Opel Astra represents a small family car(niche “C” class in the European category), which is announced in two 5-door versions (hatchback and station wagon), as well as a 4-door sedan. The model has a stylish design, competitive technical features and an excellent level of practicality. All.

The car is aimed at buyers who want to have modern car, but at a reasonable cost. Not long ago, the new fifth generation Opel Astra (K) was released. This happened in the fall of 2015 during an international exhibition in Frankfurt. Interestingly, Opel decided to declassify its new product ahead of schedule at the beginning of June.

The vehicle retained the proportions of the previous model, however, it became brighter, lighter and more technologically advanced in all respects. Following the official presentation, the hatchback should reach the shelves of European dealers, but the car is unlikely to reach our customers. This is all due to the recent departure of the brand from the Russian market.

Car history

First generation Astra F (1991-1997)

The debut family of Opel Astra compact cars has been produced since July 1991. Autumn 1994 vehicle has undergone minor improvements. The car was produced in Poland under the name Astra Classic. The Opel Astra (F) serves as the successor to the Opel Kadett (E) and is the sixth version in the Kadett/Astra series.

After the 1994 update, they began to produce a modernized version of the Astra (F), which received improved corrosion protection. It’s nice that the company took into account the wishes of customers and allowed the installation of a four-speed as an option. automatic transmission gear shift Japanese company Aisin AW.

Like other Opel cars produced in previous years, the body of the Astra (F) did not have a zinc protective coating, however, the quality of the paintwork was quite good. This point allowed the company to provide a guarantee for its products for 6 years. It concerned the body, and to be more precise, its invulnerability to rust.

In addition to the 3- and 5-door body, the Opel Astra had a sedan and station wagon version. A 3-door station wagon was produced in small quantities (this version did not have glazing). It is also very rare to find Opel model Astra in a convertible body, which has been produced since 1993 at the company's facilities.

A 3-door station wagon was produced in small quantities

As mentioned above, 3 years after the presentation of the car, modernization was carried out. Thanks to the update, new turn signals and a radiator grille began to be installed. If previously the turn signals were orange, the restyling changed them to white.

The appearance of the Opel Astra (F) of the 1st family is called calm and a little classic. It will not be superfluous to note that this model does not have an inflated price tag, so many people, when choosing inexpensive cars, prefer a European rather than an or.

It is very pleasant that after the 1994 update, all Opel Astra (F) even in the basic version had hydraulic power steering. In addition, the minimum configuration had front electric windows.

Opel Astra Convertible

The basic music system of a German car has 4 speakers. Even then, the German company was seriously concerned about the level of safety, equipping its models with belt tensioners with squibs, which, coupled with front Airbags, available in minimum configuration, significantly increased the level of safety in the first generation Opel Astra (F).

If we talk about the ventilation system, then it had air recirculation, blocking the path of outside air inside. Already in the next 1995, the debut version had a new front panel. The “German”’s interior had a clear and understandable dashboard, which displayed the main data of the car.

Steering wheel it was comfortable and big. To the left of it there was a lighting “twist” with an adjustment function, as well as keys for turning on the front and rear fog lighting. The seats installed in front are quite comfortable and have good lateral support.

The center console received a small “pocket”, at the end of which information about the time, date and temperature outside was displayed. The back of the rear sofa, according to the owners of the first generation Opel Astra, turned out to be a bit short. The sedan version was equipped with a luggage compartment that could hold 500 liters. The three and five-door hatchback could boast only 360 liters of usable space.

From the very beginning, only gasoline engines were installed on German cars. power units, volume from 1.4 to 2.0 l. All engines had an electronic fuel supply system, however, some markets could see the first carburetor engines, such as the 14NV 1.4 liter, which developed 75 horsepower. They began equipping cars with a diesel power plant 3 months after the car was released.

Initially only one was available diesel engine– 17YD 1.7 liters, developing 57 “horses”. The transmission can be a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic (Aisin).

It is noteworthy that the Opel Astra (F) I generation had a wide range of active and passive systems security. During the design of the machine using a computer, specialists were able to calculate the rigidity elements. The body was distinguished by its torsional strength. Installed height-adjustable seat belts.

The seats, along with the seat belt anchors, are designed to prevent the person sitting under the belt from slipping. Astra (F) had an optional airbag for the owner. At the end of 1994, 2 airbags began to be installed as standard. Electronics, in the form anti-lock braking system, could be installed optionally until the very end of the car's production.

As for the suspension, it was moderately soft and comfortable, and with the help of a stabilizer lateral stability front and rear, the cars held the road well. An independent McPherson-type suspension was installed in front, and a semi-independent one in the rear, where springs and shock absorbers were installed separately.

The steering wheel had rack and pinion mechanism and was distinguished by acceptable information content. As a braking system, disc devices were installed in front, and a drum mechanism was installed in the rear.

Second generation Astra G (1998-2004)

In 1997, during the next Frankfurt car showroom for the first time, the second Opel Astra family was presented, which received the index (G). It’s interesting that they decided not to take anything from the previous generation - it was a newly designed car.

Production of the 2nd generation Opel Astra was stopped in 2004, but the car continued to be sold in Russia until the first half of 2005. This option is called more “compartment” in terms of design. The novelty began its life as a 3- and 5-door C-segment hatchback; there was also a station wagon, convertible, coupe and the well-known sedan.

A fully galvanized body is one of the factors that made the 2nd Astra family a revolutionary car. Chassis, ergonomics, design, body, everything was decided to be radically reconsidered and designed almost anew. They decided not to change only the ideology of the model - the possibility of configuration for any stylistic decision, character, temperament and financial condition of a person.

The production of Astras in coupe and convertible bodies was carried out by a company from Italy - Bertone. Drag coefficient German car in the “sedan” version it was 0.29. The convertible with the roof down received only a slightly increased figure - 0.32.

The cone-shaped style of the 2nd generation Opel Astra has striking corporate features that can clearly be recognized as vehicles from Rüsselsheim. It turned out for real stylish car. The soft curves of the surfaces, which contrast with the edges and lines, do not lose the integrity of previous Astra models.

The body also has sporty notes. They decided to move the windshield forward by 120 millimeters, which made it possible to emphasize the wedge-shaped body type, visually reducing the dimensions of the hood. The salon turned out to be simple and laconic. Among the innovations are the presence of a liquid crystal display of the on-board computer and an airbag for the passenger.

If we compare the new product with its “cramped” predecessor, the 2nd generation Opel Astra turned out to be more spacious. It often happens that due to significant temperature changes inside and outside the car, it can crack. windshield. Even the company management itself recognized the problem of insufficient glass strength and quite often replaced the front glass under warranty.

The designers decided to borrow the pedal assembly from (B), and this means that in the event of a serious collision, the pedals are disconnected, and this, in turn, does not give them the opportunity to “go” into the cabin. The basic version of the Opel Astra (G) has a driver's airbag, however, you can often find 4 and even 6 Airbags.

The luggage compartment of the German-made 3- and 5-door hatchback received 370 liters of usable space. The sedan holds 460 liters, and the record volume belongs to the station wagon - 480 liters. However, that’s not all; if necessary, you can significantly increase this figure to 1,500 liters if you fold the rear backrests.

The list of power units includes economical gasoline engines, in the amount of 6 copies, and a couple of engines running on diesel fuel. The gasoline range starts from 1.2-liter (65/48 horsepower) to 2.0-liter (136/100 “horses”). Such power plants comply with Euro 3 emission standards, which came into force in 2001.

Diesel engines received a volume of 1.7 liters, designed for 68 and 50 horsepower, as well as 2.0 liters, which develop 82 and 60 “horses”. The newest division of ECOTEC engines has 1.2 and 1.8-liter gasoline units and a 2.0-liter engine. They are distinguished by a four-valve timing mechanism and direct injection fuel.

Opel Astra Eco4 engine

On top of that, the 2.0-liter version gets two balancer shafts to improve its smooth operation. The synchronizer is a 4-speed (Japanese company Aisin) or 5-speed manual transmission gear having hydraulic drive clutch. The chassis structure has received major improvements.

The front uses aluminum McPherson struts and a tubular subframe (on which the engine is mounted), and the rear has a torsion beam. Supplementary features include springs, gas-filled shock absorbers and the DSA system. The braking system has disc brakes, and at the front they have a ventilation function.

Standard equipment includes ABS from another well-known German company Bosch. The Opel Astra (G) turned out to be actually practical and safe. The company's employees were able to work out the security structure. When a vehicle collides with an obstacle, the power unit goes to the bottom, and thanks to the directional deformation of the body, it is possible to save the necessary living space inside the car.

In the event of a side impact, passengers are protected by power beams hidden under the door trim. The built-in protection system allows you to save lives in critical situations. It has two full-size airbags for the driver and passenger, airbags in the backs of the front seats, and pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners. By using improved quality steel, it was possible to almost double the body's torsional and bending rigidity.

Third generation Astra H (2004-2009)

The third version of the Opel Astra was officially presented in 2004 in Istanbul. They decided to assign it an index (H). New model lasted for automotive market until 2010, after which it gave way to the new Opel Astra (J).

The production of the third generation was launched at a Polish enterprise, and since 2008 in Russia. The competitors of the Opel Astra (H) are KIA Cerato I , Mazda 3 first version, Chevrolet Lacetti and other vehicles produced in previous years.

The body range of the German car included a five-door hatchback, a three-door GTC hatchback, and an Astra TwinTop coupe-convertible. The director of the Opel design studio in Rüsselsheim, Friedhelm Engler, who also worked on the Opel Corsa and other vehicles of the company, worked on the appearance.

If we talk about a dynamic “shoulder” line and a streamlined roof, a wide base with small overhangs, stylish headlights with lanterns and embossed contours of the arches, then they are the ones who can make this car one of the most attractive players in the golf class. It is also important that the third generation Opel Astra (H) is a rather “free” option, suitable for both men and women.

It's not just because of the design. “The five-door is utilitarian, despite its bright and catchy originality. The vehicle is simple and undemanding to drive, and the interior decoration will not get boring. It is very funny that the drag coefficient of the Opel Astra (H) did not decrease, like the previous model, but increased.

Now this figure was 0.32 versus 0.29 for the old version. In addition, the new product has become 60 kilograms heavier, and the wheelbase has increased by 8 millimeters. In addition to the popular hatchback version, they also produced a sedan, which was also liked by many car enthusiasts. The body of the German vehicle was covered with a protective layer of zinc, however, based on feedback from the owners, questions about the quality of the painting still arose.

Opel Astra TwinTop

The interior decoration is made in German style. The center console is not loaded with buttons, and the dashboard, made in the same style as the hood, is “forked” with a kind of “keel”. Regarding the upholstery materials, they are soft and pleasant to the touch. Separately, you will be pleased with the door panels, which are covered with faux leather and stitched with stylish white threads.

Thanks to the comfortable seats of the 3rd generation Opel Astra, you can easily tune in to the trip, relax and calm down. The pedals are soft and easy to move. The steering wheel is electrically power-assisted.

There is enough free space, but nothing more. The luggage compartment volume of the sedan and station wagon versions is surprisingly the same - 490 liters. The five-door hatchback received 375 liters, and the Opel Astra H GTC version received 340 liters of usable space. Only the convertible version has the smallest trunk - 205 liters.

From 2004 to 2008, german car equipped with gasoline-powered engines with the following technical characteristics:

1.4 liters (75 “horses);
1.6 (105 horsepower);
1.8 (125 horsepower).

There was also a 1.7-liter diesel version, rated at 101 horsepower. When restyling took place (in 2007), production continued with engines:

1.4 (90 horsepower),
1.6 (105 “horses”
1.8 (140 “hooves”).

The diesel side was represented by two diesel engines - a CDTI 1.7-liter, developing 125 horsepower, and a 1.3-liter, producing 90 horsepower. All gasoline installations use a belt in the gas distribution mechanism, which must be replaced every 90,000 - 110,000 kilometers.

A separate “individual” is considered to be a version of the OPC representing sports model Opel Astra (N). It has a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine capable of producing 240 horsepower.

Such “engines” work together with a mechanical, robotic and automatic transmission. They can be installed on any body at the request of the buyer. All torque is transmitted from the box only to the front wheels. The suspension turned out to be collected and a little stiff, which is well reflected in fast turns by the absence of rolls and the quick reaction of the chassis to steering wheel actions.

Opel Astra (H) sedan

Stands ahead independent suspension, McPherson type, and at the rear is a semi-independent torsion bar. As mentioned above, the steering is electrically power-assisted. The braking system is represented by ventilated front disc devices and rear disc mechanisms.
A version of the Opel Astra Family was also produced - representing a sedan body and an Opel Astra Family Station Wagon, in a station wagon body. The basic equipment of the Essentia hatchback has:

Front and side airbags;
Fog lights;
Electric windows;
Power steering wheel;
Heated mirrors;
Air conditioning;
Audio system;
Central locking;
Alarm;
Immobilizer.

This version has a 1.6-liter 115-horsepower engine and a 5-speed manual transmission.

Fourth generation Astra J (2009-2014)

The fourth family was demonstrated for the first time during the Frankfurt exhibition in 2009. The “first-born” model was a 5-door hatchback. When the summer of 2012 arrived, this version, along with all representatives of the “Generation J”, underwent a minor restyling.

Appearance

It’s no secret that German specialists are distinguished by their accuracy and pedantry, which can be seen in appearance cars. The headlights resemble eagle eyes. It's nice that they have LED garland, which has become very fashionable today.

It was possible to achieve an elegant appearance for the fourth generation Opel Astra Jay with the help of a squat shape and A-pillars that flow smoothly from the hood. To create the impression of lightness and not “sporty power”, the design team decided to equip the model with a wide air intake under the front bumper, and also emphasize the power of the shoulder line.

This made it possible to bring some revitalization to the exterior of the car. You can also highlight the demonstrative stamping element in the form of a blade rear doors, as well as a gyrus going upward and a visual transition to the rear pillar.

Such moments made it possible to create the appearance of the boundaries of the interior and visually define the dynamism and perspective that gives rear arches massive wheels. The rear of the Opel Astra (J) is recognizable only by the lights, which have a consistent style in the shape of a double wing.

Salon

Turning your attention to the interior of the “German”, you can notice all the main advantages and disadvantages that are common to all cars of this brand. German specialists worked it out well. There is no mixture of different stylistic solutions, no clutter, an abundance of combinations of materials, leather-like textures, various mismatched inserts - everything is done in a neat and coherent style.

Regarding dashboard, then it looks quite simple, however, at the same time stylish. Expressiveness is enhanced by aluminum-look inserts on the steering wheel, doors and center console. But there are complaints about the quality of execution of some elements.

For example, the trim of the doors and dashboard received inserts made of oak plastic, which is a little rough. The glove compartment lid does not close tightly, producing a slight play. Fabric upholstery in some places it may already lose its “marketable” appearance even before sale. The center console has an on-board computer screen, a music control unit and 2-zone climate control.

What was a little surprising was the introduction there of keys for turning on/off stabilization systems, a heated steering wheel function, turning on and off parking sensors, and even a button for turning on the sports mode. I'm pleased with the build quality. For example, the door closes quietly and softly, which is not typical for this class of car.

If early models had poor noise insulation, then the 4th generation has already gotten rid of this problem. The company decided to invest considerable funds to purchase improved sound insulation, which is easy to notice if you look at the doors and seals in the doorways. Among other things, I would like to highlight unusual “climate” deflectors that can dissipate air flows as much as possible.

The Opel Astra Jay sports seats serve as an excellent example of how you need to worry about the level of comfort of the people sitting in the car.

There are a lot of buttons, so you will have to figure out what and how, as well as get used to them. Under them there are compartments for storing the phone with a cigarette lighter socket and support for a USB connector and AUX input. An automatic selector was placed nearby, which borders the on/off key for the parking brake.

Thanks to the installation of an electronic handbrake, it was possible to free up space for a compartment used as a cup holder. There is an armrest. Generally speaking, the German specialists have “stuffed” the car with enough pleasant elements. I especially wanted to say about the illumination interior decoration.

The door handles, together with the gearbox selector, received a red backlight, and if activated sport mode, the entire “tidy” changes its color. It all looks really cool, especially in the dark - the hatchback becomes cozy, romantic and at the same time aggressive.

To say that there is a lot of free space in a hatchback is not true, despite the thinner backrest front seat and increasing the passenger space in width. The second row of seats received enough free space, which provides an opportunity to feel more comfortable, but nothing more.

Pillow rear seat placed too low, causing real discomfort. The luggage compartment of the Opel Astra (J) received 370 liters of usable space, but if necessary, the rear seat backs can be folded, which will provide 1,235 liters.

The trunk is very functional and practical. It has hooks for securing cargo, lighting, a removable shelf, a storage compartment with tools under a dense raised floor, as well as comfortable handles and more. What the Germans did not take into account was the large loading height.

Specifications

The fourth generation has engines with power from 95 to 180 horsepower. Five motors from this list are supplied to the Russian market. The gasoline line is represented by a 1.4-liter 100-horsepower and a 1.6-liter 115-horsepower engine. In the city, fuel consumption ranges from 8.3-8.7, and on the highway from 5.1-5.3 liters per hundred.

The first hundred kilometers is achieved by the most weak motor in 11.9 seconds. These power units have turbocharged versions from 140 to 180 horsepower. The 140-horsepower version does not require much gasoline compared to the “younger” versions: in the city from 8.0-9.1, outside the city from 5.2-5.4 liters per 100 km.

Opel Astra J engine

The most powerful option in the city “eats” about 9.9 liters of gasoline, and on the highway 5.6. It can reach 100 km/h in just 9 seconds. A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is available diesel engine, producing 160 “mares”. Such installations work together with 5- and 6-speed manual transmissions, as well as with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The chassis, which operates using a mechatronic system, was installed for the first time in the Opel Astra (J). At the front there is a standard suspension with McPherson struts, and at the rear there is a semi-independent beam combined with a Watt device. With this suspension it is possible to provide solid agility and stability during turns, while maintaining comfort.

The designers equipped the “German” adaptive suspension FlexRide (optional), which has 3 operating modes: Standart, Sport, and Tour (comfort). Such electronics allow you to change the settings of the suspension, power steering and the sensitivity of the gas pedal.

Safety

Since the car is positioned as a family car, the level of safety must be appropriate. Looking ahead, I would like to say that the engineering staff of Opel was able to take care of this. There are 4 airbags, curtain airbags (optional), Isofix child seats, ABS, EBD, ESP, HHC. Based on the crash tests passed by Euro-NCAP, the model deservedly received its 5 stars for safety.

Price and options

There are 3 fixed configurations available for our customers: Essentia, Enjoy and Cosmo. The basic version in 2012 was priced at 599,900 rubles. She received availability:

Electric heated mirrors,
Front power windows,
Adjustable steering column,
Electric power steering wheel
Radio CD 300,
On-board computer display on the dashboard,
16-inch “skating rinks”,
Alarms,
ABS and ESP.

Optionally, you can also install an air conditioner - it is estimated at 15,000 rubles. The Cosmo version costs from 878,900 rubles and has received serious equipment. She has:

Electric mirrors with heating and electric folding,
Heated steering wheel and front seats,
Climate control,
Cruise control,
Electric drive for all windows,
Radio with color screen CD 400 (supports CD, MP3, AUX, USB),
Fog lights,
Alarm,
Electric amplifier
ABS, ESP and many other assistants designed to make the owner’s life easier.

Fifth generation Astra K (2017-present)

The world display of the latest, fifth, Opel Astra family 2016-2017 took place only in the fall of 2015 in the German city of Frankfurt. The new product will be produced at factories in England and Poland. The vehicle was able to maintain the ratios of the previous generation, however, it became brighter, lighter and much more technologically advanced in all respects.

Exterior

The appearance of the Opel Astra 5 has many stylistic features that are similar to the conceptual version of the Monza and the “younger” Corsa of the latter family. If previously there was a conservative look, now there are bright and bold design lines, along with sharp edges.

The nose of the five-door Opel Astra (K) hatchback has stylish lighting technology (IntelliLUX LED matrix headlights can be installed as a separate option) and a sculpted bumper with pronounced aerodynamic shapes.

Interestingly, the optional installation of LED headlights involves the placement of 8 LED elements in each headlight, which work together with the Opel Eye camera located in the nose area. Continuing the theme of matrix headlights, they, using electronic unit are able to analyze data from the camera and adjust the length and saturation of the light beam depending on the position on the road and the presence of other cars on the road surface.

The Opel Astra (K) 2017 fog lights have new technologies and are distinguished by their ability to penetrate heavy fog, which significantly increases safety while driving.

The exterior of the “German”, which represents the interests of the Opel company in the very competitive niche of the C class, emits dynamism and pressure, multiplied by modern technologies automotive production. From any angle, the hatchback looks like a modern and playful car.

The body is in complete harmony with sharp ribs and stampings, bright aerodynamic fairings and stylish lighting equipment, as well as refined lines and curves. The front has an elongated hood shape and a voluminous radiator grille, where there are chrome inserts.

The aerodynamic front bumper houses fog lights of a non-standard rectangular type. The dynamic appearance is manifested by expressive ribs on the sides, an actively sloping roof and blackened rear pillars, creating the effect of a “floating roof”.

The doors installed at the back with an ascending window sill line that tends to rise upward are very impressive. Adding charm to the already mentioned elements are external mirrors mounted on sturdy legs, an attractive rib placed at the level of the door handles, correct radii wheel arches, neat design of the aft part, which is decorated with modern pointed lampshades, which also received LED filling.

Along the upper edge of the glass, you can see a chrome trim. The Germans decided to install 17-inch alloy wheels with a modified design. The rear of the Opel Astra (K) 2016 is the subject of many disputes and disagreements, since some are satisfied with it and even impressed by it, while others are not.

On the line that connects back with a roof, there are narrow LED optics. The upper part of the body has a small spoiler. The rear bumper turned out to be of good quality, thanks to the smooth stamping lines. The luggage compartment lid is compact.

Interior

The interior decoration of the 2016 Opel Astra (K) has no less grandiose transformations than the exterior - almost everything is new here, from the design to the finishing materials. The driver is immediately presented with a “tight” steering wheel with a three-spoke design, as well as a scattering of control elements.

Behind it you can see the analogue instrument panel, where there is a large multi-function display located between the speedometer and tachometer. The steering column is adjustable in height and reach. In the central part of the hatchback interior there is an IntelliLink multimedia complex with an 8-inch touch screen (supports Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto).

He was able to incorporate an abundance of physical keys and switches, which made it possible to rid the dashboard of unnecessary workload. The climate inside the “German” car is regulated using a separate unit that has a pair of massive “handles” and keys.
It is worth admitting that the standard equipment is a little simpler - there is a regular radio, air conditioning and a simplified steering wheel.

According to the German automaker, the new product has quality materials trims that match more prestigious cars. So that the driver and front passenger can sit comfortably inside, high-quality anatomical seats with a pronounced profile are provided.

Depending on the selected equipment, the seats can have up to 18 settings, ventilation, heating and massage functions. The Opel Astra (K) salon demonstrates new door cards with comfortable armrests and compact handles. The plastic on the dashboard is soft and pleasant to the touch, the plastic does not creak, and the gaps fit perfectly.

For rear passengers, the designers have increased the free space (by 35 millimeters), and as a separate option, you can install the function of heating the rear sofa. However, all the same, sitting with three of us will no longer be so comfortable. There is no central armrest and there are no air deflectors, but a USB port can be installed as a separate option.

The luggage compartment turned out to be ideal in shape, and its volume was 370 liters. If necessary, you can fold the rear backrests flush with the floor, which will provide 1,210 liters of usable space. The “spare spare” was placed in a compartment under the floor. It is small in size and installed in the center. Electric drive is also not provided.

Technical characteristics of Astra K

Power unit

For the fifth family of the German hatchback, the availability of Ecotec diesel and gasoline engines with power from 95 to 200 horsepower was provided. The list begins with a 3-cylinder petrol version with a volume of 1.0 liters, which has turbocharging and direct injection.

It develops 105 “horses” at 5,500 rpm and 170 Nm of peak thrust in the range from 1,800–4,250 rpm. The power unit consumes about 4.3-4.4 liters per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle.

Next comes a naturally aspirated four-cylinder 1.4-liter engine, developing 100 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 130 Nm of thrust starting at 4,400 rpm. The “appetite” of this option is about 5.4 liters for every 100 kilometers in highway/city mode.

Third on the list is performance version, representing a full-aluminum 4-cylinder turbocharged engine of 1.4 liters, which received direct fuel supply. This “engine” has several levels of boost. In the “junior” version, it develops 125 “horses” at 5,600 rpm and 230 Nm of torque at 2,000–4,000 rpm.

The “senior” version received 150 “hooves” and 230 Nm with a similar number of revolutions. This “engine” consumes 5.1–5.5 liters in medium mode. The 5th generation Astra also has a four-cylinder turbocharged 1.6-liter diesel engine in 3 boost versions - 95, 110 and 136 hp. (280, 300 and 320 Nm respectively). Such an engine consumes from 3.5 to 4.6 liters diesel fuel, which is a rather modest figure.

In addition, for the German hatchback they decided to introduce improved engines that run on both gasoline and diesel fuel. The volume will be 1.6 liters, and such power units will produce up to 200 “horses”.

Transmission

A car with a 1.0-liter engine is synchronized with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed transmission robotic box. This merger promises the hatchback to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 11.2–12.7 seconds, and the top speed will be at 200 kilometers per hour. And for the 1.4-liter naturally aspirated unit, they provided only one mechanical 5-speed gearbox, which accelerates the car to the first hundred in 12.3 seconds, and the “maximum speed” is 185 kilometers per hour.

Turbocharged aluminum engines work with two gearboxes. For the “junior” they provided a 6-speed manual, and for the “senior” there was also a 6-speed automatic transmission. You can accelerate to 100 km/h in 8.3–9.5 seconds, and the top speed will be 205–215 kilometers per hour.

For the diesel version, a 6-speed manual and an automatic transmission are installed as a pair. The first hundred is given in 9.6–12.7 seconds, and maximum speed at 185–205 km/h. All engines transmit all torque only to the front wheels.

Chassis

The new five-door version of the German car of the 5th family was built on a completely new modular platform D2XX, which is the basis for newest generation Chevrolet Cruze. The new modular “trolley” provided an opportunity to reduce weight monocoque body cars by 20 percent, and chassis weight by 50 kilograms, when compared with models of the previous generation.

As a result, equipped Opel weight Astra (K) 2016-2017 turned out to be 120-200 kilograms less than the Astra (J) version. The exact weight depends on the selected configuration and level of equipment. As on all current models, there is an independent McPherson-type suspension in front, and a transverse beam in the rear, where there are shock absorbers, springs and an anti-roll bar.

The steering is electrically power assisted. The braking system received disc brakes on all wheels (the front ones support the ventilation function), as well as modern electronic “assistants”.

Safety Astra K

Opel specialists developed the security system independently. There are 9 systems and all of them fully meet modern criteria. The systems function a little differently when compared to previous versions. For example, electronics that control dead zones, is based not on cameras, but on radar sensors.

Available active system who knows how to follow the markings on the road. In the event that the vehicle leaves the lane, the system will begin to steer, returning the car to its place. Based on practice, the electronics function reliably. Opel Astra (K) is capable of independently avoiding collisions. The machine can recognize a dangerous approach, and speed limit up to 40 km/h can brake independently without the participation of the owner.

When the hatchback is moving at increased speed, it emits beep, to which the driver must react. If this does not happen, the electronics begin to slow down at the last moment. As a result, even if you cannot avoid the collision, the harm will be minimal due to the fact that the force of the impact will not be the same due to the reduced speed.

The operation of systems that monitor markings on the road, recognize obstacles on the move, recognize road signs, and LED headlights operate based on data from a camera installed in the upper part of the front glass.

TO passive safety This includes the use of high-strength steel, a rigid safety cage, elements with programmed deformation, crushable elements and parts with predetermined trajectories of collision force propagation. There are also seat belt pretensioners for front-mounted seats, curtain airbags and airbags.

The Pedal Release Service (PRS) automatically releases the pedal mounts to help prevent injury to the driver's feet and legs in the event of a serious accident. During the EuroNCAP tests, the fifth generation received a well-deserved 5 stars for ensuring the safety of not only the driver and passengers sitting next to them, but also other road users. We are pleased with the presence of automated parking and a blind spot monitoring system.

OPEL ASTRA - TUNING

Opel Astra (from Latin "Star") - small family car, produced by the German company since 1991, is a continuation of the Opel Kadett line.

In England, the Opel Astra is produced as the Vauxhall Astra, the Buick Excelle XT in China and the Chevrolet Astra/Vectra in Latin America. In Australia, production of the Holden Astra ceased in 2009 due to exchange rate fluctuations, making the car uncompetitive. The car was replaced by the Holden Cruze, but returned to the market in 2012 as the Opel Astra.

Astra F (1991-1998)

The Opel Astra F debuted in October 1991. The car was offered in several body styles - a three- or five-door hatchback, a sedan and a station wagon known as the Caravan. A convertible was also offered, designed and built by Bertone in Italy. Although the Astra F was released in Germany in 1998, Polish Astras in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Turkey, were called Astra Classic from 1998 to 2002.

The Opel Astra F was modernized in 1995 with the launch of a new Opel engine Ecotec. Other major changes included a slightly modified exterior design and the availability of new specifications.

The leading Astra F model was the GSi, which had a 2.0-litre I4 16V gasoline engine, power 151 hp. and was available as a three-door hatchback. The car also received an extended sports body and sports seats. However, it was replaced in 1995 and renamed SPORT. A very limited number of these models were produced. The body kit was removed and the car received a less powerful but more modern Ecotec, X20XEV (136 hp). In Europe from 1994, all Astra models had the 2.0-litre 16V ECOTEC X20XEV alongside the 2.0-litre 8V (C20NE), but three-door and estate models had the C20XE with 151 PS. Some Astra models also had a 1.6-liter engine with 83 hp.

The Astra F was replaced by the new generation Astra G in 1998, the C20XE engine was also discontinued.

AstraG (1998-2004)

Production of the second generation Astra G began in Europe in 1998. The Astra G was available as a 3 and 5 door hatchback, 4 door sedan, 5 door estate, and two special editions were also produced from 2000: the Astra Coupe and Astra Cabrio, designed and built by Bertone.

The second generation Astra received a more aerodynamic shape. The car has become more functional, more ergonomic, improved ride quality, and safety was also improved, which was provided by four (or six - on request) airbags.

For the coupe and convertible models, the OPC (Opel Performance Center) specification was offered for the first time, which from 1999 had a turbocharged X20XER engine with 160 hp, and from 2002 to 2004 - a Z20LET engine with 192 and 200 hp.

In 2004, the Russian joint venture GM-AvtoVAZ launched a four-door version of the Astra G under the Chevrolet Viva brand. Sales were poor from the very beginning due to the high price. In 2004, production of the second generation Astra G was discontinued.

Astra H (2004-2010)

The Astra H was launched in March 2004 as a five-door hatchback. A five-door station wagon arrived in late 2004, and a sporty three-door hatchback, the GTC (Gran Tourismo Compact) (in Europe) or Sport Hatch (in the UK), was launched in 2005. The GTC has a panoramic windshield option.

The car was built based on new platform Delta, so its size has increased compared to the previous generation.

An important detail of any large European car is the presence of digital radio, which was available on this generation of Astra, along with electronic Continuous Damping Control (CDC) and AFL (adaptive lighting).

In 2007, the model received some external upgrades, including new front and rear bumpers, lights and other details.

OPC

In 2005, Opel introduced an OPC version of the Astra GTC, which was powered by an updated version of the 2.0-liter ECOTEC turbo engine (Z20 LEH), producing 240 hp. and 320 Nm of torque. Standard features on the OPC version include a Recaro sports body kit and interior, a six-speed manual transmission, xenon headlights and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Astra J (2009+)

The latest generation Astra J is based on the Delta II platform and debuted at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car was stylistically similar to new Opel Insignia, and also adopted many technical details from him.

Astra received a torsion beam rear suspension, infotainment and navigation system from Bosch.

In 2009, the car was presented in a hatchback body, the following year a station wagon appeared, and in 2012, the Astra J made its debut in a sedan body at the Moscow Motor Show 2012. Also in 2012, the OPC version was introduced, which has a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 280 hp. and 400 Nm of torque. The front-wheel drive OPC has a mechanical limited-slip differential capable of accelerating the car to 250 km/h.

Astra is a very popular model. It's not uncommon to see such a car on the road. In order to make your car more individual and interesting, Top-Tuning offers various body kits for the third generation Astra. The body kit will make your car sporty and dynamic, make you stand out from the crowd and make you attract attention.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Opel Astra N 2016-2017 were identified based on reviews from real owners. More detailed pros and cons of the station wagon, sedan and hatchback Opel Astra H 1.6 and 1.8 with manual and automatic can be found in the stories below:

Owner reviews

Ride quality is beyond praise. I was also pleased with the salon. In principle, the car is reliable, the appetite is moderate, but it depends on how you drive: 8-10 liters in the city if it’s calm, and 10-13 liters if you’re drowning. The Z18XER motor is the best in this line, it handles frosts without problems, but the owner doesn’t like his head.

The undoubted disadvantages include:

1) The view from it is the same as from a tank, that is, none.
2) Opel gearboxes, but I was lucky here - I still have an old F17, it doesn’t have any special problems.
3) There is no space at all in the back (but I don’t care, I don’t drive in the back, I don’t have a family, I don’t carry anything more than a sports bag).
4) Small trunk.
5) Because of GTC front bumper With a factory lip, it’s a little scary to drive through yards and especially hard recumbents.

Review of Opel Astra H Hatchback 1.8 (140 hp) with mechanics 2007

Video review

I bought it mainly for my wife, so it’s an automatic. In 4.5 years, 90,000 km - no questions asked. In terms of price/quality ratio, nothing else was even close. In principle, Opels cannot exist without 4 airbags, air conditioning, alarm, and music. Plus another package with seats with a bunch of adjustments and other things. All this cost as much as a naked Fabia with air conditioning and a gun. Real competitors started from +300,000 rubles (Sid and Focus).

Not a plane, but the dynamics are normal. The only fault, the rack rattling in the third year, was replaced under warranty. Thoughts of changing to something else have not yet arisen. Pleases:

— Initially good equipment and inexpensive additional options.
- Small expense. Approximately 7.2 liters in Moscow, 92nd gasoline.
— Inexpensive materials, spare parts and service.
— Reliability and hassle-free operation.
— Excellent chairs, very good finishing materials.

Flaws:

— The standard radio is very so-so.
— The rubber skirt is easy to tear off the bumper.
— The rear sofa does not fold flat to the floor.
- No isofix.

Alexey, review of Opel Astra H 1.6 with automatic 2011

The quality of the trunk is poor, the rear parcel shelf has fallen out. In general, it’s a shame to complain! The consumption is just strange. At quiet ride(not higher than 2,500 rpm) consumption dropped from 10.7 to 9.8 liters. in the city. And this is not BC. I measured this in reality. But with air conditioning, consumption increases to 13-14 liters. Very scary and upsetting. On the highway it dropped from 8.5 to 7.3 (no faster than 110 km/h). That suits me. If you want to overtake on the highway, overtake! The machine is a little slow, but not critical.

In the city, the suspension seems a bit harsh, and the steering is not very light. But on the highway you don’t notice the holes, and the steering obeys as required. I traveled 525 km to my homeland. I got out of the car... and it was as if I had never gone anywhere! It’s easy to drive, there’s no tension, I’m completely confident in the car.

The owner drives an Opel Astra Family 1.8 (140 hp) AT 2013.

Hodovka. After 100,000 km - replacement of brake linings front and rear (2.5 thousand with work). Replacement of the second wheel hub with hub (6 tr. with work), replacement of steering tips and silent blocks (around 2 tr. with work).

I raped the car off-road, in snow-covered and melted rural areas, in mud, in dust, on rickety roads. I drove at 60 km/h where SUVs crawl at 20 km/h. I caught holes so that the steering wheel was tilted by 30 degrees. All my thresholds were bent. The car is all jagged from branches and stones. It’s the end of March, but I washed the car at the beginning of October, because there’s no point, there’s dirt ahead!

Engine. The engine, of course, does not tear, it would be necessary to flash it, but it’s enough for me. It usually opens after 3 thousand revolutions, at low speeds it is very difficult - it drives with the sound of clattering fingers and a diesel roar. If not for the weight (over 1.5 tons), then 115 hp. that would be enough. But! The thicker the material, the more reliable the product - the golden rule of engineering! There were times when I covered thousands of kilometers in a week on business trips, and the needle on the highway dropped at 200 km/h.

Salon. Shumka is better than many classmates. All buttons are in their place. Enough visibility. The only discomfort is from sitting; on long trains my neck gets stiff. At 60,000 km the stove began to jingle and creak, I turned it on once and never turned it off again, I only adjusted the temperature according to the weather.

There is enough space in the back, but not enough for large people. I rarely take anyone there, rear seats I use it mainly as an extra luggage compartment. The trunk itself is moderately voluminous; if you remove the shelf, then 4 bags of potatoes will fit quite well.

The owner drives an Opel Astra Family 1.6 (115 hp) MT 2013

A high-spirited engine (in sport mode the character of the car noticeably changes towards aggression), durable metal body. Successful suspension settings: in turns it is obedient and clearly reacts to the steering wheel, and on bumps it is very strong.

Pleasant little things, such as a pneumatic hood strut and auto-closers for all windows, which even some cars a couple of classes higher do not boast about. A well-assembled interior with good finishing materials.

There is little space for small things (not critical, now there are a lot of all sorts of gizmos to solve this problem), a voracious engine (city with climate control and automatic transmission - 13 liters per hundred, highway - 9), although it should be driven around and reduce your appetite.
