Vauxhall hatch caught on test ahead of 2019 facelift.
THE Vauxhall Astra, one of the UK’s most popular new cars, will be given cosmetic and engineering tweaks next year to keep it competitive. And these spy shots of the car testing in Germany are our first sighting of the new model.
By the time the updated Astra lands in dealers during the second half of 2019, its competitors will have been strengthened significantly; an all-new Ford Focus will be in showrooms, as will the eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf.
Based on these spy shots, at least, Vauxhall isn’t planning on beating its rivals with a radical redesign. The light camouflage at the front and rear indicates there’ll only be minor cosmetic tweaks to the headlamps and front bumper, while a minor update around the back is expected.
