Appropriate name for the era that emerged in 1991: Astra
When the Opel Astra was introduced in 1991, the world was in a state of change. This new generation compact model of Opel reflected the spirit of change in the best way. A new name would be the symbol of this change and the new model hit the road with the name Astra. The Astra name is the first of its British cousin, Vauxhall Motors' Opel Kadett. zamThe original name was taken from the Vauxhall Astra. The Astra had a number of newly developed safety systems such as front seat belt tensioners. This new model, internally referred to as the Astra F, also had environmental compatibility with a high level of recycling as an important step for those years in the use of raw materials. Customers flocked to the dealers. Produced around 1991 million units between 1997 and 4,13, the Opel Astra F is Opel's best-selling model to date.
Astra G was developed in 1997 inspired by Hollywood
Continuing the success of the Astra F has not been easy. That's why Opel stepped out of its own world when taking action for the next generation. For example, the design team designed the Astra G with the help of the movie “Jurassic Park”. However, this did not mean that the model was cloned from dinosaur DNA. The designers used a computer-aided design (CAD) program called ALIAS, which was developed for blockbuster computer-animated movies like Hollywood. The software in question enabled the design and development team to work on the new model in a three-dimensional environment.
Astra H burst onto the scene in 2003, breaking box office records. Reputable German automobile magazine “auto motor und sport” asked its readers which compact car they liked the most at the Frankfurt Motor Show, at the introduction of the third generation Astra. The new Opel won with a majority of votes, receiving 52 percent of the votes.
With the fourth generation, Opel omitted the letter "I" so as not to be confused with the number "1". Thus, the Astra J, which brought advanced technologies from the successful middle class Opel Insignia to the compact class for the first time, was introduced in 2009. Thanks to the AFL+ headlights, the Astra can see corners, and with its front camera it not only recognizes traffic signs, but also zamIt could also warn the driver who was at risk of leaving the lane at any time.
Car of the Year award with Intellilux LED® Matrix headlights
Continuing the long-standing tradition, Astra K also came to the fore with its lighting technology. The model named “2016 European Car of the Year” zamIt was the first car to offer the adaptive Intelli-Lux LED® Matrix headlights in the compact class, which had hitherto been used in high-end luxury and premium models. The new Astra K also offered an enhanced level of comfort and comfort by offering ergonomic front seats certified AGR (Healthy Backs Campaign). The seats could be upgraded with cooling and massage functions, as in the new Astra today.
Sixth generation of the best: Astra from 1991 to 2021
With 2021, the Opel Astra enters its sixth generation and a new era begins. The compact model will also be available as a rechargeable hybrid with two different power versions for the first time in its history. In addition, the new Opel Astra model will also have high-efficiency petrol and diesel engine versions. The new Opel Astra, with its assertive and pure stance, is also a design statement for the German manufacturer with its new brand face Opel Visor and Pure Panel digital cockpit.
