Opel is keeping busy, and aside from moving into a handful of new markets and pulling the sheets off of a hot concept, the German manufacturer has been whittling away on its wagon interpretation of the company's Astra. The 2011 Astra Sports Tourer wears the brand's trademark nose and sculpted sheet metal, but throws in an arching roof line for good measure. Inside, buyers can look forward to a set of snappy folding seats in the rear Opel claims should help make the car appealing to both families and small businesses looking to haul goods.
The prime aspect of the estate vehicle remains its cargo area that offers 1,550 liters of space to house all your luggage. Credit goes to new Flex Fold Rear Seat system, which allows each section of the 60/40 split-fold rear seat backs to be lowered at the press of a button located in the side walls of the cargo compartment.
Some of the other features include the adaptive mechatronic Flex Ride chassis, the AFL+ adaptive forward lighting, the ergonomic front seating systems and the Opel Eye front view camera syste. Also under development is a next-generation Flex Fix integrated rear bike carrier, which company plans to introduce for the Sports Tourer next year.
Opel has ripped the lid off the new 2011 Opel Astra Sports Tourer, ahead of a planned public debut at the Paris Motor Show in October. Along with the car, Opel is introducing a new 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol engine that produces either 118 horsepower (88 kW, 120 PS), or 138 horsepower (103 kW, 140 PS).
Eight different engines, both petrol and diesels, will be sold on the Sports Tourer. The engines range in power output from 94 hp (70 kW, 95 PS) to 177 hp (132 kW, 180 PS). At the top of the diesel lineup is a 2.0-liter CDTI unit that delivers 158 hp (118 kW, 160PS) and up to 380 Nm of torque when the over boost function is enabled. A six-speed manual transmission looks to come standard on the car, though a six-speed automatic is available on some models.
