Elegance Estate in a bright color would be a really sweet car it seems! Really sad that they dont offer that trim where I live. GS Line and Ultimate is not bad from the outside but are tired of dark interiors :(
Nice car, but the previous model was really good looking. Btw I think Thomas is a bit spoiled by often driving the high end cars. We who don´t do that are not that picky about the interior materials.
Hello, the Pure Panel Pro seems to be installed in the vehicle. In the configurator, this is actually not selectable at the moment, do you have more information on this?
I ordered mine Astra in December. And my Opel Dealer told me that the Pure Panel Pro was originally going to be made in Ukraine but production now went to India. Because of this they removed the option and just give all trim levels right now the normal Pure Panel. So you can’t find it anymore in the option list. This means that all ordered Astra’s are converted to the new model year and no matter which trim level will come right now with the normal Pure Panel. He didn’t have any information when the Pure Panel Pro option and also Intellidrive 2.0 comes back. Only thing you can do if you already ordered is like I did and ask your dealer to postpone your order until hopefully the options come back. So I’m also waiting 😢, the only thing he could tell me is that Opel really wants te resolve the Pure Panel Pro fast. So hopefully a couple months. The Intellidrive 2.0 he was less optimistic about.
From which country are you ordering? I ordered my Astra ST PHEV Bus.Elegance with PPP in February and I did not get any feedback from Dealer that the PPP would not be delivered....(it was part of Business Pack) is this information Publicly available or do I need to verify this with the Dealer?
@@wouter211081 Hi Wouter I’ve order my Astra with an dealer in Belgium. And I myself did also not get any feedback or notice. It was only when I discovered myself that Opel changed the model year and removed the options in the configurator that I asked and informed about it with my garage. So as far as I know both Pure Panel Pro and Intellidrive 2.0 are not available on all trim levels even business. This is also confirmed with all newly received Astra’s with dealers. Because they all come with the normale Pure Panel even the Ultimate models. I still am frustrated with Opel about the lack of clear communication. My situation and this issue is with the normal hatch which started mass production. For the sports tourer the issue could be resolved with the missing options before mass productions. But I’m not sure.

Amazingly detailed Review as you can only find on Autogehühl with Thomas, you are really the Leading Car Channel on YT! I actually ordered this car as Next Company car: The 1.6 turbo PHEV motor in Buss.Elegance trim with fast charger in 🌶️-RED! Hope to get in In 2 months.... It replaces my current Seat Leon ST with 1.6TDI-DSG which is much slower....😅 This Opel Astra ST Is very good value for money and with 360NM Torque and 180HP THE only choice for a fun drive. Design Wise its very modern. Biggest competitor is NOT the VW Golf but Skoda Octavia / Renault Megane. And this is by far the winning car I think (SPECS/PRICE) The Peugeot 308 is also great but less practical and more expensive.,. Thanks for the great Video! Grtz from Holland!
Really like the flared wheel arches exterior design. Also, I think Thomas is very proud of his height which he mentions a few times in all of his videos haha.
This Opel killed the VW Golf. Better "much" looking, very german . The cabin is done in fair materials And are not strange ! In use Looks very new Fair tech (and it works ok) not operated by a 286 cpu as the golf/ ID models😆 Good economy figures for 1.2 130hp VW Golf on the other hand: Still more! and a little better drivetrains More roomy BUT sadly VW has pissed in their pants "focused on earning money after Dieselgate" That they now use cheap materials "not more close to premium" Many luxury features/finishing are dropped! And that awful slow infotainment 😢
Peugeot with Opel badge... disgrace :-). I hate that they killed Zafira, or that Zafira is now a "bus". This car is to small for me, looks nice, but to small, not friendly for tall people.
If the Sports Tourer was so popular makes me wonder why they killed the Insignia Sports Tourer so early in that models life. I once had the Country Tourer model which also had a very short life.
Don't like them big wheels if you ask me.. stiff as a frozen poop. Can you not get higher trims with 16 inch? Also enjoyed you bashing the feelless french steering wheel of Peugeot and praising the superior german one in Opel :D
The new designs on Vauxhalls are great, what's not so good are the tiny rear indicator lights. Can't see em on bright, sunny days or when the driver brakes, dangerous.
Thank you, finally a review with proper information. I am the same height 6ft 3" and currently have a SEAT Ateca and I want a change. Your review helped so I ordered one. I have gone for Blue, Ultimate, Astra Sporty Tourer . The review definitely helped with my decision. Thank you.
I think that the front design resemble with the Camaro more sportier then the old generation, nice interior also except the steering wheel. I didn't expect much from Peugeot design but with the help of Opel they designed a better 308, rebadged astra. The astra h model was the best looking astra of all times in my opinion.
What most designers get wrong about estates is they drop the belt line in the end, giving the car a tired, old-ish look and they have made it here too; the rear looks so heavy.
Thank you for the extensive review and in-depth walkaround of the car. I am looking forward to see how the EV version of the Astra Sports Tourer will perform. The overall design and practicality of this car looks really great and with an electric powertrain it will definitely have my attention.
What a great video. Really in depth on alle the difference between the different models. Is the Pure Panel Pro standard on the Elegance as well? Have ordered the Elegance Buisiness Edition in april 2022. Not sure which one will be included. It will be all black. Curious how it will look in real life. Have not seen the model in black yet.
Opel / Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer 2022 2023 look good ! Opel has not been in USA in decades - classic Opel GT is still an iconic sports car ! Slainte' ! Cheers !
Not bad, but the front and lights should be slightly larger. The proportions of the wagon, especially in the blue color, make it look a bit close to a minivan.
Nice car, but still happy with my Seat Leon, VERY similar vehicles but the Seat ticks my boxes a little bit more. I agree three cylinder turbos sounds great, it sounds like a formula racing car when building up speed for the freeway :)
Rather more smootg speed than a thrummy unrefined 3cyl drone. Is why I’d go with a golf or leon regardless of the interesting looks of this and the 308.
I have opel astra j and had the previous model to. I really dont like this new design its just not right. Astra k was already a flop and now this? I just stick with mij astra j in my eyes that the best model..
Your voice is so calming. Sometimes I use the Thomas videos to fall asleep 🙂 Ofc not because they are boring 😀. You should team up with one of these "fall asleep apps" 😀
Looking at the astra sports tourer gs line cause we cant get the elegance trim in the uk still a amazing car tho well done Vauxhall and thanks for the amazing review
I don't know... It looks so heavy! Almost as if the wagon was fully loaded while being completely empty. I need to get used to this design. As for the interior, I like it. I like it a lot. Opel has truly upped their game! Good work!
I watch a lot of car reviews, but unfortunately they never test the car with a full load (say 4 people and their holiday luggage). My experience with the Astra Estate (sports tourer) G, H and K is that the rear suspension is (was) not up for the job. In the models H and K I had to fit auxiliary springs to deal with the extra weight. This doesn't make sense because the reason for buying an estate car is to be able to carry a load of stuff. Otherwise I am still very happy with my Sports Tourer model K (as I was with the models G and H. This new Sports Tourer is a bit of a step back compared to the previous model when it comes to passenger space on the rear seats. Needless to say that I will hang on to my Sports Tourer K for the foreseeable future.
Behind the large compartment in the center console Is a real aluminum strip placed in order to reduce wear on the panel when using the compartment. At least it's something... However, the manual gearbox is preferable.

Such a strong design, unashamedly German. Reminds me of 90s Mercs & BMWs.
Makes me wonder why Citroen was ever pressured to emulate German _style_

The PSA, sorry Stellantis, engines aren't a patch on what GM were coming out with before they sold them
This with the 1.4 150bhp engine would be a fine daily car. Better still the 1.6 one. Although economy wise not so great.

Horrible. And I haven't even mentioned the 3 cylinders yet / Und die 3 Zylinder habe ich noch gar nicht erwähnt

Good job OPEL
This body needs 200 hp to 300 hp with turbocharged … work on it opel You will be happy in the end 👏👏
Agreed. The 1.6T Astra K with 200 hp was just great.
To bad they will never make a car as well as a super boss again to knock them dead 😢
The kind of car you get from Hertz at the airport
Any trim level that removes the pianoblack plastic?
Unfortunately no, it’s a trend with all new Opels right now
Elegance Estate in a bright color would be a really sweet car it seems!
Really sad that they dont offer that trim where I live. GS Line and Ultimate is not bad from the outside but are tired of dark interiors :(
Be glad you get any at all, these are not sold in the U.S.
steering wheel is really ugly but otherwise the interior is ok. Exterior looks really nice in grey with black roof :)
Australia had OPEL once upon a time... Somehow, we managed to loose it.
A loose Opel is still an Opel, if a bit loose. Maybe you chaps have managed to lose it instead?
It was sold…it was all about $$$!
You have Holden, that's Opel.

@@fortheloveofnoise Well, as we say here in Sweden: Our taste is like our behind, divided. 😱
Great review of the Astra Sports Tourer Thomas. Looks a stunning design and well finished.
It's so obvious that PSA bought them haha.. Looks great, but awful engines
Great design, but the three cylinder petrol engine is what puts me off this car. The Octavia is much more versatile.
Vauxhall have knocked this out of the park. Great looking inside and out and has superb tech. I'd choose one of these over the 308 and Golf.
In your opinion, I think it looks terrible.
308 is basicaly the same car though just different styling.
@@danielstefanovic2604 also different chassis and steering tuning
It has terrible choice of engines though

Looking at the astra sports tourer gs line cause we cant get the elegance trim in the uk still a amazing car tho well done Vauxhall and thanks for the amazing review
I don't know... It looks so heavy!
Almost as if the wagon was fully loaded while being completely empty.
I need to get used to this design.
As for the interior, I like it. I like it a lot. Opel has truly upped their game! Good work!
I watch a lot of car reviews, but unfortunately they never test the car with a full load (say 4 people and their holiday luggage). My experience with the Astra Estate (sports tourer) G, H and K is that the rear suspension is (was) not up for the job. In the models H and K I had to fit auxiliary springs to deal with the extra weight. This doesn't make sense because the reason for buying an estate car is to be able to carry a load of stuff. Otherwise I am still very happy with my Sports Tourer model K (as I was with the models G and H. This new Sports Tourer is a bit of a step back compared to the previous model when it comes to passenger space on the rear seats. Needless to say that I will hang on to my Sports Tourer K for the foreseeable future.
Yep, J was better, and had a Watt-link on the rear suspension which made it really handy. Rear was very stable with or without load
Behind the large compartment in the center console Is a real aluminum strip placed in order to reduce wear on the panel when using the compartment.
At least it's something...
However, the manual gearbox is preferable.
GM squandered the Opel brand
