Small wagons might not have much of place United States, but overseas, they do very well, thank you. Take Opel Astra, example – its wagon variant accounts around 25 percent its overall sales. Thus, Opel hasn′t wasted any time in creating wagon (Sports Tourer) version of new Astra, and while it will make its public debut this October at Paris Motor Show, General Motors is already spilling virtual beans.
Inside, the Astra Sports Tourer uses new FlexFold rear seat system, which allows rear seats folded down simply pressing button the tailgate. We commonly see this feature larger SUVs minivans, the Astra the first compact wagon have this function. With the rear seats down, the Sports Tourer can accommodate up 54.7 cubic feet haulables.
Not only the Astra Sports Tourer quite functional, it has the makings vehicle that’s relatively good to drive, too. Opel has fitted its FlexRide adaptive suspension system to the wagon, with standard, tour sport driving modes. Eight engine choices available, ranging from 95 to 180 horsepower, including the turbocharged 1.4-liter four that’s slated use the U.S.-market Chevrolet Cruze.
It looks fun little wagon, this Astra, it makes us wish that there were enough buyers for such vehicles over here States. Have look for yourself either scrolling through gallery below or watching video (complete Shaft-inspired soundtrack) after the jump.
