The Business Launch Edition is a fully equipped version of the Astra Electric. It features, for example, LED Pixel headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, an electric glass sunroof, IntelliDrive 2.0 driver assistance systems, AGR-certified heated seats with premium Alcantara trim, parking assistant, a 360-degree camera and wireless charging for mobile devices.

Everyday efficiency

The new Astra Electric allows you to drive in its purest form – without emissions. Its electric motor has an output of 115 kW/156 hp and a maximum torque of 270 Newton meters. The relatively low kerb weight of 1,679 kilograms increases both driving pleasure and efficiency. What's more, at a time when many other electric cars have a limited top speed, the new Astra Electric can reach 170 km/h. 

The energy required for the electric motor is stored in a 54 kWh lithium-ion battery, which is characterized by compact size, low weight, good range and short charging time. According to WLTP, the five-door car has an average electricity consumption of just 14.8 kWh per 100 kilometers and can travel up to 418 km on a full charge.

In addition, charging the electric Astra does not require a long pit stop at the charger. At the 100 kW DC fast charging station, the Astra Electric battery can be charged to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes. In addition, the fully electric Astra already has a three-phase 11 kW on-board charger as standard, which can be connected to a private charging facility or wall box. The car also has a heat pump as standard.

 

The Astra Electric's luggage compartment volume in standard configuration is 352 liters, but with the rear seat backrests folded down, the capacity increases to 1,268 liters.
