The Story

Why the Astra matters

The Astra succeeded the Kadett E in September 1991 and is labelled F. The G followed in 1998 and the H in 2004. In 2016 the K generation of the Opel/Vauxhall Astra was voted European Car of the Year by 58 journalists from 22 countries, scoring 309 points by most sources against 294 for the Volvo XC90 in second place and the Mazda MX-5 third with 202. The J generation was shown at the 2009 Frankfurt show and went on sale on 4 December 2009.
