The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF 130 EU5 TECH LINE 6SPD is a practical five-door family hatchback in the UK’s popular medium-sized car class, competing with the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. It offers useful passenger and luggage space in a familiar, easy-to-live-with shape for everyday journeys. With its 130-horsepower diesel engine, six-speed gearbox and Ecoflex focus, this Astra suits commuters and families who cover longer distances and want fewer fuel stops than in a comparable petrol car. The Tech Line trim adds a well-equipped feel, while the five-door layout makes school runs, shopping and weekend trips straightforward.
