Opel Astra H - specifications for a whole family

The technical characteristics of Opel Astra H is impossible to describe in one paragraph. Because Astra H is not one car, this is a whole family. A ruler consisting of at least 5 cars. The same at first glance, but different in their essence, in their own chassis, appearance and size.

Astra H began to be issued in 2004. In 2007 survived a small restyling. Changes were subject to engine specifications. They became more powerful, economical and environmentally friendly. The front bumper, mirrors, and some elements of the interior decoration were also swap. Astra H is still produced, in the body wagon, sedan or 5-door hatchback, but already under the name Astra Family.

Engine Opel Astrawhich is installed on the Russian version of the car for the most part gasoline, atmospheric from the Ecotec series. Of course there are Turbops and even diesel. It so happened that in our country today there are two generations of Opel Astra. The current "j" and the previous "H", called Family. The engines of two generations of cars differ only with the settings that determine environmental Standard. The new generation of engines corresponds to Euro-5 (a), the old generation of Euro-4 motors (z).

Valve pushers simultaneously perform the role of hydrocompensators. Thus, it is not necessary to adjust the valve clearance, this happens automatically, by means of the engine hydrocomators Opel Astra 1.6.

Motor Astra 1.6. It is also equipped with a gas distribution phase control system (VVT) on both camshafts. As for the GD drive, the synchronized rotation of the crankshaft with camshafts provides a belt. Timing belt The engine Opel Astra is rather durable and quietly cares more than 100 thousand kilometers. In the power system, a distributed fuel injection is used. Next, engine characteristics.

Opel Astra is a small family machine (niche "C" -Klassa in the European category), which is declared in two 5-door versions (hatchback and wagon), as well as a 4-door sedan. The model has a stylish design, competitive technical "filling" and an excellent level of practicality. All.

The car is focused on buyers who want to have modern car, but for an acceptable cost. Not so long ago, the new fifth generation of Opel Astra (K) was published. This happened in the fall of 2015 during the international exhibition in Frankfurt. Interestingly, Opel decided to declassify his new product early early in early June.

The vehicle has preserved the proportion of the last model, however, it became brighter, light and technologically advanced in all respects. Following the official presentation, the hatchback should be reached by the counterparts of European dealers, but for our buyers a car is unlikely to come. All of the fault of the recent care of the brand from the Russian market.

History of car

First generation Astra F (1991-1997)

The debut family of the compact class of Opel Astra, made from July 1991. In the autumn of 1994, the vehicle has undergone small improvements. The car was produced in Poland called Astra Classic. Opel Astra (f) serves as the successor Opel Cadet (E) and is the sixth version of Kadett / Astra.

After the 1994 renewal, they began to produce an upgraded version of the Astra (f) machine, which received improved corrosion protection. It's nice that the company took into account the desire of buyers and allowed a four-speed as an option as an option automatic box Switching the gear of the Japanese company AISIN AW.

Like other cars Opel, which were produced in past year, Astra (f) Body did not possess a zinc protective coating, however, the quality paint coating It was good enough. This moment allowed the company to ensure the guarantee of its products for 6 years. It concerned the body, and to be more accurate, its invulnerability to rust.

In addition to the 3- and 5-door body, Opel Astra had a version of the sedan and station wagon. A small amount produced a 3-door wagon (a similar version did not have glazing). It is very rare can also be found model Opel. Astra in the body of the cabriolet, which has been released from 1993 at the power facilities.

As mentioned above, 3 years after the presentation of the car, modernization was carried out. Thanks to the update, new turn signals and radiator grille began to be installed. If earlier turn signals were orange, restyling changed them on white.

The appearance of the Opel Astra (f) of the 1st family is called calm and a bit classic. It will not be superfluous to notice that this model is not distinguished by an inflated price tag, so many when choosing inexpensive cars, they prefer the Europeans, and not.

It is very nice that after the 1994 update, all Opel Astra (f) even in the basic performance had a hydraulic power steering. In addition, the minimum equipment possessed front power windows.

The basic musical system of the German car has 4 columns. Already then, the German company has seriously worried about the level of security, equipping its models with strap tensioners with pyropatrons, which is associated with the front airbag available in the minimum configuration, significantly increased the level of security in the first generation of Opel Astra (F).

If we speak for the ventilation system, it had a recycling of air, overlapping the path of the outer air inward. Already next 1995, the debut version possessed a new front panel. The salon "German" had a clear and understandable dashboard, which showed the main data of the car.

Steering wheel It was comfortable and big. To the left of it was located "twist" of lighting with the function of adjustment, as well as keys on the front and rear fog lighting. Seats installed ahead are quite comfortable and have good lateral support.

The central console received a "pocket" of small sizes, at the end of which informed information about the time, date and temperature overboard. The back of the rear sofa, according to the owners of Opel Astra of the first generation, turned out to be short. The sedan version was equipped with a luggage compartment accommodating 500 liters. Three and five-door hatchback could only boast of 360 liters of useful space.

From the very beginning, only gasoline power units installed on German cars, from 1.4 to 2.0 liters. All motors have possessed electronic system Fuel supply, however, some markets could see the first carburetor motors, such as 14NV 1.4 liters, which developed 75 horsepower. Equipped with diesel power installation, cars started 3 months after the output of the car.

Initially, only one was available. diesel engine - 17YD 1.7 liters, developing 57 "horses". The gearbox can be a five-speed mechanical or four-speed automatic (AISIN).

It is noteworthy that the Opel Astra (f) of the I generation had a large range of active and passive security systems. During the design of the car with a computer, experts were able to calculate the elements of rigidity. The body was distinguished by twisting strength. Installed adjustable safety belts.

Chairs, along with fasteners of seat belts, designed to prevent slipping of someone who sits under the belt. Astra (F) had an optional airbag for the owner. At the end of 1994, 2 airbags began installed in mass order. Electronics, in the form of an anti-lock system, could be installed optionally until the very end of the car production.

As for the suspension, it was moderately soft and comfortable, and with the help of a cross-stability stabilizer in front and rear, the car was well kept the road. Ahead was installed an independent suspension of McPherson type, and a sequence-dependent semi-dependent, where springs and shock absorbers were installed separately.

The steering wheel had a wagon mechanism and was distinguished by acceptable informativeness. Disk devices were installed as a braking system in front, and behind the drum mechanism.

Second generation Astra G (1998-2004)

In 1997, during the next Frankfurt car Salon The first Opel Astra family was introduced for the first time, received index (G). Interestingly, from the last generation they decided not to take anything - it was a re-designed car.

Opel Astra 2 generations were stopped in 2004, but in Russia the car continued to sell until the first half of 2005. This option is called more "jewelry" in terms of design. The novelty began its life as a 3- and 5-door hatchback of the C-segment, was also a wagon, a convertible, coupe and known to many sedan.

Fullly galvanized body is one of the factors that I made 2 Astra family revolutionary machine. Chassis, ergonomics, design, body, everyone decided to revise and design and design almost anew. Not to change was solved only by the ideology of the model - the possibility of configuration for any stylistic solution, character, temperament and financial condition of the person.

The release of ASTR in the body of the coupe and the cabriolet was engaged in the company from Italy - Bertone. The frontal resistance coefficient of the German car in the "Sedanovskaya" version was 0.29. The convertible with the roof of the roof received only a slightly enlarged digit - 0.32.

The cone-shaped stylistics of Opel Astra 2 generation has bright proprietary traits, in which you can clearly learn vehicles from Russelheim. It turned out a truly stylish machine. In the soft curves of surfaces that contrast with the edges and lines, the integrity of the former models of ASTRA is not lost.

The body also has sports notes. The windshield was decided to move forward by 120 millimeters, which made it possible to emphasize the wedge-shaped body type, visually reducing the dimensions of the hood. The salon turned out to be simple and concise. Among the innovation, you can call the presence of a LCD display and airbag for a passenger.

If you compare a novelty with your "cloth" predecessor, then Opel Astra 2 generations turned out to be more spacious. It often happens that due to the substantial temperature drops inside the car and outside, the windshield can be cracked. Even the company's management itself recognized the problem of insufficient glass strength and quite often replaced the front glass under warranty.

The pedal assembly designers decided to borrow from (c), and this is expressed in the fact that with a serious collision the pedals are disconnected, and this in turn does not give them the opportunity to "leave" to the salon. The basic execution of Opel Astra (G) has a driver's airbag, however, you can often find 4 and even 6 airbag.

The luggage compartment of the 3- and 5-door hatchback of German production received 370 liters of useful space. The sedan accommodates 460 liters, and the record volume belongs to the universal - 480 liters. However, this is not all, if necessary, you can significantly increase this indicator to 1,500 liters, if folded the rear backs.

The list of power units has economical gasoline engines, in the amount of 6 copies and a pair of engines operating on diesel fuel. The gasoline list starts with a 1.2-liter (65/48 horsepower) to 2.0 liters (136/100 "Horses"). Such power plants Complies with EURO 3 toxicity standards, which entered into force in 2001.

Diesel engines received a volume of 1.7 liters, designed for 68 and 50 horsepower, as well as 2.0 liters, which develop 82 and 60 "horses". The newest division Ecotec motors have 1.2 and 1.8-liter gasoline units and 2.0-liter "engine". They are distinguished by a four-valve gas distribution mechanism and direct fuel injection.

In addition to all, the 2.0-liter version received two balancing shaft to increase the smoothness of its functioning. As a synchronizer, there is a 4-speed (Japanese company Aysin) or a 5-speed manual transmission, having hydraulic drive Clutch. The chassis structure received serious improvements.

McPherson aluminum racks and tubular subframe are used in front (the motor is installed), and the rear part received a torsion beam. Springs, gas-filled shock absorbers and DSA system are served as a supplement. The brake system has disk brake devices, And in front, they received the ventilation function.

Standard equipment has ABS from another famous German company Bosch. Opel Astra (G) turned out to be actually practical and safe. The company's employees were able to work out security structure. During the collision of the vehicle with an obstacle, the power unit goes under the bottom, and thanks to the directional deformation of the body, it is possible to save the necessary living space inside the car.

With lateral blow, passengers are protected by power beams hidden under the door trim. The built-in protection system allows you to save life in critical situations. It possesses two full-size airbags for the driver and passenger, airbags in the backs of the front armchairs, pyrotechnic safety belt tensioners. Using the use of improved quality, it was possible to increase body stiffness and bending.

The third generation of Astra H (2004-2009)

The third version of Opel Astra was officially presented in 2004 in Istanbul. She decided to assign index (h). New model lasted on automotive market Until 2010, after which I lost the place of the new Opel Astra (J).

The release of the third generation was established on the Polish enterprise, and since 2008 and in Russia. Competitors Opel Astra (H) are Kia Cerato. I. , Mazda 3 of the first version, Chevrolet Lacetti and other vehicles produced last year.

In the body's spectrum of the German car included a five-door hatchback, a three-door hatchback GTC, as well as a coupe-convertible Astra Twintop. Over the appearance, the director of the Opel Design Studio in Rüsselsheim - Fridhelm Enlarler, who worked over Opel Corsa. and other vehicles of the company.

If we talk for a dynamic "brachial" line and a streamlined roof, a wide base with small skeots, stylish lights with lanterns and embossed arches, then they are capable of making this car one of the most attractive golf class players. It is also important that the third generation Opel Astra (H) is a pretty "free" option, suitable for both men and women.

This is not only because of the design. "Fiftemer utilitarian, despite its bright and catchy originality. Vehicle is simple and undemanding in management, and the inner decoration will not get bored. It is very funny that the windshield coefficient Opel Astra (H) did not downgrade like a previous model, but increased.

Now this indicator was 0.32 against 0.29 at the old version. In addition, the novelty has become 60 kilograms heavier, and the wheel base increased by 8 millimeters. In addition to the popular version of the hatchback, they still produced a sedan, also liked by many motorists. The body of a German vehicle was covered with a protective layer of zinc, however, based on the reviews of the owners, the questions for the quality of staining still appeared.

Interior decoration is performed in German style. The central console is not loaded with the buttons, and the torpedo, made in a single style with the hood, "split" of a kind of "keel". Regarding upholstery materials, they are soft and pleasant to the touch. Separately can please the door panels that are covered with artificial leather and styled with stylish white threads.

Thanks to the convenient seats of Opel Astra 3 generations, you can easily tune in to the trip, relax and calm down. Pedals got a soft and easy move. Steering wheel has an electric amplifier.

Free space is enough, but no more. Volume luggage compartment The version of the sedan and the universal, surprisingly the same - 490 liters. The five-door hatchback received 375 liters, and the Opel Astra H GTC version is 340 liters of useful space. Only version of the convertible has the most little trunk - 205 liters.

Since 2004, and in 2008, the German car was equipped with motors operating on gasoline, with such technical specifications:

• 1.4 liters (75 "horses);
• 1.6 (105 horsepower);
• 1.8 (125 horse strength).

There was a diesel 1.7-liter option designed for 101 horsepower. When restyling (in 2007), production continued with motors:

• 1.4 (90 horse forces),
• 1.6 (105 "Horses"
• 1.8 (140 "hoofs").

The diesel side was represented by two diesel engines - CDTI 1.7-liter, developing 125 "horses" and 1.3-liter, outstanding 90 horse forces. All gasoline installations are used in the gas distribution mechanism of the belt, which is required to replace every 90,000 - 110,000 kilometers.

A separate "individual" is considered the ODS version representing the sports model Opel Astra (H). It has a turbocharged 2.0-liter motor capable of issuing 240 horsepower.

Such "engines" work together with a mechanical, robotic and automatic transmission. They can be installed on any body at the request of the buyer. All torque is transmitted from the box only on the front wheels. The suspension turned out to be collected and a little tough, which is well reflected on fast turns lack of rolls and rapid chassis response to steering wheel actions.

Ahead is worth independent suspension, such as McPherson, and from behind a semi-dependent torsion one. As mentioned above, the steering wheel has an electric amplifier. The brake system is represented by disc ventilated front devices and rear disk mechanisms.
The version of Opel Astra Family was also produced - representing the body sedan and Opel Astra Family Station Wagon, in the body wagon. The basic equipment of the Essentia hatchback has:

• Front and side airbags;
• Fog lights;
• Electrical windows;
• Steering wheel amplifier;
• Heating mirrors;
• Air conditioning;
• Audio system;
• Central locking;
• Alarm;
• Immobilizer.

This version has a 1.6-liter 115-strong motor and a 5-speed manual box.

Fourth Generation Astra J (2009-2014)

The fourth family was demonstrated for the first time during the Frankfurt exhibition in 2009. The role of "firstborn" made a model in the body 5-door hatchback. When the summer of 2012 was coming, this option, together with all representatives of the "generation J", has undergone a minor restyling.

Appearance

It is no secret to anyone that German specialists are distinguished by their accuracy and pedantry, which can be noticed in the appearance of the machine. The front headlights resemble eagle eyes. It's nice that they have a LED garland, which has become very fashionable today.

Achieve an elegant appearance for Opel Astra Jay fourth generationIt was possible with the help of squat form and the front racks that smoothly leak out of the hood. To create the impression of lightness and not "sports power", the design team decided to equip the model with a wide air intake under the front bumper, as well as emphasize the power of the shoulder line.

This made it possible to make some revival into the exterior of the car. You can still select a demonstrative element of the submarine in the form of a blade at the rear doors, as well as a ginger, going up and the visual transition to the rear rack.

Such moments allowed to create the visibility of interior boundaries and visually identify the dynamism and perspective that gives the back arches of the massive species. The rear of Opel Astra (j) is found only to lanterns that have a dual wing-shaped style.

Salon

Also paying attention to the interior of the "German", you can see all the main advantages and cons that are common to all these brand. German specialists worked well well. There is no mixture of various stylistic solutions, adolescence, an abundance of combinations of materials, "Zakos" under the skin, different different inserts - everything is done in a neat and well-styled style.

As for the dashboard, it looks simple enough, however, while stylish. Expressiveness increases with inserts under aluminum on the steering wheel, doors and the center console. But there are claims to the quality of execution of some elements.

For example, the trim of doors and torpedo received inserts from oak plastic, which is a little rude. The lid of the glove box is loosely closed, making a small backlash. Fabric upholstery in some places can already lose its "commercial" appearance before the sale. The central console has the presence of a logbook screen, "music" and 2-zone climate control.

What was a little surprised, so this is the introduction of the key to enable / disable stabilization systems, the steering wheel heating functions, turning on and off the parking sensors and even the integration mode buttons. It is pleasant to please the quality of the assembly. For example, the door closes quietly and gently, which is not typical for a similar car class.

If the early models had weak noise insulation, then the 4th generation was already getting rid of this problem. The company decided to invest consonants for the purchase of improved noise insulation, which is easy to notice if you look at the doors and seals in the doorways. Among other things, I want to highlight unusual climate deflectors, capable of scattering air flows.

Sports seats Opel Astra Jay serve as an excellent example of how to worry about the level of comfort of people sitting in the car.

Buttons a lot, so it will be necessary to understand what and how, and also get used to them. Under them there are compartments to save the phone with the cigarette lighter socket and the support of the USB connector and AUX-input. Nearby placed the "Automat" selector, which borders with the key to turn on / disable the parking brake.

Thanks to the installation of an electronic handler, it was possible to free up space for separation used as a cupboard. There is an armrest. To speak as a whole, the German specialists "puffed up" the car with pleasant elements is enough. I especially wanted to say about the illumination of the inner decoration.

Door handles, together with the gearbox selector, received a red backlight, and if activate the sport mode, the entire "tidy" changes its coloring. It looks like everything really cool, especially in the dark - in the hatchback it becomes cozy, romantic and at the same time aggressively.

Say that in the hatchback there is a lot of free space not happen, despite the thinner back front seat and increasing the passenger space in width. The second number of the chairs received enough free space, which provides the ability to feel more comfortable, but no more.

Pillow rear armchair It is too low, causing real discomfort. The luggage compartment Opel Astra (J) received 370 liters of useful space, but if necessary, you can fold the rear seat backs of the seats, which will provide 1,235 liters.

The trunk is very functional and practical. It has hooks for fastening cargo, illumination, removable shelf, with tools with tools under dense rashfol, as well as comfortable handles and other things. That the Germans did not take into account, it is a big loading height.

Specifications

The fourth generation has engines, with a capacity of 95 to 180 "horses". Five engines from this list are supplied to the Russian market. The gasoline line represents a 1.4-liter 100-strong and 1.6-liter 115-strong "engine". In the city, fuel consumption ranges from 8.3-8.7, and on the highway from 5.1-5.3 liters per hundred.

The first hundred kilometers is achieved by the weakest engine for 11.9 seconds. These power units have turbocharged versions from 140 - 180 horse forces. It requires a 140-strong option not so much gasoline, compared with the "younger" versions: in the city from 8.0-9.1, outside the city from 5.2-5.4 liters for every 100 km.

The most powerful option in the city "eats" about 9.9 liters of gasoline, and on the highway 5.6. It can reach a mark of 100 km / h in just 9 seconds. There is a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine that issues 160 "mares". Such installations are working together with 5- and 6-speed mechanical transmissions, as well as with a 6-speed "automatic".

The chassis that works on a mechatronic system has been established for the first time in Opel Astra (j). There is a standard suspension with McPherson racks ahead, and there is a semi-dependent beam that is combined with the WATTA device. With this suspension, it is possible to provide solid maneuverability and stability during turns, while maintaining comfort.

The designers equipped the "German" adaptive flexride suspension (optionally installed), which has 3 modes of operation: Standart, Sport, and Tour (Comfort). Such electronics allows you to change the suspension adjustment, the steering wheel amplifier and the sensitivity of the gas pedal.

Safety

Since the car is positioned as a family role, the security level must be appropriate. Looking in advance, I would like to say that Opel's engineering composition was able to take care of it. It is envisaged for the presence of 4 airbags, security curtains (optional), baby mounts ISOFIX, ABS, EBD, ESP, HHC. Based on the crash tests from EURO-NCAP, the model received deservedly its 5 stars for safety.

Fifth generation Astra K (2017-present)

The world showing the most fresh, fifth in the account, the family of Opel Astra 2016-2017 took place only in the fall of 2015 in the German city of Frankfurt. Make a novelty will begin at the enterprises in England and Poland. The vehicle was able to maintain the ratios of the past generation, however, it became brighter, easy and much more technologically abstract on all relationships.

Exterior

The appearance of Opel Astra 5 has many stylistic features that are similar to the Conceptual version of Monza and the "younger" Corsa of the last family. If earlier there was a conservative appearance, now there are bright and bold design lines, along with sharp edges.

The nose part of the five-door hatchback Opel Astra (k) has stylish lighting (as a separate option, you can install the matrix headlights of the Intellilux LED filling) and a sculptural bumper having expressed aerodynamic forms.

Interestingly, the optional installation of LED headlamps, implies the arrangement of 8 LED elements in each pala, which work together with the Opel Eye camera placed in the nose area. Continuing the subject of matrix headlights, they are using electronic block Could be analyzing data from the camera and adjust the length and saturation of the light beam depending on the position on the road and the presence of other machines on the roadbed.

The "fog" Opel Astra (k) 2017 has new technologies and stand out by the ability to penetrate through strong fog, which significantly improves safety while driving.

The exterior of the "German", which represents the interests of the company Opel in a very competing class-C, publishes dynamism and pressure multiplied by modern technologies automotive production. Hatchback on either side looks modern and perky car.

The body body completely harmonizes with sharp ribs and empty, bright aerodynamic fairings and stylish lighting, as well as exquisite lines and bends. The front has an elongated hood form and a bulk radiator grille, where there are chromium inserts.

Aerodynamic front bumper posted on himself fog lights non-standard rectangular type. The dynamism of the appearance is manifested with the help of expressive ribs on the sides, actively falling down the roof and the black rear racks that create the effect of "soaring roof".

We are very impressed by the installed door behind the door with an upstream windows line, which seeks to rush up. Adds charming to already mentioned elements External mirrors installed on strong legs, attractive edge, placed at the level of door handles, correct radii wheel arches, accurate design of aft, which is decorated with modern pointed beams, also obtained LED filling.

At the top edge of the glass, you can see edging from chromium. The Germans decided to install cast 17-inch discs with a modified design. The back of Opel Astra (K) 2016 is the objects of many disputes and disagreements, since it suits it and even impresses them, and there are no others.

On the line that connects the back of the roof, there is a narrow LED optics. The upper body has a small spoiler. The fodder bumper turned out to be a good, thanks to smooth lines. The lid of the luggage compartment is compact.

Interior

The internal decoration of Opel Astra (K) 2016 has no less ambitious transfigurations than the exterior - the new here is almost all, ranging from the design and ending with finishing materials. Before the driver, immediately appears the "dense" steering wheel, having a design in the form of three spokes, as well as the scattering of control elements.

You can notice an analog dashboard, where there is a large multifunctional display located between the speedometer and the tachometer. The steering column has adjustments in height and departure. In the central part of the hatchback salon, the intellilink multimedia complex is installed, with a 8-inch touch screen (supported by Apple CarPlay and Google Android AUTO).

He was able to imagine the abundance of physical keys and switches, which made it possible to save the torpedo from unnecessary workload. The climate situation inside the "German" auto is adjustable using a separate block having a pair of massive "handles" and keys.
It is worth recognizing that the arrangement of standard complete sets is slightly simpler - there is a conventional radio tape recorder, an air conditioner and a simplified steering wheel.

According to the German automaker, the novelty has high-quality materials of the finishes that correspond to more prestigious machines. In order for the driver and the front passenger to be comfortably located inside, provided high-quality anatomical type seats, where there is a pronounced profile.

Depending on the selected equipment, the seats can receive up to 18 settings, the function of ventilation, heating and massage. Salon Opel Astra (K) demonstrates new door cards with comfortable armrests and compact handles. Plastic on the dashboard is soft and pleasant to the touch, plastic does not creak, and the gaps are fitted perfect.

For seats, the constructors have increased free space (35 millimeters), and as a separate option, you can set the heating function of the rear sofa. However, anyway, the threesome will not be so comfortable. The central armrest is not envisaged and there are no blowing deflectors, but as a separate option, you can put a USB port.

The luggage compartment was ideal in shape, and its volume was 370 liters. If necessary, you can fold the rear backs in one level with the floor, which will provide 1,210 liters of useful space. The "spare" placed in the department under the floor. It is a small-sized type and installed in the center. Electric drive is also not provided.

Specifications Astra to

Force aggregate

For the fifth family of German hatchback, the presence of Ecotec diesel and gasoline engines, with a capacity of 95 to 200 horsepower. Begins a list of a gasoline 3-cylinder option, which received a volume of 1.0 liters, which has turbocharging and direct injection.

It develops 105 "horses" at 5,500 revolutions per minute and 170 nm peak thrust in the range from 1,800-4 250 revolutions per minute. Consumes the power unit of about 4.3-4.4 liters for every 100 kilometers in the combined cycle.

Next is the atmospheric four-cylinder 1.4-liter motor, which develops 100 horsepower at 6,000 revolutions per minute and 130 nm traction, starting with 4,400 revolutions per minute. "Appetite" of this option is about 5.4 liters per 100 kilometers in the route mode / city.

The third list of the list is a productive version representing a fully aluminum 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, a volume of 1.4 liters, which received direct fuel supply. A similar "engine" has several levels of forcing. In the "younger" version, it develops 125 "horses" at 5,600 revolutions per minute and 230 Nm of torque at 2,000-4,000 revolutions per minute.

The "senior" option received 150 "hooves" and 230 nm with a similar number of revolutions. Consumes such a "engine" 5.1-5.5 liters in the middle mode. The aster of the 5th generation also has a four-cylinder diesel turbocharged 1.6-liter engine in 3 versions of the forcing - 95, 110 and 136 hp (280, 300 and 320 nm, respectively). Esputing such an engine from 3.5 to 4.6 liters diesel fuelthat is a rather modest indicator.

In addition, for the German hatchback, they decided to introduce improved motors working both on gasoline and on diesel. The volume will be 1.6 liters, but to produce such power aggregates will be up to 200 "horses".

Transmission

The car with a 1.0-liter "engine" is synchronized with a 5-speed mechanical or with a 5-range robotic box. Such a fusion promises the acceleration of the hatchback from scratch to the mark at 100 km / h in 11.2-12.7 seconds, and limit speed will be at the level of 200 kilometers per hour. And for a 1.4-liter atmospheric unit, there was only one mechanical 5-speed box, which accelerates the car until the first hundred for 12.3 seconds, and the "maximum speed" equals 185 kilometers per hour.

Turbated aluminum engines work with two boxes. For the "younger" provided 6-speed mechanical, and for the "senior" also a 6-range automatic box. It is possible to accelerate to a mark of 100 km / h in 8.3-9.5 seconds, and the maximum speed will be 205-215 kilometers per hour.

For a diesel version, 6-speed "mechanics" and an automatic box are installed as pairs. The first hundred is given for 9.6-12.7 seconds, and maximum speed at the level of 185-205 km / h. All motors transmit all torque only on the front wheels.

Chassis

The new five-door version of the German auto 5th family was built on a fully new D2XX modular platform, which underlies for the newest generations Chevrolet. Cruze. The new modular "trolley" provided the ability to reduce the weight of the carrier body of the machine by 20 percent, and the mass of the chassis is 50 kilograms, if compared with the models of the past generation.

As a result, the overall weight of Opel Astra (k) 2016-2017 turned out to be 120-200 kilograms less than the ASTRA version (J). The exact weight depends on the chosen configuration and the level of equipment. As at all actual models, Ahead here is the independent suspension of the type McPherson, and behind the lateral beam, where there are shock absorbers, springs and transverse stability stabilizer.

Steering has an electric amplifier. The brake system received disc braking mechanisms on all wheels (front support ventilation function), as well as modern electronic "helpers".

Astra K. Safety

Safety system specialists Opel developed themselves. 9 systems are envisaged and they all fully meet modern criteria. Systems function a little differently if they are compared with past versions. For example, electronics controlling dead zones, It is based on the chambers, but on radar sensors.

There is a presence active systemClearing out the markup on the road. In the event that the vehicle leaves the strip of movement, the system will begin to give the car, returning the car to the place. Based on practice, electronics functions confidently. Opel Astra (K) is able to shy away from collisions. The car can recognize a dangerous rapprochement, and on speed \u200b\u200bmode Up to 40 km / h can brake independently without the participation of the owner.

When the hatchback moves at high speed, a beep is published to which the driver must respond. If this does not happen, the electronics at the last moment begins to slow down. As a result, if it is not even possible to get away from the collision, the harm to the minimum due to the fact that the impact force will not be such thanks to the reduced speed.

The operation of systems that follow the markup on the road recognize obstacles on the go, recognize road signs, as well as the headlights of the LED filling work on the basis of the data of the chamber installed in the top of the front glass.

TO passive security It is possible to attribute the use of high-strength steel, a rigid safety frame, elements with the programmed deformation, frozen elements and parts with predetermined trajectories of the collision force. There is also pretensioners of seat belt for installed in front of chairs, curtains and airbags.

The emergency disconnection service of the pedal node (PRS) is able to automatically disconnect the fastenings of the pedals so that with a serious accident prevent injury to the feet and head of the driver. The fifth generation during EUROncap tests received a deserved 5 stars to ensure security not only the driver and sitting near the passengers, but also other participants in the movement. Pleases the presence of automated parking and the control system of blind zones.

The price and configuration of Astra to

Unfortunately, for the Russian market, a novelty of German production will not reach, since the company officially decided to leave the domestic market. But our neighbors in Ukraine will sell models. There are two complete sets: Essentia and Enjoy . In Europe, the 5-generation hatchback Opel Astra (k) can be purchased from 17 260 to 21,860 euros.

In the basic equipment included the presence of fabric finishing of the inner decoration, two electrical windows, a CD player with six columns, an "helm" amplifier, ABS, ESP, front and side airbags, cruise control, air conditioning and folding back sofa.

"Top" options have already annex and rear cameras, electrical adjustment function of the front armchairs, the LED headlights of the front lighting and rear lanterns, Parking sensors in front and rear, two-zone "climate control", cast 17-inch wheels of wheels, leather steering wheel and handle, front armrest and other.

Comparison with competitors

Golf Class is a sufficiently thick "inhabited" segment, so Opel Astra rivals abound. Here you can attribute the resulting sales, as well as Chevrolet Cruze, the classroom class, Hyundai i30, Honda Civic, and other vehicles.
