The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2015-20) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF SS 110 EU6 SRI 6SPD is a practical, five-door family hatchback, sitting in the UK’s mainstream small-car class. It offers more room and comfort than a city car, while remaining easier to park and run than a larger family car. It suits commuters and small families looking for rear-seat space, a decent boot and relaxed everyday driving. The 1.6-litre diesel is aimed at drivers covering regular longer journeys, where its frugal character can help keep fuel spending down. SRI trim gives the Astra a sportier feel, helping it stand out without sacrificing everyday practicality.
