  • Insignia offered in turbo petrol and turbo diesel, sedan and Sports Tourer, from $38,490*

Opel Australia today announced pricing and specification for the entire Opel launch line-up, offering German engineering and design to Australians at an accessible price.

With engines ranging from 1.4 naturally – aspirated Corsa models, to the all-turbo line-up of petrol and diesel Astra and Insignia variants, Opel Australia offers a new alternative for many driver. Innovations abound, with AGR certified seats, AFL+ advanced lighting system, FlexRide adaptive chassis control and many other optionally available technologies across the range.

With 150 years of history behind them in Europe, Opel are ready to now carve out their own piece of history locally.  Opel vehicles will go on sale through the 17 dedicated Opel dealerships across Australia in September.


Opel Corsa

Available in both a 3-door and 5-door, the 1.4 Corsa offers driving fun and safety. The 3-door Colour Edition is the most stylish member of the Corsa range, and allows customers to select their preferred colour from Flaming Yellow, Magma Red, Casablanca White and Carbon Flash Black to wed with glossy black roof and mirror caps. Also available is the option of sport suspension and 17-inch gloss black alloys.

Offering 5 star EuroNCAP safety, a maximum of 1,100 litres of load capacity on 5-door model, the option of AFL forward lighting system, and sporty steering and handling, the Opel Corsa fits into the light car class.


Opel Astra

Available in Hatch and Sports Tourer body-styles, the Astra is back, and better than ever. Former versions of the Astra, in several generations, have been sold in Australia with the Holden badge as an brand identifier. Its silhouette and details give the car a fresh, sporty appearance, and a steeply-raked windshield and falling rear roofline, adding visual attraction to the traditional hatchback and wagon formats.

Three turbo-charged engines are on offer across the Astra range. The entry point to the Astra range, the Astra 5-door Hatch offered in manual and automatic transmission in both a 1.4 T petrol engine, plus 2.0T Diesel.

Generously appointed, the Astra Select 5- door Hatch similarly offers manual and automatic transmissions across both a 1.6 T petrol engine, plus 2.0T Diesel.

Topping the Astra range is the Astra Sports 5-Door Hatch, available in 1.6T manual and automatic.

Innovations such as FlexRide adaptive chassis control to select the preferred driver mode, AGR accredited seats and AFL+ Advanced Forward Lighting are available, meaning customers can access sophisticated technologies more often matched to the premium segment, but at an accessible price point.

The clever combination of McPherson strut forward chassis with Watts’ link rear axle means dynamic and agile cornering, whilst never compromising on driving comfort.

With standard inclusions such as USB/iPod®  connectivity with voice control, 16-inch (entry Astra) 17-inch (Select Models) and 18-inch alloys (on Sports models), electric power steering and cruise control, to name only a few of the many, the Opel Astra has never before offered such a sleek and agile package, offering so much value.


Opel Astra GTC

Offering stunning design with dramatic proportions and exquisite surfacing, but still perfect for everyday use and packed with innovative technologies, the Astra GTC is apealling.

Engine variants on offer include 1.4T manual and automatic, plus manual 1.6T, the GTC dishes up a premium front axle lay-out with HiPerStrut – High Performance Strut – that ideally combines with the clever Watt’s link rear axle to provide unmatched stability and the sharpest driving precision. Such sophisticated front axle architecture is usually only found in high-performance vehicles, but thanks to the GTC, is now available more broadly.

Opel’s intelligent, fully-adaptive FlexRide chassis control system, optionally available on the Astra GTC Sport, enhances driving stability with better cornering behaviour and steering response, by automatically adapting to road conditions, cornering speed, vehicle movements and individual driving style. In addition, FlexRide offers three different settings, enabling a change to the car’s character on demand by the push of a button: drivers can choose between the balanced Standard mode, the comfort-oriented Tour mode or the more dynamic Sport mode.

Add to this technologies such as Start/Stop, Adaptive Forward Lighting system, six-speed transmissions, premium infotainment systems and standard features such as LED ambient lighting in roof and centre consoles and doors, power mirrors, illuminated sunshades and air-conditioning (dual-zone climate control and front heat seating standard on the Astra GTC Sport) and it’s easy to see why the Astra GTC stands apart from the crowd as an attainable sporty car.

With generous standard specification on both the standard and Select models, the standard Insignia comes equipped with creature comforts such as front seat heating, dual-zone climate control, auto headlamps, seven premium speakers, USB input with iPod®  connectivity, leather steering wheel and striking 17-inch alloy wheels. Additions such as Satellite Navigation and 18-inch alloy wheels are similarly priced to please, at just $1,500 and $500 respectively.

The Select models offer even more standard inclusions, such as a 7-inch colour information display, LED daytime running lamps and bi-xenon headlamps, plus the innovative AFL+ lighting system, satellite navigation, front seat ventilation, and sporty enhancements including 19-inch alloy wheels, sports leather steering wheel and  sports alloy pedals.
