If Volkswagen is offering a Convertible version for the Golf, why shouldn’t Opel apply the same treatment to their most successful model: the Astra? The upcoming Astra Convertible has been caught testing during some winter conditions, and as you can see, the roof is still just temporary and has nothing to do with the real deal. We expect the real one to be a conventional soft top instead of the retractable hardtop used on the Astra TwinTop.
The engine line-up will be similar to all the other models in the line-up, meaning we will see a choice of eight different engines mated to a six speed transmission. The diesel options will range from 1.3 to 2.0 Liters producing anywhere from 95 HP up to 160 HP. The petrol engine will range from 1.4 to 1.6 Liters and will pump out anywhere from 100 HP to 180 HP. However, the suspension will be borrowed from the Astra GTC.
The new Astra Convertible is set to make its world debut by the end of 2012.
