The Opel Astra hybrid is finally available to order in France

The highly anticipated, compact Opel Astra is now available to order in France. So it completes the Astra range, already full, now offered with a range of engines. As for the 48V microhybridization model, it starts at a price of €32,650.

Opel has already offered its Astra with several different engines. Whether 100% electric, plug-in hybrid or thermal, there was already something for everyone.. But Opel has decided not to stop there, offering the Astra model in a 48V MHEV hybrid.

Which makes the Astra range one of the most complete, in terms of engine, but also in terms of bodywork, because it is available as a 5-door or Sports Tourer estate.

Micro-hybridization has many advantages

Thus, Astra and Astra Sports Tourer Hybrid start a 1.2 turbo petrol engine producing 136 horsepower, supplemented by a 28 horsepower electric motor mounted in a gearbox. (six-speed automatic, dual clutch). This allows it to reach 100 km/h in 9 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h. The 48V lithium-ion battery recharges independently during the deceleration and stop phase of the vehicle, which is quite practical in urban circulation. Three driving modes are available: eco, normal and sport.

The Opel Astra MHEV 48V, offered in Astra or GS trim, is available to order from 32,650 euros for the sedan and 33,800 euros for the Sports Tourer station wagon.
