For a while, the German brand seemed to be focusing exclusively on efficient fleet cars like the Astra K and Insignia B. Excitement went out the window, and it's thanks to the money and tech of the French PSA Group that it can be added back in. We believe the Opel Astra will take the same approach when it enters its all-new generation.
As a preview, we can check out the rendering created by artist Kleber Silva. You have the black hood on a white body, a flat main grille to denote potential EV powertrains, and a fancy red stripe over the tops of the doors. It's obviously way more interesting than any Volkswagen Golf, but is that enough to overcome years of boring design?
Even before the Mokka and Mokka-e came out, we had hints of the new Opel design from concept cars. So we're pretty sure this is roughly the style of the next Astra. Some of the proportions need work, though.
British media has reported in the past that this car will have a coupe-like roof and VXR (OPC) high-performance configuration. Also, new emissions regulations make a turbocharged 2.0-liter unlikely. So the VXR will have some 296 hp from a plug-in system that combines electric motors and a 200 hp 1.6-liter turbo.
Most other versions of the Astra will offer between 109 and 128 hp (110 to 130 PS) using just two Peugeot-sourced engines, the 1.2L 3-cylinder turbo, and a 1.5L BlueHDi diesel. Both should deliver emissions below the crucial EU target of 95g/km. Six- or eight-speed automatics will be optionally available.

The German car-maker Opel and the French group PSA joined their forces and one of their first products together was the Crossland X.It was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 2017.
Under the bold bodywork of the Opel, crossover vehicle lied the same platform as the one used by Peugeot 2006. But apart from some construction requirements, there were few clues that could tell that the two vehicles were related.
The design language remained the same for the Opel family. The headlights shape was inspired by the Insignia GT. The floating roof-line was also seen on the Astra and the taillights resembled the same Insignia Sports Tourer (station-wagon) units.
On the insight, the dashboard design was clearly on the same page with the one found in the compact Astra, with big attention for the infotainment unit installed on the center stack. In front of the center console, under the dashboard, there was a storage compartment for a mobile phone and two USB ports which could have been used to connect to the infotainment system via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Due to its higher ground clearance, the Crossland X was able to cope with some rough terrain or bumped roads. It was the kind of car that could jump over the speed-bumps without hesitation. But since it was only front-wheel-drive, it couldn't be driven on unpaved roads with the same level of confidence as a true SUV.
