New Astra! Chevrolet's Success in Brazil Becomes a Darling with Opel and Competes with Focus and Golf

The New Astra, which has already won over the audience of Chevrolet in Brazil, now highlights in Europe under the Opel brand, directly rivaling models like the Ford Focus and the Volkswagen Golf.

The New Astra, which is already a consolidated success for Chevrolet in Brazil, crossed the Atlantic and is becoming the darling of Europeans, now under the Opel badge. But does it have what it takes to dethrone giants like the Ford Focus and the Volkswagen Golf?

When Chevrolet in Brazil launched the Astra, few could imagine that this model would become a success not only in Brazilian lands but also in demanding Europe. Now, with the Opel emblem, the new Astra is already making waves on the Old Continent, and it’s no surprise. With a bold design, packed with standard equipment, and a motor that promises good performance, the model has everything to become a reference in the hatchback market.

GS Model of the New Astra and Engine

The GS model, which hits the European market starting at £28,000, isn’t exactly cheap, but offers a robust package that can justify the price. Under the hood, the 1.2 turbo engine with 130 horsepower ensures respectable performance, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds and reaching a top speed of 210 km/h. All this without compromising fuel consumption, which is said to remain around 20 km/l, according to the brand.

The design of the new Astra is another highlight. With sharp headlights and a front grille that evokes a retro touch, the car stands out on the streets. At the rear, the “pinched” taillights add extra charm to the overall design. Even in a version considered “basic” in the European market, the look is quite appealing.

New Astra! Success of Chevrolet in Brazil, becomes the darling with Opel and competes with Focus and Golf

Inside the car, the impression is of being in a premium vehicle. With two digital screens that offer both the instrument panel and the entertainment system, the new Astra doesn’t disappoint. Connectivity is complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, something still a luxury in many competitors.

New Astra Still Does Not Surpass the Ford Focus

But not everything is perfect. Despite all the evolution, the new Astra still does not surpass the Ford Focus in terms of drivability. The steering, while precise, isn’t as fun as its rival’s. And, despite the well-executed interior finish, it doesn’t reach the refinement level of the Volkswagen Golf.

However, when we weigh everything, especially the competitive price, the new Astra proves to be an extremely attractive option. The fact that it carries the legacy of Chevrolet in Brazil and is now one of the most talked-about cars in Europe only reinforces the global success of the model.

New Astra Is Undoubtedly a Car That Deserves Attention

The new Astra is undoubtedly a car that deserves attention. It has not only established itself as a success for Chevrolet in Brazil but is also paving its way in Europe, challenging even the most traditional models in the continent. It would be great if it could arrive in Brazil, just for us to test it out…

So, what is your opinion about the new Astra? Does it really have what it takes to dethrone the competitors? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Todos os modelos Chevrolet sempre foram da Opel e sempre vieram para o Brasil depois de fazer sucesso lá na Europa.
E já sem a Opel a Chevrolet a alguns anos traz para o Brasil modelos que fazem sucesso na Ásia.
Aqui os Brasileiros rejeitaram os automóveis da Daewoo, pois bem foi só a Chevrolet colocar a gravatinha na grade que o Brasileiro compra com ORGULHO.

E hoje em dia a Stellantis está alocando os projetos da Opel para a Peugeot (o 208 é o projeto do Corsa europeu; o 2008 é projeto do Mokka, SUV de shopping baseado no Corsa; e o 3008 é baseado no Grandland, SUV médio que sucedeu a Captiva (que na Europa se chamava Insignia) depois que saiu de linha), e ninguém quer nem tocar nos carros Opel mais por conta do leão da Peugeot assustar a galera.
