    Holden Astra

    The Holden Astra returned to Australia in 2015 after being replaced by the Holden Cruze a few years prior.

    It continues the decades-long history of the Astra badge, after it was briefly resurrected by the Opel marque in the Australian market between 2012 and 2013.

    Currently the Astra starts at $20,490 for the Astra LS and reaches up to the $39,990 for Astra VXR.

    A new-generation model arrived in 2016, initially as a Poland-sourced hatchback, before the Korea-built sedan and UK-sourced wagon arrived months later. Only petrol engines were available from launch with a choice of automatic or manual transmissions.
