Opel reveals details of new Sports Tourer

The latest new model in the Opel Astra line-up — the Sports Tourer, or estate to you and me — has been revealed.

Based on a new lightweight vehicle architecture making it up to 200kg lighter, the Astra Sports Tourer can also carry more luggage than before — up to 1,630 litres.

“Our Sports Tourer is the perfect combination of practicality, style and technology: more space, less weight and features clever equipment details such as an electronic power tailgate that opens and closes automatically with a little kick of the foot,” said Dave Sheeran, managing director Opel Ireland.
