National Media Launch MY17 Holden Astra November 2017 PRODUCT INFORMATION OVERVIEW Holden confirmed it was bringing the all-new Astra to Australia in September 2015. Following the announcement, Astra has collected a variety of awards in Europe and UK, including 2016 European Car of the Year and the Golden Steering Wheel. Astra has received the plaudits for its blend of premium European styling, state-of-the-art technology and exceptional driving performance, redefining what a mainstream small car is and taking the fight to luxury brands. Whilst the Astra name is long serving in Australia, the incoming Astra is all-new. Developed from a clean-sheet design under the watchful eye of Opel/Vauxhall’s Vice President – Design, Mark Adams, Astra exhibits the same sleek, ‘Sculptural Artistry meets German Precision’ design philosophy first introduced on the stunning Monza concept in 2013. Focused on blending style and efficiency, Astra is built off a new vehicle architecture that facilitates up to 140kg weight reduction whilst allowing the introduction of distinct styling cues. A rear floating roof design complemented by a sports front fascia and grille that extends seamlessly into the front LED headlamp design, give Astra a strong and unmistakable road presence. Holden engineering has been involved in the Astra program since its conception and identified many efficiencies and similarities in what Holden and Opel customers expect from, and use, their vehicles. Resultantly, Holden engineers were present for validations of the car and subsequently decided upon developing a unique Australian chassis tune to ensure Astra performs on Australian roads, as a Holden should. Astra is equipped with a new and frugal all-aluminum, 1.4-litre ECOTEC Direct Injection turbo engine capable of producing up to 110kW of power and 240Nm of torque with a fuel consumption of as little as 5.8L/100km. Customers that enjoy a sportier drive have the option of a more powerful 1.6-litre ECOTEC Direct Injection turbo engine, boasting up to 147kW of power and an impressive 300Nm of torque (with over boost). There’s also a big focus on safety through technology, with rear view camera as standard across the range, accompanied by Holden Eye forward facing camera^ facilitating key features including Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking to reduce, and in some cases avoid, collision incidents. Blind Spot Alert completes the list. The all-new Astra will be available in a hatch body style and will be sold alongside the Holden Astra coupe (GTC and VXR). Astra will go on sale in December and is sure to shake up the small car segment in Australia. ^ model dependent All-new Holden Astra spec and features highlights R highlights: 1.4-litre turbo ECOTEC engine – all aluminum 6-speed automatic/manual transmission Stop/start fuel saving (AT only) 6 airbags Electronic Stability Control, ABS and Traction Control System Hill Start Assist Multi-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels (4) Sports styling: front and rear sports fascia, Electric Power Steering (EPS) Rear view camera Rear Park Assist ISOFIX child seat anchorage system (x2) Projector headlamps (halogen) with LED DRLs Cruise control and speed limiter Holden MyLink Infotainment System with 7-inch high-resolution colour touch-screen display o Apple CarPlay® and Android® Auto phone projection o DAB+ o Full iPod® integration including Siri Eyes Free* Bluetooth® audio streaming and auxiliary input jack RS highlights over R: 1.6-litre turbo ECOTEC engine – all aluminum 6-speed automatic/manual transmission Stop/start fuel saving Sports 5-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels (4) Passive Entry and Push-button start Leather steering wheel Heated wing mirrors Advanced park assist (auto parallel and perpendicular reverse park) Front park assist Holden Eye forward facing camera o Automatic Emergency Braking o Lane Keep Assist o Forward Distance Indicator o Forward Collision Alert with Head-Up Warning Blind Spot Alert Rain sensing wipers RS-V highlights over RS: Two-tone 18-inch alloy wheels LED tail lamps Remote start Adaptive Cruise control^ Optional Electric park brake Heated leather appointed sports seats Heated steering wheel Power lumbar adjustment Dual zone climate control Holden MyLink Infotainment System with 8-inch high-resolution colour touch-screen display o Apple CarPlay® and Android® Auto phone projection o DAB+ o Full iPod® integration including Siri Eyes Free* Satellite Navigation with full colour mapping with live traffic updates, traffic management control and points of interest Colour digital instrument display: vehicle information menu, trip information menu, fuel economy menu, warning/messages Special Packs Driver Assist Pack (optional on R, available April ‘17) - $1,000 Leather steering wheel Electrochromatic rear view mirror Rain-sensing wipers Holden Eye forward facing camera o Automatic Emergency Braking o Lane Keep Assist o Forward Distance Indicator o Forward Collision Alert with Head-Up Warning Touring Pack (optional on RS-V) - $1,990 Electric sunroof Adaptive Cruise Control Innovations Pack (optional on RS-V) - $3,990 Electric sunroof Adaptive Cruise Control Intellilux adaptive LED matrix headlamps TECHNICAL DATA OVERVIEW ENGINE, FUEL ECONOMY AND EMISSIONS 1.4-litre turbo 1.6-litre turbo (Astra R) (Astra RS and RS-V) MT AT MT AT Engine type 1.4-litre ECOTEC SIDI, 4- 1.6-litre ECOTEC SIDI, 4- cylinder cylinder Transmission 6-speed MT 6-speed AT 6-speed MT 6-speed AT Capacity (cc) 1399 1399 1598 1598 Compression ratio 10:1 10:1 9.5:1 9.5:1 Maximum power (kW) 110 110 147 147 Maximum torque 300 with 300 with 245 240 (Nm) overboost overboost Bore x stroke 74 x 81.3 74 x 81.3 79 x 81.5 79 x 81.5 Fuel management system Direct Injection Direct Injection Fuel requirement 91 RON 91 RON 95 RON 95 RON Fuel tank capacity (L) 48 48 48 48 Fuel economy combined 5.8 5.8 6.5 6.3 (l/100km) Emissions (g/km) 135 133 149 146 Astra complies with Euro 6 emissions standards.
