The Vauxhall Astra is now available with the firm’s BiTurbo engine which first appeared in the three-door Astra GTC and family Insignia.
The 192bhp performance diesel with 400Nm of torque will be fitted to the five-door hatchback and Sports Tourer estate by the end of the year.
As Vauxhall’s most powerful diesel, both models will reach 60mph in less than eight seconds, with a top speed of 135mph-plus while achieving 55.4mpg and 134g/km CO2. Stop-start technology is also standard.
