for almost every need. The Astra is extremely comfortable at all times and features top technologies such as the adaptive Intelli-Lux pixel light. But this is not the only way the Astra and Astra Sports Tourer score. When it comes to drive systems in particular, the current Astra generation offers a variety like no other model in the Opel portfolio. Battery-electric, as a plug-in hybrid, with a highly efficient combustion engine and, for a few months now, also as a hybrid with 48-volt technology – customers have the full choice and are always on the road in the most efficient way.
The compact class electric cars accelerate to 100 km/h in just 9.2 and 9.3 seconds respectively; both can reach a top speed of 170 km/h – and it’s pleasantly quiet and light-footed. Thanks to their compact packaging, both the five-door and the estate are real lightweights in their segment. This also helps ensure that passengers in the Astra Electric and the Astra Sports Tourer Electric can travel up to 418 kilometres and 413 kilometres (according to WLTP1) respectively without stopping – and all this while enjoying the highest level of comfort, optionally with AGR-certified ergonomic active sports seats. Drivers can choose from three drive modes – Eco, Normal and Sport.
The regenerative braking system ensures that energy can be recovered while driving. Even when the battery-electric Astra needs to be recharged, this only means a short “pit stop” at a charging point. The all-electric cars can be charged to 80 per cent of the battery capacity in less than 30 minutes at a 100 kW direct current fast charging station. In addition, each fully electric Astra is equipped as standard with a three-phase 11 kW onboard charger for the wall box at home.
