The Opel Vauxhall Astra, produced from 1986 to 1991, marked a significant departure from its predecessor, the Kadett. This first-generation Astra, internally known as the F-Series, brought a fresh design language, increased roominess, and a wider range of engine options. The car was a resounding success, quickly becoming a popular choice in Europe and even exceeding the sales of the Kadett in the UK. It was available in various body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, a four-door saloon, and a station wagon (known as the Astra Estate). The Astra's design was characterized by its rounded lines and a more aerodynamic shape compared to the Kadett. Although based on the same chassis, it offered increased headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers, contributing to a more spacious and comfortable interior.

The Astra was equipped with a range of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from the economical 1.3-liter to the more powerful 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter units. The car was also introduced with a new 1.7-liter diesel engine, offering fuel efficiency and low running costs. The Astra was later offered with a 1.6-liter 8-valve fuel-injected engine, which contributed to its popularity. Safety features included front disc brakes, a safety cage, and optional airbags, reflecting the growing focus on safety in the automotive industry. The Opel Vauxhall Astra F-Series remained in production until 1991, setting the stage for a successful model line that continues to be a staple in the European automotive market. It was replaced by the Mark II Astra in 1991, building upon the success of its predecessor and further solidifying its position as a reliable and popular compact car.
