About The Astra

At the start of the 1990s, the first Vauxhall Astra’s were rolling off the production lines across Europe.

The car went on to be introduced into almost every territory around the world but sold under different brands such as Holden and Chevrolet.

In America, the car was sold as the Saturn Astra for several years before that brand was discontinued.

The following owner’s manual will guide you through everything there is to know about this vehicle, from its engine specs and fuel economy ratings to maintenance schedules and safety features.

It has always been a front-engine front-wheel-drive car but has been offered in a variety of different shapes including a convertible, estate and saloon.

Most of the models you will see on the road are hatchbacks though like its smaller sibling model the Corsa.

Some of the Astra’s that have gone on sale have been as vans, popular with customers who want a commercial vehicle that handles like a normal car.

The most recent fifth-generation model was introduced for the 2016 model year and is said to feel larger on the inside and be considerably lighter than its predecessor.

Fifth-generation hatchback Astras are offered in a wide range of trims including:

  • Business Edition Nav
  • Design

  • Elite Nav
  • Energy
  • Griffin

A high-efficiency 9-speed automatic gearbox was introduced for the Vauxhall Astra in 2019 to help squeeze as many miles from a tank of fuel as possible.
