Opel is preparing to expand its Astra line-up with the addition of a new sedan set to make its official debut at the Paris Auto Show later this year. The new version will go on sale next to the standard Astra hatchback, the GTC, and the OPC version set to be released next month at the Geneva Motor Show.
These spy shots reveal that the sedan version of the Astra is heavily inspired by its hatchback brother in terms of its design, until you get to the rear end. The back of the Astra has been adapted to a sedan style, seemingly inspired by the Opel Insignia.
The engine line-up for the Astra sedan will be carried over from the hatchback, meaning a choice of eight different engines mated to a six speed transmission. The diesel options will range from 1.3 to 2.0 Liters producing anywhere from 95 HP up to 160 HP. The gas burners will displace from 1.4 to 1.6 Liters and will pump out anywhere from 100 HP to 180 HP.
More details on the future Opel Astra sedan will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
