Practical, Stylish, Sporty and Spacious: All-New Opel Astra Sports Tourer

  • Electrified: Opel Astra Sports Tourer available for first time with plug-in hybrid drive
  • Spacious: Practical boot offers up to 1,634 litres of stowage
  • Clever: Intelli-Space adjustable floor optimises boot volume
  • Way ahead: IntelliLux LED Pixel Light (as Opel Insignia and Grandland flagships)
  • Simply the best: Ergonomic AGR seats provide optimum comfort and support
  • Characteristic: Opel Vizor brand face and Pure Panel digital cockpit
  • Electrification offensive: Battery-electric Opel Astra Sports Tourer variant follows in 2023


Newest generation of the Opel Astra hatchback is already rolling off the assembly line in Rüsselsheim. Now Opel is following up with the estate model variant, all-new Opel Astra Sports Tourer, available in Germany for prices starting at €27,750 (RRP incl. VAT). Newcomer will be available with two levels of plug-in hybrid electric drive, making it the German carmaker’s first electrified estate. 


All-New Astra Sports Tourer also continues Opel’s successful tradition of compact estates, which began around 60 years ago with the Opel Kadett Caravan, the first such car in this class from a German brand.


In addition to electric drive, all-new Astra Sports Tourer will be available with highly efficient petrol and diesel engines. Power ranges from 81 kW (110 hp) to 96 kW (130 hp) with the petrol and diesel variants and currently up to 133 kW (180 hp) and later up to 165 kW (225 hp) system output with the electric plug-in hybrid variants (WLTP fuel consumption1: 5.9-1-1 l/100 km combined, 133-25 g/km CO2). In addition, Astra Sports Tourer continues Opel’s electrification offensive; a battery-electric variant will complete the powertrain line-up in 2023.

Flexibility: Practical boot with, Intelli-Space adjustable floor

With vital statistics of 4,642 x 1,860 x 1,480 millimetres (L x W x H) and a loading height of around 600 mm, practical new Astra Sports Tourer further strengthens Opel’s leading reputation in the estate market sector and displays the brand’s typical talent for efficient packaging. However, the overall length is 60 mm shorter than that of the previous model, thanks to the particularly short front overhang, and despite the 70-mm longer wheelbase of 2,732 mm (57 mm longer than that of the new Astra hatchback).


Boot of the all-new Opel Astra Sports Tourer provides up to around 600 litres of useful storage space with the rear seatbacks upright, and up to 1,634 l when folded – plenty of room to accommodate, for example, a transport box for a medium sized dog. In addition, when the 40:20:40-split rear seatbacks (standard equipment) are folded down, the floor is completely flat. Even with their underfloor lithium-ion battery, the plug-in hybrid variants still offer handy cargo volumes of more than 516 l and 1,553 l respectively.


Boot volume of combustion engine variants is optimised with the optional Intelli-Space. This versatile load floor can be easily adjusted with only one hand to high and low positions, and parked at a 45-degree angle. In addition, for even higher convenience, the retractable boot storage cover can be stowed when the adjustable floor is in both the upper as well as the lower position.

All-new Opel Astra Sports Tourer with Intelli-Space can also make life easier in the event of a flat tyre. Kits for tyre repair and first aid are stored in clever underfloor compartments that can be accessed from the boot or rear passenger seating area. This means that kits can be reached without needing to fully unpack boot. Of course, tailgate opens and closes automatically with a movement of the foot under the rear bumper.

Bold and pure: Opel Astra Sports Tourer first Opel estate with Vizor and two-tone paint

Together with its five-door hatchback sibling, the exceptionally stylish Astra Sports Tourer is a true design statement and Opel’s first estate to interpret the brand’s bold and pure design philosophy. But despite all the emotion, the new Sports Tourer retains the strengths and practicality of its predecessors. Furthermore, the new Astra Sports Tourer is optionally available with two-tone paint. Contrasting roof colour makes the newcomer look even leaner and longer.

Opel Vizor new brand face follows the Opel Compass where the vertical and horizontal axes – the sharp crease in the hood and the wing shaped graphic of the daylight running lamps – intersect with the Opel Blitz emblem in the middle.

Lighting the way for compact estates: Unique IntelliLux LED Pixel Light headlamps

Stretching across the front, the Vizor also seamlessly integrates technologies such as the adaptive IntelliLux LED Pixel Light headlamps and the front camera. Glare-free system with 168 LED elements comes from the Opel flagships Insignia and Grandland and is a class-leading feature among compact and midsize cars.

Viewed from the side, Opel Astra Sports Tourer looks especially dynamic while at the rear, Opel Compass is repeated by the centrally mounted Blitz, the vertically aligned high-mounted brake lamp and the especially slim LED tail lamps.

Innovation inside: All-digital Pure Panel cockpit

Interior has taken a big step forward too, according to the motto “detox to the max”. The fully digital Pure Panel Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) offers customers a pure, intuitive experience. Operation is via an extra-wide touchscreen, just like a smartphone. Important settings such as climate control can still be selected directly via just a few switches. New generation of multimedia infotainment and connectivity systems can be connected to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via compatible smartphones.

Driver is also supported by state-of-the-art assistance systems, such as Intelli-HUD Head-Up Display and Intelli-Drive.

Outstanding seating comfort is typical of Opel. Developed in-house, the front seats of the new Astra Sports Tourer are certified by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. / Campaign for Healthier Backs (AGR). Ultra-ergonomic seats are the best the compact class has to offer, featuring a wide range of optional adjustments, from electric tilt to electro-pneumatic lumbar support. In Nappa leather, they even offer ventilation and massage for the driver and front passenger, and heating at the rear as well as the front.

[1] Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures mentioned comply with the WLTP homologation (regulation EU 2017/948). From 1 September 2018, new vehicles are type-approved using the World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), which is a new, more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. WLTP fully replaces the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC), which was the test procedure used previously. Due to more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured under the WLTP are in many cases higher compared to those measured under the NEDC. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures may vary depending on specific equipment, options and format of tires.

All-New Opel Astra Sports Tourer: Now Available from €23,565

Production of the new Opel Astra generation in Rüsselsheim has just started with the five-door model – and all-new Opel Astra Sports Tourer is also already available to order. With pure and bold styling, the new compact class estate features innovative technologies and the fully digital, intuitively operated Pure Panel cockpit. All this comes at attractive prices: customers can order the completely redesigned Opel Astra Sports Tourer starting at €23,565 (all prices RRP including VAT in Germany). Numerous state-of-the-art assistance systems such as front collision warning with automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, drowsiness detection as well as cruise control with intelligent speed limiter are standard equipment in every version. A head-up display can be ordered as an option, so that the driver's focus can always remain on the road. In addition, there is plenty of space for luggage and equipment in the load compartment, which can hold up to 1,634 litres (with the seats folded down). Lively performance at the entry level is provided by the 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo, direct injection petrol engine (81 kW/110 hp) with six-speed manual gearbox (WLTP1 combined fuel consumption: 5.7-5.5 l/100 km, 129-125 g/km CO2).

Opel is consistently continuing its electric offensive with all-new Astra Sports Tourer. Newcomer is also the brand's first electrified estate – and can be ordered now as a powerful and highly efficient plug-in hybrid. Electric version of Opel Sports Tourer fun starts at just €36,900; after deducting the Environmental Bonus, the purchase price is only €29,722.50. With a system output of 133 kW/180 hp and a powerful 360 Newton metres of maximum torque, sporty and responsible driving fun are perfectly combined (WLTP 1 combined fuel consumption: 1.2-1.1 l/100 km, CO2 emissions 26-25 g/km). As a plug-in hybrid, new Opel Astra Sports Tourer can cover up to 60 kilometres (according to WLTP 2) purely electrically emissions-free.

“With the new Opel Astra Sports Tourer, we make a real statement in compact class estates. It features innovative, digital technologies such as the Pure Panel cockpit, which is otherwise only available in higher vehicle segments. In addition, we offer a typical Opel package with plenty of space for passengers and luggage. Sports Tourer comes as a plug-in hybrid right at the start of sales, to be followed by a purely battery-electric version in the not-too-distant future. And the Astra Sports Tourer also looks fantastic,” says Opel CEO Uwe Hochgeschurtz.

Like the Opel Astra-e five-door model, battery-electric version of the all-new Opel Astra Sports Tourer will complete the drive portfolio of the compact class bestseller in the course of 2023. Details will follow at a later date.

So beautiful, so practical: Emotional design meets everyday practicality

All-new Opel Astra Sports Tourer, like the five-door model, is a true design statement: bold and pure, it is the first Opel estate to feature the new Opel Vizor brand face. Under the Vizor are class-leading technologies such as the latest version of the adaptive, glare-free IntelliLux LED Pixel Light. Light system with a total of 168 LED elements comes directly from Opel's flagships Insignia and Grandland. All-new Opel Astra is also the first estate to be available with a stylish two-tone paint finish. Under the sleek silhouette stretching from the front to the characteristic rear with a vertical third brake light, there is plenty of space for all everyday needs.


With vital statistics of 4,642 x 1,860 x 1,480 millimetres (L x W x H) and a loading height of around 600 mm, the practical new Astra Sports Tourer further strengthens Opel’s leading reputation in the estate market sector and also displays the brand’s typical talent for efficient packaging. However, the overall length is 60 mm shorter than that of the previous model, thanks to the particularly short front overhang, and despite the considerably longer wheelbase of 2,732 mm (+70 mm) that is even 57 mm longer than that of the new Opel Astra hatchback.

Load volume for the combustion engine variants with the seats folded down is up to 1,634 litres. In addition, there are practical details such as the “Intelli-Space” loading floor, which can be adjusted to two heights and parked at a 45-degree angle. For even higher convenience, the retractable boot storage cover can be stowed when the moveable floor is in both the upper as well as the lower position. All- new Opel Astra Sports Tourer with IntelliSpace can also make life easier in the event of a flat tyre. The kits for tyre repair and first aid are stored in clever underfloor compartments that can be accessed from the boot or rear passenger seating area. This means that the kits can be reached without needing to fully unpack the boot. So not only luggage and equipment but also items such as a dog box can be comfortably accommodated. And even Opel Astra plug-in hybrid with lithium-ion batteries installed in underbody can still hold up to 1,553 litres.

Leap in time in interior: Fully digital Pure Panel cockpit

Interior of the new Opel Astra Sports Tourer has taken a big step forward too. Fully digital Pure Panel human-machine-interface (HMI) offers customers a pure, intuitive experience. Operation is via an extra-wide touchscreen, just like a smartphone. Important settings such as climate control can still be selected directly via just a few switches. There is no need for cables in the new Opel Astra Sports Tourer either, since the new generation of multimedia infotainment and connectivity systems can be connected to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via compatible smartphones, already available on the entry-level variant.

Outstanding seating comfort is typical of Opel. Developed in-house, the front seats of the new Astra Sports Tourer are certified by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. / Campaign for Healthier Backs (AGR). Ultra-ergonomic seats are best compact class has to offer, featuring a wide range of optional adjustments depending on trim level, from electro-pneumatic lumbar support to adjustable side bolsters. In Nappa leather, they even offer ventilation and massage for the driver and front passenger, and heating for the front and outer rear seats.
