Opel Astra Sports Tourer 2022.

Opel Astra Sports Tourer 2022. Opel Astra is one of the most popular models of the German manufacturer, which is present in the list of available models since 1991.

Quite recently in the Network were published «spy» photos of the sixth generation of the car, made in the body of a station wagon.

Thanks to these pictures domestic designers were able to create renders of the future Opel Astra Sports Tourer. They show what they think the new station wagon will be like.

Visually, we can assume that the novelty will have the same wheelbase as the hatchback, which has previously managed to debut on the market.

As for the rear of the car, it will be transformed by reducing the loading height of the trunk, as well as moving the recess for installing license plates from the bumper to the door. But the design of the taillights, it seems, will not be adjusted.

If we talk about the new generation of Opel Astra, it is based on EMP2 architecture, which is also the basis for the latest Peugeot 308.

The distance between the axles of the German model of the sixth generation is 2675 mm. What will be the size of the wagon body, it is not clear yet.

For sure the power characteristics of the German car will coincide with the Peugeot 308 (by analogy with a hatchback).

It is expected that Astra Sports Tourer will debut at the beginning of the next year. By the way, the new generation of the German model can also be available in Russia.

Earlier the manufacturer didn’t rule out such a possibility, voicing the updated development strategy of the company on the Russian automobile market.

While there is no data regarding the cost of the German car and terms of its debut in Russia.

Opel Astra Sports Tourer 2022 Specifications

The car on an improved French platform EMP2, related to the latest Peugeot 308 hatch, will be the first electrified Astra.

Both gasoline and diesel versions of the cars will be offered for car owners to choose from.

At least we should wait for two plug-in hybrids (180 and 225 hp, 60 and 59 km without starting the engine) based on the 1.6 engine.

Its predecessor, based on the D2XX platform and with GM units, had nothing of the sort in its lineup.

The Sports Tourer 2022 will also come with two gasoline engines rated at 110 and 130 horsepower, as well as two diesel units rated at 180 and 225 horsepower.

It is known that the company’s developers will continue the style line laid down by the Stellantis.

The overall length and weight at the back of the car will be increased due to the increased volume in the rear of the car.

The big difference between the two bodies will be the trunk volume with more capacity when the rear seats are folded and unfolded. There will be no difference in advanced equipment.

A third fixed glass will be added to the rear pillar of the Opel Astra Sport Tourer 2022.

The rendering shows a steeply sloped tailgate that has a sportier design. There are also slim taillights with distinctive glowing letters.
There was a large Astra sign in the center of the fifth door.

But an all-electric version of the model is expected in a couple of years, so this will literally be a new era in history for the Astra.

Among the Astra’s equipment, the Germans have promised very subtle IntelliLux LED headlights with further innovations. There will be a new step forward in the choice of finishes and surface textures.

Before the premiere, it looks like Opel will add teasers and some technical details.

The new generation Pure Panel digital cockpit will display information on two large screens. The number of buttons and switches in the cabin will be minimized.
