With the new 1.6 BiTurbo CDTI, the sprint is completed within 8.6 seconds and the top speed is reached at 220 kilometers per hour. The new lightweight architecture enables the bi-turbo variant to weigh around 200 kilos less than the comparable predecessor model.
Thanks to the 350 Newton meters, which are already reached after 1500 revolutions, the Astra should be satisfied with between 4.1 and 4.2 liters per 100 kilometers according to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). The new Astra is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, which, thanks to its good coordination with the chassis and engine, ensures the necessary smoothness.
