Vauxhall has given its humble Astra a major overhaul, utilising fresh underpinnings from Stellantis, with the hope of growing its market share against dominant models like the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. The eighth-generation car aims to be aspirational. It's a looker, thanks to the Vaux-hall 'visor' front end, sharp body lines and new proportions afforded by its new platform. This might just be the first Astra that will be chosen by the heart, rather than the head. There's a high level of standard spec too, although that's probably to counterbalance the fact that prices are up by almost £4,000. The entry-level Astra is now priced at £23,805, just a tad beneath the VW Golf and slightly ahead of the Ford Focus. |
