The new Astra is 4,374mm long and 1,860mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2,675mm, up slightly from its predecessor in all dimensions except height. With a height of 1470 mm, it is 15 mm lower than before. Some practical benefits of the increased size include a larger trunk (with an adjustable base), at 422 liters, and the extended wheelbase is likely to improve legroom for front and rear passengers – well. that Vauxhall has yet to confirm the exact specifications on this.
