The Astra is offered in two trim levels (XE and XR) for five-door models, and a single trim (XR) in the three-door configuration, which was created with particularly enthusiastic drivers in mind. Astra's standard 1.8-liter Ecotec DOHC engine is a sophisticated, powerful and economical power plant. It uses variable valve timing to optimize power and economy, delivering 140 horsepower - for an enviable 76 horsepower per liter. It's mated to a standard five-speed manual or electronically controlled four-speed automatic.
