Vauxhall have unveiled a sporty Astra GTC with a 2.0 CDTi
diesel engine at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The 3 door GTC is based on the concept
car shown at the Paris show last year. I don’t know about anyone else but I
have been excited about this car ever since I saw it last year, so I can’t wait
for it to be released in the UK in November.
Vauxhall have also announced that they will be introducing a
second diesel engine to the range, a 1.7 CDTi unit and will be available in
108bhp or 128bhp. Both 1.7 and 2.0 engines will be the most economical and
available from the beginning of 2012, more economical Ecoflex models will
follow later in the year.
The Astra GTC is one of 3 models in the range, other models
include the hatchback and estate, however, the only same exterior parts are the
door handles and aerial. The front suspension is the same as the Insignia VXR,
prices for the Vauxhall Astra GTC start at £18,495 going up to £22,430.
If you’re like me and can’t wait for next year to buy one of
these, then I have been recommended by my sister to get a used Vauxhall Astra Hereford from Baylis. They are an
approved new and used Vauxhall dealer; they also service customers looking for
a used Vauxhall Astra in Stroud and used Vauxhall Astra ross-on-wye.
