Opel Astra GTC: reviews and model description

Considering the statistics of sales of cars of European manufacture, special preference is given to give a model such as the Opel Astra GTC. Experts' reviews initially predicted a successful future for the novelty, and, as it turned out, it was not just that. Firstly, the car had a very expressive design, and secondly, the customers lured a wide variety of engines. And now we'll figure it out in order.

Design of the new Opel Astra GTC

The feedback of the public noted one important feature of the modification of GTI. And all because the novelty did not have any similarities with its sister - the model of "Opel Astra" modification "J". The only thing that reminded them of their kinship ties is the common door handles and the location of the antenna. Compared with other German cars, the car was distinguished by the complicated geometry of the main light headlights, as well as the neat anti-fog lamps. The sports image was completed by a massive aerodynamic bumper. In conclusion of the conversation about the design it is worth noting that the Opel Astra GTC tuning is still present on the assembly line - wide twenty-inch wheels, overhangs, fairings ... Dream of every street racing!

Interior

The interior is characterized by a high level of assembly and pleasant to touch finishing materials. Such an interior as the Opel Astra GTC (reviews of owners, too, note this point), there is no one in the sports coupe. The design of the front panel and the level of ergonomics really make you pay attention to the novelty. 3-spoke steering wheel, covered with leather, comfortable in the hands, sports seats in the first row have pronounced support rollers. The driver's seat additionally has a lot of adjustments in 4 directions. However, the low position of the roof makes itself felt - passengers in the back row will not be able to accommodate comfortably, especially if their growth exceeds 180 centimeters.

Opel Astra GTC - technical specifications

In this (2013) year, Russian motorists can choose one of the three proposed by the manufacturer of power plants. Among them, it is worth noting the gasoline engine line, which consists of three units with a capacity of 140-180 horsepower and a volume of 1.4-1.8 liters, as well as one diesel unit with a capacity of 130 "horses" and a volume of two liters. It will be available to domestic buyers only in the "Sport" package, which also includes the installation of a 6-band "automatic" for the Opel Astra GTC. The reviews also mark a reliable 5-speed manual gearbox, which, unfortunately, will only be available in basic trim levels. But 5-and 6-speed "automatic" is no less reliable, although the dynamics with it still will not be as good as with a mechanical box.

Packages and their cost

The car will be sold in 2 variants - this is the basic "Enjoy", equipped with a gasoline engine capacity of 140 "horses", as well as a luxury "Sport" with a diesel engine and an automatic box. Their cost is seven hundred and twenty and nine hundred and eleven thousand rubles, respectively. In addition, the manufacturer offers customers to optionally equip their iron friend with all sorts of electronic systems and assistants. But then the cost of the sedan will reach one million rubles, and possibly more.
