To add to your appreciation of this major new British car, we are pleased to announce that our comprehensive launch brochure is now available to view online.

Having opened the file, you'll notice that the brochure contains everything you need to know about the new model, with detailed information on exterior and interior styling, powertrain and chassis, environmental issues, safety features as well as options and accessories.

Affordable
A key thing to remember as you look through the brochure is the sheer breadth and affordability of the range. Indeed, with prices starting at just £15,675 on-the-road RRP*1 (Exclusiv 1.4i 16v VVT 87PS models*2), all-new Astra is competitive by any standards.
Powerful
It's powerful, too! All-new Astra's Euro 5 compliant engine range comprises four common rail turbo diesel units - 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) ecoFLEX*2, two 1.7CDTi 16v models (110PS and 125PS) and a 2.0CDTi 16v (160PS) variant -plus five petrol units: 1.4i 16v VVT (87PS*2 and 100PS), 1.6i 16v VVT (115PS), 1.4i 16v VVT Turbo (140PS) and 1.6i 16v Turbo (180PS).

Better still, the all-new Astra provides a clear demonstration that exhilarating performance can go hand-in-hand with serious economy and a genuine adherence to 'green' principles. With a 95PS 1.3CDTi 16v ecoFLEX model due to arrive in early 2010 - boasting ultra-low CO2 emissions of 109g/km*3, 13% BiK tax and full 100% Writing Down Allowance - the new model proves once and for all that enjoyable performance, low emissions and genuine tax efficiency are not mutually exclusive.*4
