The Astra G was available in a wide range of body styles, including three- and five-door hatchbacks, a four-door saloon, a station wagon (called the "Estate"), and a sporty coupe (called the "Coupé"). It offered a variety of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from small and economical units to more powerful options, catering to diverse driving needs. The Astra G was praised for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and competitive fuel efficiency, making it a popular choice for both families and individuals seeking a practical and reliable car.
