2022 Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer first view
Vauxhall and Opel have revealed the estate version of their next-generation Astra. Known as the Sports Tourer, it’s more practical than the recently-unveiled five-door hatchback.
At 4,642 mm (15’ 3”) long, the new Sports Tourer is actually 60 mm (2”) shorter versus the previous model thanks to a reduced front overhang. With a 600 mm (1’ 11”) loading height, boot capacity is 608 litres with the rear seats upright. That figure increases to 1,634 litres when the 40:20:40-split rear bench is folded flat.
For extra flexibility, an ‘Intelli-Space’ moveable floor is on the options list. This can be set to high or low positions, or tilted to a 45° angle.
In terms of engines, a selection of petrol and diesel units – all mated to a six-speed manual gearbox – offers outputs of between 110 PS (108 bhp / 80 kW) and 130 PS (128 bhp / 95 kW).
Alternatively, a plug-in hybrid powertrain is going to be available from launch. Up to 225 PS (221 bhp / 165 kW) is delivered via an eight-speed automatic transmission, however the placement of a lithium-ion battery beneath the floor does affect things. In particular, luggage space with the rear seats up and down decreases to 548 and 1,574 litres respectively, and ‘Intelli-Space’ cannot be specified.
Vauxhall dealers will begin accepting Astra Sports Tourer orders early next year, but prices and trim grades have yet to be announced.
