OPEL ASTRA - TUNING
Opel Astra (from the Latin "Star") - a small family car produced by a German company since 1991, is a continuation of the Opel Kadett line.
In England, Opel Astra is produced as Vauxhall Astra, Buick Excelle XT in China and Chevrolet Astra/Vectra in Latin America. In Australia, the Holden Astra was discontinued in 2009 due to exchange rate fluctuations, making the car uncompetitive. The car was replaced by the Holden Cruze but returned to the market in 2012 as the Opel Astra.
Astra F (1991-1998)
Opel Astra F debuted in October 1991. The car was offered in several body styles - a three- or five-door hatchback, a sedan and a station wagon known as the Caravan. A convertible was also offered, designed and built by Bertone in Italy. Although the Astra F was released in Germany in 1998, the Polish Astra in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as Turkey, was called Astra Classic from 1998 to 2002.
The Opel Astra F was redesigned in 1995 with the launch of the new Opel Ecotec engine. Other major changes included a slightly revised exterior design and the availability of new specifications.
The leading model of the Astra F was the GSi, which had a 2.0-liter I4 16V petrol engine producing 151 hp. and was available as a three-door hatchback. The car also received an extended sports body and sports seats. However, it was replaced in 1995 and was renamed SPORT. A very limited number of these models were produced. The body kit was removed and the car received a less powerful, but more modern "Ecotec", X20XEV (136 hp). In Europe from 1994, all Astra models had the 2.0-litre 16V ECOTEC X20XEV in parallel with the 2.0-litre 8V (C20NE), but three-door and wagon models had the C20XE with 151 hp. Some Astra models also had a 1.6-liter engine with 83 hp.
The Astra F was replaced by the new generation Astra G in 1998, and the C20XE engine was also discontinued.
AstraG (1998-2004)
Production of the second generation Astra G was launched in Europe in 1998. The Astra G was available as a 3 and 5 door hatchback, 4 door sedan, 5 door station wagon, and two special editions from 2000, the Astra Coupe and Astra Cabrio, designed and built by Bertone.
The second generation Astra has received a more aerodynamic shape. The car became more functional, more ergonomic, improved driving performance, and safety was also improved, which was provided by four (or six on request) airbags.
For coupe and convertible models, the OPC (Opel Performance Center) specification was first proposed, which since 1999 had a turbocharged X20XER engine with 160 hp, and from 2002 to 2004 - a Z20LET engine with 192 and 200 horsepower.
In 2004, the Russian joint venture GM-AvtoVAZ launched a four-door version of the Astra G badged as the Chevrolet Viva. Sales were poor from the start due to the high price. In 2004, production of the second generation Astra G was discontinued.
Astra H (2004-2010)
The Astra H was launched in March 2004 as a five-door hatchback. A five-door station wagon appeared in late 2004, while the GTC (Gran Tourismo Compact) three-door sport hatchback (in Europe) or Sport Hatch (in the UK) was launched in 2005. The GTC has a "panoramic windshield" option.
The car was built on the basis of the new Delta platform, so its size has increased compared to the previous generation.
An important detail of any major European car is the presence of a digital radio, which was available on this generation of Astra, along with electronic Continuous Damping Control (CDC) and AFL (Adaptive Lighting System).
In 2007, the model received some exterior upgrades, including new front and rear bumpers, lights and other details.
OPC
In 2005, Opel introduced the OPC version on the Astra GTC, which was powered by an updated version of the ECOTEC 2.0-litre turbo engine (Z20 LEH), producing 240 hp. and 320 Nm of torque. Standard features on the OPC version include a sporty Recaro body kit and interior, a six-speed manual transmission, xenon headlights, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Astra J (2009+)
The latest generation Astra J is based on the Delta II platform and debuted at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car was stylistically similar to the new Opel Insignia, and also adopted many technical details from it.
Astra received a torsion beam rear suspension, infotainment and navigation systems from Bosch.
In 2009, the car was presented in a hatchback body, the next year a station wagon appeared, in 2012 Astra J made its debut in a sedan body at the Moscow Motor Show 2012. Also in 2012, the OPC version was introduced, which has a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 280 hp. and 400 Nm of torque. The front-wheel drive OPC has a mechanical self-locking differential capable of accelerating the car to 250 km/h.
Astra is a very popular model. To meet such a car on the road is not uncommon. In order to make your car more individual and interesting, Top-Tuning offers various body kits for the third generation Astra. The body kit will make your car sporty and dynamic, set you apart from the crowd and make you draw attention to yourself.
The third-generation hatchback Opel Astra H debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003, and the car appeared in Russian dealers in 2004. The model turned out to be so successful that with the advent of the assembly of the predecessor, they continued at the Avtotor enterprise in Kaliningrad, and the Family prefix was added to the name.
The design of the Opel Astra H hatchback is made in the style of the Vectra C model with strict body lines, large head optics and a branded radiator grille with a wide chrome strip in its upper part.
Options and prices Opel Astra H Family hatchback 2015
In general, the similarity of the Astra H with the larger Vectra added solidity and rigor to the model, and the sloping roofline and reverse-tilted rear pillars added dynamism and sportiness. This was successfully used by the automaker when creating the three-door Opel Astra GTC and Opel Astra OPC.
The interior of the car was also adjusted to the general style of the lineup. This is manifested both in the design and in the location of the controls, which you will not have to get used to when transferring to the Opel Astra H from other cars of the company of the same year.
Compared with the previous version of the Astra G, the third-generation hatchback turned out to be 132 mm longer - its overall length is 4,331 mm, but the wheelbase remains the same - 2,614 mm. The boot volume of the five-door Opel Astra Family is 375 liters, but increases to 1,295 liters with the rear seat backs folded down. The ground clearance (clearance) of the hatchback is 160 mm.
The base engine for the car is a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, which, after restyling the Astra in 2007, began to develop 115 hp. against 105 forces earlier. Together with it, a 5-speed manual or a 5-band Easytronic “robot” is aggregated.
As an alternative, a more powerful 140-horsepower 1.8-liter engine is offered, which can be ordered either with mechanics or with a four-stage torque converter.
For the hatchback Opel Astra H in the initial Essentia configuration with a 1.6-liter engine and mechanics, dealers ask for 710,000 rubles. The price range for a five-door in the intermediate version of Enjoy ranges from 740,000 to 780,000 rubles, and the price of the Opel Astra Family in the top-end Cosmo configuration with a 1.8-liter engine and automatic transmission reaches 815,000 rubles.
At the same time, for a leather interior, a sunroof, adaptive headlights, a navigation system, metallic coloring and much more, you need to pay extra separately.

Owner reviews
Driving quality is beyond praise. Salon also pleased. In principle, the car is reliable, the appetite is moderate, but it depends on how you drive: 8-10 liters in the city if it’s calm, and 10-13 liters if you drown. The Z18XER motor is the best in this line, it digests frosts without problems, it “does not like” the head of the owner.
Certain disadvantages include:
1) The view from it is the same as from the tank, that is, none.
2) Opel checkpoints, but here I was lucky - I still have an old F17, she does not know any special problems.
3) There is no space at all in the back (but I don’t care, I don’t drive in the back, I don’t have a family, I don’t drive anything else than a sports bag).
4) Small trunk.
5) Because of the GTC front bumper with a factory lip, it's scary to drive around the yards and especially hard recumbents.Review of Opel Astra H Hatchback 1.8 (140 hp) with mechanics 2007
Video review
I took it mainly for my wife, so the machine. For 4.5 years, 90,000 km - no questions asked. In terms of price / quality ratio, there was nothing else close. Opels, in principle, do not happen without 4 pillows, air conditioning, alarms, music. Plus a package with chairs with a bunch of adjustments and other things. All this was worth it, like a naked Fabia with air conditioning and a gun. Real competitors started from +300,000 r (Sid and Focus).
Not a plane, but the dynamics are normal. The only malfunction that rattled in the third year of the rack was replaced under warranty. Thoughts to change to something else does not arise yet. Pleases:
— Initially good equipment and inexpensive additional options.
- Small expense. Approximately 7.2 liters in Moscow, 92nd gasoline.
— Inexpensive materials, spare parts and service.
— Reliability and trouble-free.
— Excellent chairs, very good finishing materials.Flaws:
— Head unit is very so-so.
- The rubber skirt is easy to tear off the bumper.
- Rear sofa does not fold flat to the floor.
- No isofix.Alexey, review of the Opel Astra H 1.6 with a 2011 automatic
The quality of the trunk is cramping, the chopik of the rear shelf flew out. In general, while it is a sin to complain! The expense is just weird. With a quiet ride (not higher than 2,500 rpm), the consumption dropped from 10.7 to 9.8 liters. in the town. And it's not BK. This is what I measured in reality. But with air conditioning, the flow rate increases to 13-14 liters. Very frightening and upsetting. On the track fell from 8.5 to 7.3 (no faster than 110 km / h). That's fine for me. If you want to overtake on the track - overtake! The machine is a little dull, but not critical.
In the city, the suspension seems harsh, and the steering is not very light. But on the track you don’t notice the pits, but the steering obeys as it is required. Traveled home 525 km. He got out of the car ... and as if he had not gone anywhere! It is easy to drive, there is no tension, I am completely confident in the car.

Khodovka. After 100,000 km — replacement of brake pads front and rear (2.5 tr with work). Replacement of the second hub with hub (6 tr with work), replacement of steering tips and bushings (around 2 tr with work).
He raped the car on impassable roads, on snow-covered and thawed rural areas, in mud, in dust, on shabby roads. I traveled at 60 km / h where SUVs crawl 20 km / h. I caught pits so that the steering wheel was already warped by 30 degrees. All the thresholds are bent for me. The car is all shorkanaya from branches and stones. It is now the end of March, and I washed the car at the beginning of October, because there is no point, there is dirt ahead!
Engine. The engine, of course, does not tear, it would be necessary to flash it, but enough for me. It usually opens after 3 thousand revolutions, it is very difficult at small ones - it rides with the sound of tapping fingers and a diesel roar. If not for the mass (over 1.5 tons), then 115 hp. would be enough. But! The thicker the material, the more reliable the product - the golden rule of engineering! There were moments when I wound thousands of kilometers per week on business trips, the arrow fell over 200 km / h along the highway.
Salon. Shumka better than many classmates. All buttons are in place. Enough overview. Discomfort only from sitting, in long trains the neck becomes numb. At 60,000 km, the stove began to strum and creak, turned it on once and don’t turn it off again, I only regulate the temperature according to the weather.
There is enough space in the back, but not enough for large people. I rarely drive anyone there, I use the rear seats mainly as an additional luggage compartment. The trunk itself is voluminous in moderation, if you remove the shelf, then 4 bags of potatoes fit completely.
The owner drives a 2013 Opel Astra Family 1.6 (115 HP) MT
A frisky engine (in sport mode, the character of the car changes significantly in the direction of aggression), durable metal of the body. Successful suspension settings: in corners it is obedient and clearly reacts to the steering wheel, on bumps it is very strong.
Pleasant little things, such as the bonnet air stop and all glass auto-closers that even some cars do not brag about a couple of classes higher. Qualitatively assembled interior with good finishing materials.
There is little space for small things (not critical, now there are a lot of all sorts of gizmos to solve this problem), a voracious engine (a city with a climate and an automatic machine - 13 liters per hundred, a highway - 9), although it should roll in and reduce appetite.
