In Review; Vauxhall Astra 1.6 CDTi Family Hatchback

In terms of the car shown here, the Vauxhall ASTRA DIESEL HATCHBACK 1.6 CDTi 16V 136 Elite Nav 5dr Manual, this is based on the following configuration:

· Metallic – Cosmic grey
· Siena leather – Jet black
· 17″ multi-spoke alloy wheels

Since the model has been changed, the Astra has definitely become more popular in the hatchback range. With competitors including the Ford Focus, Hyundai i30, Seat Leon and VW Golf, Vauxhall really had no choice but to produce a more quality product.

The Elite Nav is very much the top of the tree in the Astra range, with standard specification which includes front sports seats, cruise control, leather upholstery, lumbar support, electric folding mirrors, heated windows, solar glass, apple car play, hill start assist, voice control system, navigation, Bluetooth, heated steering wheel, comfort seat pack and heated seats. There is very little else you would want to add in terms of additional factory options – perhaps front/rear parking sensors, tined windows and a steer spare wheel for a complete vehicle.

On the technical-side, company car drivers can note the CO2 at 103g/km and P11d of £23,790.00. The 1598CC 6 speed manual engine delivers 136ps, 72.4MPG combined and 0-62 times of 9 seconds. In terms of service intervals, these are set at every 12 months or 20,000 miles whichever lands sooner. As a result do consider a funder-maintained vs driver-maintained contract.

So would the Astra be your cost-effective leasing option? Or would you choose one of the competitors…
