Opel Astra | Innovations & Features

Test drive

Looking forward

There’s no chance of mistaking the new Opel Astra for just another car. Every line and curve makes it clear that this is the future of driving. From the bold sweep of the signature Opel Vizor^® leading the way at the front to the sheer, taut surfaces that give the new Astra it’s distinctly sporty confident stance, every unique aspect and unexpeted feature makes it stand out from the crowd.

Outstanding interior

Experience a new world of next-generation interior design and innovation. Inside the new Astra you’ll discover the new and improved digitally-detoxed Opel Pure Panel® that streamlines driver information like never before. Relax in Ergonomic Active Front Seats trimmed in luxurious Alcantara. Surround yourself with space, technology and pure, uncluttered comfort thanks to state-of-the-art connectivity.

Style on top

Now’s your chance to unfollow ordinary, because standing out has never felt so easy. Take personal style to the next level with the Astra's bold visual enhancements, such as a sleek black accent roof.

Roll with the best

Had enough of following the crowd? Getting uncomfortable with sameness? Celebrate your individuality with the extra visual dynamism of the new Opel Astra's special lightweight alloy wheels. Available in a sporty range of bold and pure style options, these wheels make the new Astra look as exciting as it is to drive.

Brilliant from every angle

The purest design is clean in line and execution, which is why everything down to the finest details of the new Opel Astra are efficient and perfectly balanced. Sharply precise German proportions follow a compass principle where even energy-saving rear LED lights perfectly harmonize with the visual axis.

Face the future

You’re face to face with the boldest hatch around. Where other cars would have an everyday grille, the Opel Astra features the signature Opel Vizor^®. This striking panel is pure German form-follows-function design, sleekly integrating front-end devices, sensors and functions into a single smooth sweep.

IntelliLux^® pixel lights

IntelliLux LED® Matrix Lights are not your regular headlights. This adaptive technological feature radically improves visibility, consisting of 168 LED lights that are able to shut off individually. This means that the maximum amount of the road remains illuminated with the clarity of powerful high beams, while small parts are darkened to avoid dazzling other drivers.

Intelli-HUD

The Astra's optional Intelli-HUD (Head up Display) feels truly futuristic, projecting essential information directly onto the windscreen and comfortably into the driver's field of vision. This latest generation of Opel’s HUD technology extends the projection-field and enhances resolution, and can be set to show different pages linked to the Instrument Panel, including pop-up alerts, incoming calls and media information.

Intelli-Drive 1.0

This system combines the capabilities of three of Astra’s most technologically advanced features to give you unparalleled command and control of your journey. Intelli-Drive 1.0 integrates Lane Positioning Assist (LPA) which allows Astra to gently correct steering to help you more stably stay between the lanes. It also includes Lane Change Assist, which lets you know if another vehicle is quickly approaching you from behind or driving into your blind spot, plus Rear Cross Traffic Alert which warns you of anything approaching while you’re reversing, including cyclists or pedestrians, from as far as 40 meters away.

Intelli-Vision

The Intelli-Vision activates automatically when you put Astra into reverse (or on-demand) and uses four cameras placed around the car. The HD and real-time images are the best support to check the surroundings of the car. Switch between individual cameras to get a clear view of any approaching cross-traffic and make parking in even the snuggest spots a breeze.

Intelli-Drive 2.0

Intelli-Drive 2.0 is Opel’s most advanced and intuitive assistance technologies working together to make the new Astra the safest and most relaxing driving experience we’ve ever built. This system integrates multiple features, including Curve Speed Adaptation (CSA) which calculates and adapts Astra’s acceleration during high-speed bends for maximum comfort and control. Another feature included is Advanced Intelligent Speed Adaptation (A-ISA) which monitors road signs and offers to slow down or speed up accordingly and will even compensate for weather conditions. Intelli-Drive 2.0 also has Semi-Automated Lane Change (SALC) which detects when you’re switching lanes and can be given the job of doing the manoeuvring for you.
