Vauxhall has revealed pricing and specification for the brand new Astra and Astra Sports Tourer, with the manufacturer introducing a price parity strategy.
In a move the brand says is exclusive within the family automotive segment, the Astra hatchback and Astra Sports Tourer estate will probably be available at the identical on-the-road price across every trim level, meaning customers can select the larger Sports Tourer estate without paying a standard premium over the hatchback version.
The Astra Sports Tourer offers as much as 1,634 litres of load capability with the rear seats folded down, compared with as much as 1,339 litres within the hatchback.
Electrified models share same price
Vauxhall has also introduced price parity across the electrified Astra powertrain line-up meaning hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric versions are all available at the identical on-the-road price across each trim level.
The Astra Electric and Astra Plug-in Hybrid each start from £29,995 on the road, representing savings of greater than £5,000 compared with the outgoing models.
The fully electric Astra Electric contains a recent 58.3kWh battery and delivers as much as 281 miles of driving range on a single charge for the hatchback, or 276 miles for the Sports Tourer (WLTP).
Plug-in hybrid versions mix a 1.6-litre petrol engine with a 17.2kWh battery to deliver as much as 52 miles of electrical driving range, while a 48V hybrid option provides improved efficiency without the necessity for charging.
Set to be available to order from June with UK deliveries from July, the Astra range is obtainable in three trim levels, Griffin, GS and Ultimate, with features including the Pure Panel infotainment system with a 10-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control and ergonomic Intelli-Seats constructed from recycled materials.
