Local pricing and specifications for the new 2017 Holden Astra sedan have been released this week, ahead of the new model’s arrival at the beginning of July.
Starting from $21,990 drive-away, the Astra sedan – known in other markets as the Chevrolet Cruze – is headlined by the standard fitment of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with turbocharged petrol power.
Four trim levels are offered; LS, LS+, LT and LTZ, all powered by the same 110kW/245Nm 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine shared with entry versions of the Astra hatch – which rides on similar underpinnings.
A six-speed manual is standard on the entry-level LS variant, while a six-speed automatic is standard on all other versions, and optional on the base LS.
Standard equipment on the LS (from $20,490 plus on-road costs) includes 16-inch alloy wheels, six airbags, rear-view camera, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and cruise control.
Next in the range is the LS+ (from $22,740 plus ORCs), which comes standard with the six-speed automatic transmission, features the Holden Eye forward-facing camera system – including lane keep assist, forward distance indicator and forward collision warning – along with projector headlights, LED daytime-running lights, a leather steering wheel, and automatic high beam.
The LT kicks off at $25,790 plus on-roads, and adds extras like 17-inch alloy wheels, blind spot monitoring, keyless entry and push-button start, automatic parking assistant, rain-sensing wipers, a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with native satellite navigation, DAB+ digital radio, heated mirrors, illuminated vanity mirrors, rear lip spoiler and remote start.
Finally, the flagship LTZ ($29,790 plus ORCs) gets 18-inch alloy wheels, a powered sunroof, leather-appointed seat trim, single-zone climate control, heated front seats and chrome exterior highlights.
Seven exterior colours are available, including five prestige options which command a $550 premium.
The Astra sedan range also comes with a lifetime capped-price servicing program – which totals $916 for the first three years or 60,000km of ownership.
Compared to the Euro-sourced hatch range, which starts at $21,490 plus on-road costs for the R manual, the Astra sedan is between $1000 and $2000 cheaper than its hatch-backed equivalent depending on variant. All versions bar the flagship LTZ feature sharp drive-away offers too.
Stay tuned for our first local review, closer to the Astra sedan’s July 1 arrival.
