Product Overview

Opel Astra H Caravan (chassis code A04) is an affordable compact station wagon in production from 2004 to 2010. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.0 liters.

Based on the Astra H hatchback, the Astra H Caravan is surprisingly handsome for a compact estate car, arguably the best-looking of all Astra H body styles. It was also marketed as Chevrolet Astra, Holden Astra, and Vauxhall Astra, etc. in various markets.

Unfortunately, as an economy car the Astra H uses semi-independent rear suspensions that do not provide the best comfort or handling. Its front suspension setup also reminds us of its budget positioning.

As a global car, the Astra H was assembled in numerous countries with minor differences. While the car received some updates over its production run, no distinct "facelift" could be said of.
