2016 Opel Astra Specs, Pictures, News
We usually get our fair share of leaks right before a vehicle’s auto show debut, but this one comes significantly earlier than usual. Months ahead of its intended Frankfurt Auto Show unveiling, a leak has prompted Opel to reveal the details of its all new Astra.
Opel, GM’s European subsidiary, is a continuation of the brand’s success in the C-segment which started all the way back with the Opel Kadett in 1936. Based on an all-new architecture, the Astra promises to lighter and thus more agile and efficient. Based on the Monza Concept shown at Frankfurt in 2013, the Astra is now between 265 to 440 pounds lighter than the outgoing car, depending on the model and trim level.
