Neat sharp edged hatchback. saloon and estates, designed in Germany and also sold as the Opel Kadett D. This model, which went on sale in March 1980, replaced the Vauxhall Viva in the UK, and was the first front wheel drive model from Vauxhall.. Powered by the new Family series single overhead cam engines, The overhead-camshaft engine (not 1200) was a huge leap forward from the earlier generation of small engines n terms of power, economy and refinement. It was initially available in 1300 and 1600 forms, and later an 1800 fuel-injected version was added,
Both the Kadett and Astra were offered in the UK until the consolidation of the Vauxhall dealerships in the early 1980's after which e Opel badged versions were phased out.
There were three body styles for the first generation Astra: hatchback, saloon, and estate, all available with two or four side doors. The saloons were styled exactly like the hatchbacks, except for a different rear window above a boot lid; from the side they looked almost indistinguishable from the hatchback, with no protruding notch at the rear. The saloon version was replaced by the Belmont saloon based on the Astra MK2 in early 1986.
