Vauxhall Astra Review. What a COOL Car.

Introducing an all-new face to a very familiar name - say hello to the 2024 Vauxhall Astra. Could this be the best automotive redesign of recent times? We think so. Compared to Astras of old it is fresh, eye-catching and actually really good fun to drive - which mean you really shouldn’t overlook it for one of its rivals like the Golf. In other words the Opel Astra or Vauxhall if you live here... is VERY GOOD.
Available as a 1.2-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel, 1.6-litre plug-in hybrid or as an all-electric model, the new Astra really has something for everyone in the line-up. Its widespread appeal doesn’t stop there. The cabin is as snazzy as the exterior, with a great infotainment system that’s compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The large touchscreen integrates neatly with a digital driver display that gives the Astra’s interior a really unique look.
In this Leasing.com review Howard Ritchie takes a deep-dive look at the tech-brimming interior, investigates the wide-ranging drivetrain options and explains why leasing an Astra makes more financial sense than taking out a PCP.

Yay H is back!

It's a smart thing now -- looks solid and secure on the road. I had one decades ago. Dismal thing, but this bears no resemblance to its forebears!

Blimey, d'Artagnan now does car reviews. Who knew

[@eddiejones.redvees]

I have a 2015 Astra j the are sill plenty on the roads but a have not seen many new Astras on the road I think It looks like the viva A with its square body looks also the are more people buying More SUV vehicles also it’s up against the Peugeot 308 which I think looks better with its more rounded panels

[@colinward1007]

Im struggling to put the words Vauxhall and Brilliant together in the same sentence. Well....anywhere remotely near each other.

[@grahamherbert3612]

The 'K' was the end of the Astra, this thing is a depressing eggbox.

You mean thanks Peugeot,

8 won't ever buy an electric vehicle. So can anyone tell me is this electric or petrol? Sorry but I didn't catch if he said.

[@leasingdotcom]

petrol

[@Sto79Be]

Don’t buy it. What they don’t tell you is it might be petrol but it uses a battery under the hood to power electric motors all over the place, like in the windscreen wipers, the rear wiper, the starter motor, the heating fans. Can’t be doing with all that electrification!

[@Paulo-ov4yo]

It's a Peugeot

[@rayaspo4893]

It quite clearly a Vauxhall. Do you call an Audi a Skoda?

[@Sto79Be]

@@rayaspo4893Don’t try and use logical reasoning with the badge snobs!

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

It's a damn good looking car. Best from Vauxhall for decades. And I'm sure that if Oreste Da Molin were still alive, your _"look-a-like"_ would have liked it too 8-))...

[@DjNikGnashers]

It's not sporty or confident, and it's not 'beating' Ford or VW either. You must have been paid to say all that bullshit, seriously man. This has to be a paid advert. Just because it has a screen on the dash now, doesn't mean it's as good let alone better than 'the Germans', it looks absolutely shyte, look at it ffs. It isn't even close to being anywhere near as good as VW or 'the Germans', it looks 10 years behind as regards styling, screen quality & content, and technology. They basically copied the Seat rear end but made it blander, and the Golf front end removing anything interesting, the interior looks crap, I bet the scratchy plastics are everywhere. It's a car for people who don't care about cars, and just want a cheap, boring, white goods car, to last you from retirement date to death. And one last thing, I'm 54 so plenty old enough to remember the GTE, and it was a useless, rotbox, for the max power generation, there were so many more much better cars around.

[@Sto79Be]

It’s clearly beating the Ford Focus for sure, and I say that as a previous Ford fan. Ford will phase out the focus soon, and just as well because it looks positively bland and dated compared to the Astra.

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@Sto79Be How is it 'clearly beating' Ford or VW. Explain, and provide some proof. I'm not interested in just believing some fanboy opinion.

[@razorsportvision]

It's so ugly 😂
