IAA Mobility 2023: Opel launches Astra ST Electric - from 359 euros in leasing
From September 5 to 10, the new Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric will celebrate its world premiere at the IAA Mobility in Munich, but it is already available for pre-order. Despite Chinese competition, the Rüsselsheim-based company still sees itself among the first battery-electric station wagons on the market. They are promoting it with an attractive monthly leasing rate of 359 euros or a starting price of 43,490 euros (including VAT, minus potential subsidies). According to WLTP, up to 413 kilometers can be covered in the compact-class station wagon without a charging stop. And quite enjoyably, as the model is supposed to be lightweight for an electric car thanks to its small battery, weighing only 1,760 kilograms. The new Astra Sports Tourer Electric comes standard with numerous electronic aids and comfort features. These include comfort seats, air conditioning, LED lighting all around, and the fully digital Pure Panel® cockpit with two ten-inch displays and a multimedia infotainment system.
Simultaneously with the start of orders for the Sports Tourer Electric, the manufacturer is also expanding the offering of the fully electric Astra Electric five-door variant to include an entry-level version, available from 41,990 euros or a monthly leasing rate of 339 euros. Additionally, they enticed buyers with the promise of free charging electricity for up to one year, though this is a limited offer.
The electric motor delivers 115 kW/156 PS and a strong 270 Newton meters of maximum torque, and unlike many electric cars in the segment, it reaches up to 170 km/h top speed. Thanks to significantly increased efficiency compared to the old Stellantis electric drive, the E-station wagon is supposed to manage with 15.0 kWh of electricity per 100 kilometers (according to WLTP), which means a range of up to 413 kilometers according to WLTP, despite the small 54 kWh lithium-ion battery. Charging, however, continues with 100 kW DC, reaching 80 percent in about 30 minutes, or 11 kW AC.
With fairly compact external dimensions of 4.64 x 1.86 x 1.48 meters (length x width x height) and a loading edge height of around 60 centimeters, the practical advantages should not be compromised. The batteries are installed under the floor as usual, so the space remains fully preserved. Normally, the luggage compartment of the Astra Sports Tourer Electric offers 516 liters of loading volume – with the seats folded down, the capacity increases to up to 1,553 liters.
The Intelli-Drive 2.0 system is available on request, featuring a semi-automatic lane change assistant and intelligent speed adaptation. The speed adaptation ensures that – if confirmed by the driver – the vehicle's speed decreases or increases to the new limit when encountering a speed change. The system uses sensors and connected over-the-air information to achieve this. The class-leading adaptive Intelli-Lux LED Pixel Light, also available, with a total of 168 LED elements, further enhances safety.
