These absolute illustrations were fabricated by Thanos Pappas for Carscoops and are neither accompanying to nor accustomed by Opel.
A few months ago Opel launched the new-generation Astra in five-door auto anatomy and accepted it will be abutting by the best and added applied Astra Sports Tourer acreage in 2022. However, the Astra ambit will reportedly be broadcast added with the accession of a third alternative featuring added arena approval and crossover-inspired styling.
The accounted Opel Astra Cross, internally codenamed OV54, would be a absolute battling to the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, the Toyota Corolla Trek, and the Ford Focus Active Wagon. Given that best of the C-Segment crossovers are based on the added applied base wagon bodystyles (with the barring of the Kia XCeed and the Ford Focus Active five-door hatchbacks), it is acceptable that Opel will chase the trend.
Thus, the best believable book for the Astra Cross is to be a jacked-up adaptation of the Astra Sports Tourer with retuned abeyance and added artificial cladding – aloof like the Insignia Country Tourer. This is what we depicted on the absolute apprehension with fender extensions agnate to the Mokka, added arena clearance, and aluminum-style drift plates, application the auto as a basis.
There is additionally a adventitious Opel will chase a altered action and actualize an Astra-based crossover agnate to the Toyota Corolla Cross which boasts a absolutely redesigned anatomy compared to the Toyota Corolla hatchback. This admitting would crave a added advance in architecture and development, and we are not abiding if it makes faculty for a aggregation that is already alms the Mokka, Crossland, and Grandland SUVs.
In any case, the Astra Cross would borrow the powertrain options from the approved Astra. Those accommodate a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine producing 108 hp (81 kW / 110 PS) or 128 hp (96 kW / 130 PS), a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel bearing 128 hp (96 kW / 130 PS), and two constituent amalgam variants producing a accumulated 178 hp (132 kW / 180 PS) or 222 hp (166 kW / 225 PS). Finally, there could be an all-electric adaptation as Opel has accepted the accessible Astra-e auto for 2023.

All variants of the new Astra are alone offered in front-wheel-drive; alike admitting Stellantis has an all-wheel-drive constituent amalgam system, it is aloof for C-SUVs like the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4. In agreement of the competition, alone the Volkswagen Group is currently alms AWD as an advantage in the bunched crossover base wagon segment, in the VW Golf Alltrack and the Skoda Octavia Scout.
Stellantis reportedly advised alms a agnate crossover alternative of the Peugeot 308 SW which is administration its underpinnings with the Astra Sports Tourer. However, according to auto.cz, this activity was canceled back there is not abundant allowance in this articulation for two allusive adventuresome estates from affinity manufacturers.
