New model Astravan awaiting green light
Date: Friday, October 9, 2009
A replacement for the Astravan based on the latest generation passenger cars has yet to be given the go ahead, according to a high-ranking GM engineer.
Production of the current model will continue, however, while Vauxhall and parent GM decide if it’s worth building an all-new commercial vehicle version of the Astra estate.
GM Europe’s global vehicle line executive in charge of the Astra, Peter Mertens, said the go-ahead for a van version of the new Astra had not happened, despite the estate — dubbed Sport Tourer — and three-door hatch versions being approved. “Next year will see the Astra Sport Tourer, then the year after there will be a coupe-style three-door car.”
Despite saying a new Astravan was not certain, Mertens was hopeful it would be built.
