Opel Takes on the MG5 with the Astra Sports Tourer Electric

Following the recent launch of the Astra Electric in France, Opel is now opening orders for the new Astra Sports Tourer Electric.

This new version complements Opel’s hybrid Sports Tourer range whose first deliveries have just begun in France. With the launch of the Astra Sports Tourer Electric, Opel continues its development towards becoming a 100% electric brand in Europe by the end of 2028.

The Astra Sports Tourer Electric exemplifies Opel’s vision of a dynamic, efficient, and above all, electric station wagon, while remaining versatile. This model offers a range of up to 410 km, mainly thanks to a moderate weight of around 1,760 kg. The design is fairly classic and features the Opel Vizor, the brand’s signature visual element, which gives it a somewhat Chevrolet Camaro-like appearance.

The motor delivers 115 kW/156 hp for a maximum torque of 270 Nm. The top speed is limited to 170 km/h. Three driving modes are available: Eco, Normal, and Sport.

The energy is stored in a compact 54 kWh lithium-ion battery. This choice offers limited space and weight, as well as reduced charging times, but the range is affected. The 413 km announced according to the WLTP standard will need to be verified as they are based on an very optimistic average electric consumption of 15 kWh per 100 kilometers, even with regenerative braking support. The Astra Sports Tourer Electric can be charged up to 80% in about 30 minutes via a 100 kW direct current fast charger. Additionally, it comes standard with an onboard three-phase charger of 11 kW for home charging stations.

With dimensions of 4.64 x 1.86 x 1.48 meters (L x W x H) and a loading height of approximately 60 cm, the vehicle offers 516 liters of cargo space in the trunk. When the seats are folded down, capacity increases to 1,553 liters.

The Astra Sports Tourer Electric is offered in France with two trim levels, Astra and GS, starting at €42,140, which is €1,150 more than the Astra Electric Sedan. Note that there is a €2,000 difference in equipment level between the two trims, which includes a notably comprehensive set of features such as the Black Pack GS, the multimedia systems radio Pure Panel Pro, and the 360° panoramic Intelli-vision with four cameras, or the driver’s seat certified to AGR standards with electric controls (detailed price list on the media site):
