## The Vauxhall/Opel Astra Belmont: A Compact Car with a Legacy

The Vauxhall Astra Belmont was a popular compact car produced by Vauxhall Motors in the United Kingdom, and its sister brand Opel in Europe, from 1980 to 1995. This model, though sharing the "Astra" nameplate with the larger Astra launched in 1991, was actually the second generation of the Vauxhall/Opel Kadett, a model that had a long and successful run since 1962. The Belmont, marketed as a successor to the original Kadett City, was a significant evolution, featuring a larger body, more powerful engines, and a more modern design.

The Vauxhall/Opel Astra Belmont was available in a variety of body styles, including a 3-door hatchback, 5-door hatchback, and a 4-door saloon. Its engine options ranged from fuel-efficient 1.2-liter petrol units to more powerful 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter options, with some models also offering diesel power. The car was praised for its reliability, affordability, and practicality, making it a popular choice for families and individuals alike. The Belmont also enjoyed a measure of success in motorsport, with the GTE and GSi models proving to be particularly competitive in touring car championships. While the Belmont's production run ended in 1995, its legacy continued as the nameplate was later adopted by the Opel Corsa in some markets. The Astra Belmont's reputation for affordability and reliability solidified its place as a vital part of Vauxhall/Opel's history, influencing the design and engineering of subsequent generations of compact cars.
