Get ready for an electrifying journey with the all-new Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer, where innovation meets estate elegance! The starting price of £39,995 for the 'Design' trim will have you revving with excitement. But wait, there's more! The 'GS' trim at £42,345 and the top-of-the-line 'Ultimate' Sports Tourer at £45,460 bring a whole new level of automotive grandeur. And no, the 'Ultimate' version doesn't come with arm-tassels and giant hair – sorry to disappoint!

Beneath the sleek exterior, the Astra ST electric packs a punch with a 51kWh battery powering a robust 156bhp/199 lb ft electric motor, offering a generous 256 miles of range. The chassis is no slouch either, boasting a 31% increase in stiffness compared to its petrol counterpart, promising enhanced handling that'll make your driving experience truly electrifying.

Navigate through the city streets or open roads with three distinct driving modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport. Feeling adventurous? Engage the 'B' mode for more zealous regenerative braking, squeezing out every bit of range possible. Charging is a breeze, taking just under eight hours with a domestic 7kW wallbox, or opt for the speedy 100kW DC charging and go from 20-80% in less than half an hour.

But it's not just about power – the Astra ST electric boasts a futuristic 'Vizor' front end package with intelligent headlights and driver assist sensors, ensuring it stands out from the crowd. The dazzling 18-inch aero rims, adorned with 'eco' rubber for improved efficiency, add a touch of flair to this family workhorse.

Safety takes center stage with advanced driver assist features, including lane keep assist, pedestrian alert, blind spot monitoring, and the latest addition – semi-automated lane changes. Just remember, absolute driver concentration is the key, adding a touch of irony to the cutting-edge technology.
