The New Opel Astra

Opel Astra

The next-generation Astra will be based on the Delta II platform, and is scheduled to debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show (September 17–27, 2009).

The car has taken most of its styling from the new Opel Insignia, with many of the higher options fitted as standard.

Full production came on line at Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port Plant at the end of September 2009.

The first new Astra’s to hit the streets will be used by the police with the UK police showing a full range in police livery.
