Overview of the new Opel Astra Turbo

After the new model Opel Astra Turbo in the sedan came out on our market, another 5-door version of the car changed. We must immediately note that the new model has not changed in appearance. The only distinctive feature of the exterior is the enlarged vent on the front bumper. It's hard to call it a negligence on the part of the manufacturer. Most likely, he believed that the old model was too successful to make any changes in its appearance.

The Cosmo is equipped with a 180 horsepower engine. An automatic box is installed. In addition, this version has 2-zone climate control, as well as heated steering.

On the first impressions, over the steering wheel change, the manufacturers worked more than on changing the appearance of the Opel Astra Turbo. So, the steering wheel was surprisingly comfortable and pleasant. Exactly the same emotions are caused by the general ergonomics in the cabin. This applies to comfortable seats, the presence of a box-armrest, nice finishing materials, a beautiful and comfortable front panel. It is impossible not to mention a convenient display, which shows the mode of operation of the navigation system and radio. Management of all this, unfortunately, has to be done with the help of a wheel and a button. I would like the screen to be touch. At the same time, there are no claims to image quality. Contrast and clarity at altitude.

Passengers in the Opel Astra Turbo will be very comfortable, even if they are higher than average. There are practically no changes in comparison with the previous model. The volume of the boot is 800 liters (if the rear seats are folded back). There is even a window in order to accommodate long loads.

Feel that the car has changed, you can only on the go. The word "turbo" in the title appeared for a reason. The car quickly regains momentum, develops good speed on the road. The automatic transmission has a manual mode, which is advantageous for use with accelerations.

Manufacturers equipped the Astra Turbo with a modern overboost system, which increased the torque of the car by 20 Nm. Now it is 220 Nm. The effect of this system is noticeable. The car became fresher and more noisy. Especially it is felt when the car is moving at maximum speed.

Opel Astra Turbo is very well kept on the road. This is provided that you will use the right kind of rubber. With the use of all-season rubber, you can feel that the car is slightly heeling at the corners and has slowed down braking.

Standard equipment includes a radio tape recorder, front electric windows, air conditioning, heated mirrors. At the same time under the hood is a motor with a capacity of 100 hp. There is also an ESP system for bad roads.

The Active package is different in that it already has a 140-strong turbo engine. In addition, in this version of the Opel Astra, there is an audio system with a display, rear electric windows, an on-board computer, an armrest and a center console.

The top equipment of the Cosmo is equipped with 2 zone climate control, parktronic, cruise control, fog lights, 17-inch wheels.
