Opel Astra – Technical Specifications & All Generations
The Opel Astra's most technically significant chapter arrived with its sixth generation, launched in 2022 on a platform shared with Stellantis siblings and offering petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric powertrains — the first time the Astra spanned all four. Since 1991, the C-segment Astra has run through ten generations, documented across 610 variants in the Automobilisto database, covering hatchback, estate, sedan, coupe and cabrio body styles.

The sixth generation (2022-present) is the technical high point: 16 variants spanning petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric powertrains, with outputs from 110 up to 225 PS — the Astra's widest powertrain diversity yet.
A 2019 restyling trimmed the range further to 14 variants and a tighter 105-145 PS band, suggesting rationalization of the powertrain lineup ahead of the platform switch to come.
The fifth generation (2015-2019) narrowed the body range to estate and hatchback only, with 24 variants and outputs from 95 to 200 PS across diesel and petrol, dropping LPG entirely.
Its 2012 restyling was a major expansion: 80 variants, LPG reintroduced, and a power ceiling raised to 200 PS, making this the longest-running facelift cycle in the lineup at five years.
The fourth generation (2009-2012) streamlined to 35 variants, dropping LPG temporarily and the coupe/cabrio bodies, focusing on estate, hatchback and sedan forms with 85-180 PS diesel and petrol units.
A 2006 restyling reinstated the sedan body and added variants, reaching 68 total with a raised entry power of 90 PS, up to 200 PS, keeping petrol, diesel and LPG powertrains available.
The third generation (2004-2007) introduced LPG as a fuel option alongside petrol and diesel, with 64 variants and outputs from 80 to 200 PS, though the sedan body was temporarily dropped from this cycle.
The second generation (1998) added a coupe body and grew to 147 variants, the richest lineup in Astra history. Power spanned 65 to 200 PS across diesel and petrol, signaling a broader performance ceiling.
The 1994 facelift expanded the lineup dramatically to 125 documented variants, pushing peak output to 160 PS. Diesel and petrol engines coexisted across five body types, reflecting rapid mid-cycle range broadening.
The founding Astra generation (1991-1994) replaced the Kadett nameplate, offering 37 variants with petrol and diesel engines from 57 to 150 PS across five body styles, establishing the C-segment template Opel would refine for decades.
