Vauxhall is boldly going into the 21st century where no other Vauxhall has gone before. Since becoming part of the monolithic Stellantis Group, the once brow-beaten brand is flowering into a butterfly. And the new Astra Sports Tourer is part of the rejuvenation plan that is breathing new life into the once here today gone tomorrow product lifecycle. The new Astra lifecycle is life as we know it. The Astra Sports Tourer will be available with plug-in hybrid technology that produces up to a combined 225PS. In addition to plug-in hybrid versions, the Astra Sports Tourer will be available with highly efficient petrol and diesel engines.

Power ranges from 110PS to 130PS across the petrol and diesel variants. A six-speed gearbox is standard on the petrol and diesel power units, while plug-in hybrid variants come standard with Vauxhall’s smooth eight-speed automatic.

Petrol and diesel variants of the Astra Sports Tourer can be specified with the optional “Intelli-Space” feature. This moveable load floor can be easily adjusted with one hand to high and low positions and tilted at a 45-degree angle.

The boot of the Astra Sports Tourer provides up to 608 litres (548 liters for the plug-in hybrid) of useful storage space with the rear seats upright, and up to 1,634 litres (1,574 litres for the plug-in hybrid) when folded. The 40:20:40-split rear seats fold entirely flat.

The fully digital interior features a 10-inch driver instrument cluster and a 10-inch digital touchscreen. Climate control can still have a dedicated control switch. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all models.

The all-new estate will be available to order early next year. Deliveries will begin in early summer 2022. UK pricing and specification is yet to be disclosed.
