After the updated Opel Astra Turbo sedan model entered our market, another 5-door version of the car has also changed. It should immediately be noted that the new model has not changed much in appearance. The only distinguishing feature on the exterior is the enlarged air vent on the front bumper. It is difficult to call this negligence on the part of the manufacturer. Most likely, he felt that the old model was too successful to make any changes to its appearance.

Cosmo is equipped with a 180 horsepower motor. Installed automatic transmission. In addition, this version has 2-zone climate control, as well as a heated steering wheel.

According to first impressions, manufacturers have worked more on changing the steering wheel than on changing the appearance of the Opel Astra Turbo. So, the steering wheel turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and pleasant. Exactly the same emotions are evoked by the overall ergonomics in the cabin. This applies to comfortable seats, the presence of a box armrest, pleasant finishing materials,beautiful and comfortable front panel. It should be noted and a convenient display, which shows the operating mode of the navigation system and radio. Management of all this, unfortunately, has to be done with the help of a wheel and a button. I wish the screen was still touch-sensitive. At the same time, there are no complaints about the image quality. Contrast and clarity are excellent.

Passengers in the Opel Astra Turbo will be very comfortable, even if they are taller than average. There are practically no changes compared to the previous model. The boot volume is 800 liters (with the rear seat backs folded down). There is even a window to place long loads.

Feel that the car has changed only on the go. The word "turbo" in the title appeared for a reason. The car quickly gains momentum, develops good speed on the road. The automatic transmission has a manual mode, which is beneficial when accelerating.

Manufacturers equipped the Astra Turbo with a modern overboost system, which increased the car's torque by 20 Nm. Now it is 220 Nm. The effect of this system is noticeable. The car became faster and noisier. This is especially felt when the car is moving at maximum speed.

The Opel Astra Turbo handles very well on the road. This is assuming you use the correct kind of rubber. When using all-season tires, you may feel that the car is somewhatrolls around corners and has slow braking.

Standard equipment has a radio, front power windows with electric drive, air conditioning, heated mirrors. At the same time, under the hood there is a 100 hp engine. There is also an ESP system for bad roads.

Active equipment is different in that it already has a 140-horsepower turbo engine. In addition, in this configuration, the Opel Astra has an audio system with a display, rear power windows, an on-board computer, an armrest and a center console.

The top Cosmo equipment is equipped with 2-zone climate control, parking sensors, cruise control, fog lights, 17-inch wheels.
