2016 Opel Astra Arrives In South Africa

After cleaning up with some major awards in Europe, the 2016 Opel Astra has arrived in South Africa, ready to do battle in the marketplace. The Astra K arrives with the same equipment Europeans have fallen in love with, and Opel is confident in its ability in South Africa.

The first batch of Opel Astra K will arrive Friday, April 15, as they unload into dealerships across South Africa. The 2016 Astra arrives with three turbocharged, Ecotec engines for buyers to choose from including the 1.0-liter, 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter.

Weight is also down 200 kilograms from the previous Astra, which has done wonders for the Astra’s ride and fuel economy. Not to mention a smaller exterior footprint with a more spacious interior.

So, South Africa, watch your local Opel dealers. The Astra K is coming, and it’s looking to conquer.
