Opel/Vauxhall Astra
1.5 CDTI diesel FWD automatic
Tested here is the 2023 model of the diesel Opel Astra 1.5 CDTI with 8-speed automatic transmission and a power of 96 kW. The 1.5-litre diesel engine and its exhaust aftertreatment system shine with very low pollutant emissions. However, fuel consumption values of this compact hatchback fail to impress and were expected to be lower. The performance of the state-of-the-art exhaust aftertreatment system remained robust and effective under all test conditions but additional improvements are still possible, especially with focus on short trips with cold engine start. The relatively high greenhouse gas emissions cap the overall result, positioning the diesel Opel Astra 1.5 CDTI in the creditable range of 3 Green Stars with an Average Score of 51%.
