Vauxhall has showed a first glimpse of the All-New Astra – the first generation of the British brand’s compact car to be electrified. Designed by a team led by British Design Vice-President Mark Adams, the next generation Astra will be available as a five-door hatchback and versatile Sports Tourer estate, and will add impetus to the electrification of the brand’s entire product portfolio.
The new model’s interior will feature the next generation Pure Panel digital cockpit with fully glazed surfaces echoes the seamless integration of the Vauxhall Vizor with two widescreen displays delivering detoxed information in a horizontal driver-oriented format. Physical controls are reduced to the core functions in the form of finely crafted keys.
Vauxhall says it will release more information on the All-New Astra in the coming months.
Paul Willcox, Managing Director, Vauxhall, says: “The All-New Astra will open an exciting new chapter in the 41-year history of our popular compact model. We are confident that the next generation Vauxhall Astra will make a powerful impression and attract new customers to the brand, especially now Astra will be electrified for the first time.”
