The new Astra begins the next stage of the Vauxhall design journey, as we merge sculptural artistry with technical precision. On the inside of the car, the first thing you notice is the warm and inviting wraparound interior. The interior has been designed with very dramatic and dynamic forms, and is very spacious also. It really opens up around you, and creates a very roomy cockpit which is perfect for this class of car. We've also worked hard to make sure the ergonomics are perfect. Everything is within easy reach. The 30 degree angles used for the central console provide perfect placement for controls. All of the areas of human interaction have highly crafted décor. Even the décor element that runs around the central stack, the gear shifter and the electric park brake, are beautiful considered. The Astra offers a wide range of interiors, each giving a unique driving environment. These range from upscale and sophisticated, through to sporty and dynamic, even fun and cheerful, and gives you the opportunity to personalise the car to your individual taste. One look at the interior of the new Vauxhall Astra, and you instantly feel like this was a car designed for drivers. There's so much more. Visit the Torque Astra website for more details.
