Overview
BL MY17 LS Sedan 4dr Spts Auto 6sp 1.4T Holden's highly proficient small car, the Astra, is available as a hatch or sedan " the former built in Poland and the latter in South Korea. They look similar, but are a bit different: The sedan is longer overall, has a slightly longer wheelbase and is only available with the 110kW/245Nm 1.4-litre turbo engine, where the hatch also offers a 147kW/280Nm 1.6-litre turbo. Both offer six-speed manual or auto transmissions. Spacious, quality interiors are common to both except the sedan gets a big 445-litre boot where the hatch, although it only gets 360 litres, opens out to a seats-folded 1210 litres if necessary.
