Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 38 - 78 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer running costs should be fairly low. Vauxhall dealers are usually very competitive when it comes to servicing costs. Insurance groups are also low – the entry level model starts at group 9E (50 groups) which is equivalent to 3E when looking at the previous 20-group system.

Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer emissions are pretty low. For saving cash and the planet the model to choose is the ecoFLEX variant with the 1.3 CDTi 93bhp engine. On average it’s the most frugal (68.9mpg) and also the cleanest (109g/km of CO2).

The Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer reliability should be relatively strong. The previous generation was hindered with a few minor problems but on the whole the car was very reliable. The lifetime warranty could be a deal-maker for those who want to hang on to their cars for many years and still want peace of mind.
