The rear of both models has also been refreshed, with new rear-panel styling complemented by a chrome lower moulding.The most important addition to the range is the Astra GTC 2.0 CDTi BiTurbo, which will become the most powerful non-VXR model in the range, producing 195PS and 400Nm of torque. 0-60mph arrives in 7.8 seconds and the top speed is 139mph, but fuel consumption is nevertheless 53.3mpg and CO2 emissions are 139g/km. All BiTurbos are fitted with Start/Stop system as standard.
