Diesel power for Astra wagon
Holden will release the Astra CDTi wagon through its dealer network in JuneDiesel uptake in the Australian market is escalating from a trickle to a flood, although we probably won't see a diesel deluge until one or the other of the local large cars jumps in at the deep end.
In the meantime, Holden has expanded the Astra range with a diesel-engined wagon, the Astra CDTi wagon.
The 1.9-litre turbodiesel in the wagon is Euro IV-compliant and drives through a sequential-shift six-speed automatic transmission to return a combined cycle fuel consumption figure of 7.1L/100km in ADR81/01 testing.
Peak power of 88kW occurs at 3500rpm and the engine produces 280Nm of torque from 2000rpm.
Priced at $32,490, the Astra CDTi wagon features standard ESP, traction control, ABS/EBD, Brake Assist, dual front and dual side-impact airbags, curtain airbags, 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, cruise control, semi-automated climate control and a trip computer.
Colours available include: Casablanca White, Power Red, Star Silver metallic, black Sapphire metallic, Pannacotta metallic and Metro metallic.
