The Vauxhall Opel Astra Belmont, produced from 1980 to 1995, was a significant model in the history of both Vauxhall and Opel, representing a shift towards more modern and refined designs. It was essentially the Vauxhall/Opel version of the first-generation Kadett, a popular compact car that had been introduced in 1979. The Astra Belmont, like its German counterpart, adopted a more aerodynamic, boxy shape compared to the previous generation, lending a sportier and more contemporary look. This design was also a testament to the growing trend of front-wheel drive configurations, which became the dominant layout in the European market.
Under the hood, the Astra Belmont offered a variety of petrol engines, ranging from the economical 1.2-liter unit to the more powerful 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter options. This range of powertrains catered to various driving needs, from daily commutes to more spirited driving experiences. The car was also available in various trim levels, ranging from the basic "Belmont" to the more luxurious "GTE" and "SRi." The Belmont offered features like power steering, electric windows, and even a sunroof, depending on the trim level and year of production. Its practical cabin and reasonably sized trunk made it a popular choice for families and young individuals alike.
