Product Overview

Opel Astra H GTC (chassis code A04) is an affordable subcompact hatchback in production from 2005 to 2010. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.0 liters.
Essentially a 3-door variant of the Astra H, the GTC has a rather distinct exterior styling and is longer and shorter. Opel also made available a high-performance OPC model.
In other aspects, the GTC is same as the 5-door Astra H.
GM also markets the 3-door hatchback under the Vauxhall, Chevrolet, and Saturn nameplates.
