STORY

The Astra has been Vauxhall's core family hatchback since 1980, when the nameplate replaced the Viva, and it became one of Britain's best-selling cars across successive generations. It has covered front-wheel-drive hatchbacks, estates and saloons, with fast GTE, GSi and VXR versions as the performance models. Long built at Ellesmere Port in the UK, the Astra moved onto Stellantis platforms and gained plug-in hybrid and electric options in its latest form.
