“The new Astra Sports Tourer GSe is a truly outstanding estate! With its sharpened design, it immediately conveys the driving pleasure – for the whole family – it comes with. The GSe conveys pure dynamism, is locally emission-free and, as an estate, also offers plenty of space for everyday use," said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.
Electrifying dynamics: GSe chassis and top plug-in hybrid
The powerful drive and the unique chassis form the basis for the GSe-specific driving experience. The new Astra Sports Tourer GSe delivers a superior system output of 165 kW/225 hp – the 1.6 litre four-cylinder delivers 133 kW/180 hp, the electric motor contributes up to 81.2 kW/110 hp – and maximum torque of a powerful 360 Nm (fuel consumption according to WLTP3: 1.2-1.1 l/100 km, CO2 emissions 26-25 g/km; each combined). The top-of-the-line estate accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 235 km/h (135 km/h purely electrically). And the 12.4 kWh lithium-ion battery ensures that the plug-in hybrid can cover up to 63 kilometres locally emission-free according to WLTP4 (EAER City according to WLTP4: 66-71 km).
The specially calibrated chassis, which is 10 millimetres lower, also promises dynamic driving pleasure. Compared to the “normal” variants of the “Golden Steering Wheel 2022”5 winner, the GSe is designed to be even more agile and precise. The special springs and oil-pressure shock absorbers of the front and rear wheel suspension enable not only dynamic but also comfortable driving. The so-called KONI FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) technology is responsible for this: The dampers align the respectively required damping force with the movement frequency of the vehicle. In this way, different damping characteristics can be achieved for comfortable gliding at high frequencies and for a sporty, ambitious driving style with more direct road contact at low frequencies. The ESP settings on the GSe follow this lead: the electronic stability program intervenes later, so that GSe drivers can drive even more dynamically. The Astra Sports Tourer GSe offers exceptional stability and directional stability when cornering, when braking and – like every Opel – at high speeds on the “Autobahn”. The steering is also sporty tuned specifically for the GSe. It also reacts even more immediately and directly to any command from the driver.
Pure sportiness: bold, clear Astra design with GSe styling highlights
Elsewhere, like its GSe sibling, the Astra Sports Tourer GSe is a true eyecatcher. It comes with exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels in diamond cut/black and a characteristic GSe front bumper and rear diffuser. Inside, specific AGR-certified GSe performance seats embrace tie the driver and front seat passenger. Seat and steering wheel heating ensure a feel-good atmosphere even on cold days. And if you want to go on a family holiday with the dynamic estate, the Astra Sports Tourer GSe has 516 to 1,553 litres of boot space. Suitcases or other items can be easily loaded using via the tailgate, which optionally opens and closes automatically with a foot gesture.
A wide full range of state-of-the-art assistance systems from Opel rounds off the offer. The standard equipment includes the Intelli-Drive system with forward collision alert and active emergency braking, pedestrian and drowsiness detection, lane departure warning and traffic sign assistant, cross traffic and side blind spot alert and automatic speed assistant with stop function as standard. The parking pilot for the front and rear and the 360-degree Intelli-Vision camera support the driver when manoeuvring. And GSe passengers are well connected with the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible multimedia navigation system including 10-inch colour touchscreen and the 10-inch driver information display (12-inch display in the Grandland GSe). Compatible smartphones can also be easily charged via wireless charging in the centre console.
