With new, more economical engines, a refined look, enhanced technology and an expanded equipment range, the new edition of the Opel Astra is available at dealerships from February 2007 at a practically unchanged, affordable price starting from 16,160 euros. The whole Astra family benefits from the model update, from the five-door and station wagon variants to the sporty three-door GTC and dynamic, elegant TwinTop cabrio-coupé. The new Opel Astra made its world premiere at the Bologna Motor Show in December. With about 1.3 million units sold since its market launch in March 2004, the third-generation Astra plays a leading role in the fiercely competitive compact segment and in European sales statistics. The bestseller will now be available with a range of eleven different engine versions, producing between 90 and 240 hp.

The Astra is our number one volume model and of considerable importance, having successfully asserted itself in an extremely fierce, competitive market. We naturally put a great deal of care and attention into the new edition. As a result, one of the most attractive and successful cars is now of even greater value and significance. Noticeable plus-points for customers such as refined performance, economy, comfort, safety and looks will help solidify the Astra's position in Germany and Europe.
Carl-Peter Forster, President GM Europe
