ASTRA GTC
2014 Models Edition 1
WELCOME TO A
LIFETIME OF
FORWARD THINKING
1957 – The PA
Cresta introduced
Americana styling
to the UK.
1903 – Forward thinking has been in our nature
from the very start. The 6HP, our first ever car,
had two forward gears. And no reverse.
1937 – The Vauxhall
‘10’ H-type, the first
British car to have
integral construction.
1922 – The Silver Arrow OE 30-98 was capable of speeds
of over 100mph, this model was built for shipping magnate
Sir Leonard Ropner to race at Brooklands.
1984 – The MkII Astra introduced class-leading aerodynamic
styling that still looks good today. The Formula Vauxhall Lotus
ran a modified version of the Astra GTE’s 2.0i 16v engine.
1971 – The formation of Dealer Team Vauxhall
(DTV). The track car was the precursor to our
enormous success in touring car racing.
2012 – The ‘RAK e’. A radical looking
electric concept car for the future.
Our forward thinking continues.
1999 – The Zafira introduced
the revolutionary Flex7 ®
seating system inventing the
seven-seat compact MPV.
2012 – Ampera. The first ever Extended-Range Electric
Vehicle (E-REV) that redefined electric vehicle innovation
leading to it being voted European Car Of The Year 2012.

your smartphone for more
information on the last 110
years of Vauxhall innovation.

QR reader from your app
store first.
1990 – The Calibra was the
world’s most aerodynamic
production car.
1989 – The Lotus Carlton was
the world’s fastest production
four-door saloon.
The world was a very different place in 1903 when
Vauxhall made its first car. We steered with tillers, not
wheels. Six horsepower was considered pretty nippy.
And King Edward’s face was still on the stamps. But for
us, one important thing hasn’t changed: we started out
with a philosophy of Forward Thinking and, 110 years
later, it still motivates everything we do. Who knows
what innovations the next 110 years will bring?
The Vauxhall Lifetime Warranty. There’s one thing
every owner of a new Vauxhall can rely on. We’re so
confident in Vauxhall quality and reliability that we are
now able to offer a lifetime warranty. It’s available to
the first owner of all our new Vauxhall passenger cars
and valid for the lifetime of the vehicle up to a maximum
of 100,000 miles. So you’ve got year after year of
carefree driving to look forward to...

100,000 mile warranty.

PASSION
Whichever way you look at it, the Astra GTC oozes excitement.
Those ground-hugging lines and powerfully sculpted alloys provide

out by driver-focused dynamics and precision sports chassis and
epitomised by the new BiTurbo model.

280PS two-litre turbocharged direct injection engine, it’s sure to deliver the
kind of driving experience that more than lives up to the VXR name.

echo throughout the interior’s strong lines, with defined textures, unique
Astra GTC sports detailing and unashamedly proud contours. Premium quality
design cues combine with advanced features to create a sporty yet spacious
driving environment guaranteed to invigorate your whole driving experience.

SHARPEN YOUR
RESPONSES
Astra GTC: beautifully balanced, above and below the skin. With a
bespoke sports chassis, specifically tuned to the demands of UK roads.
Featuring HiPerStrut (High Performance Strut) front suspension and Watt’s
link rear set-up. The HiPerStrut system improves grip and allows more power
to be applied during cornering, significantly reducing torque steer; the Watt’s
link reduces lateral movement at high speed for a smooth and stable ride.
The new Astra GTC BiTurbo features an uprated sports chassis that rides
6mm lower. Optional FlexRide adds even greater precision to the Astra GTC
driving experience. Just the mere touch of a button changes the whole driving
dynamic to taut sporting excitement or relaxed long distance cruising.

FULFIL YOUR
POTENTIAL
Visually, Astra GTC takes your breath
away. Performance-wise, it carries your
strongest emotions in its wake. The
potential is limitless.
Astra GTC drivers can now choose from nine powerful yet
efficient turbocharged engines – each matched to a slick
six-speed transmission or – on selected power units –
a six-speed automatic. The new 195PS BiTurbo diesel
Start/Stop engine develops an impressive 400Nm and
features two staged turbochargers that work together in
series to eliminate turbo lag. There are also two versatile
1.7CDTi 16v ecoFLEX common rail diesels developing
110PS and 130PS plus 109g/km variants of both units.
Or the highly flexible 2.0CDTi 16v common rail turbo
diesel, good for an impressive 165PS. Petrol engine choices
include a free-revving 120PS or 140PS 1.4i 16v VVT Turbo
and a new 1.6i 16v Direct Injection Turbo Start/Stop,
producing an uncompromising 200PS.
18
Start/Stop technology. With power comes responsibility. So Astra GTC
also features Vauxhall’s cutting edge Start/Stop fuel saving and emissions
reduction technology. The innovative system switches the engine off when you
stop at the lights or in traffic, then restarts it automatically once the clutch is
depressed. A wide range of in-built safety checks ensures total peace-of-mind
in all circumstances. It’s fitted to all manual Astra GTC models.

INTELLIGENT LIGHTING
FOR EVERY ENVIRONMENT
The Astra GTC features an enhanced, fourth generation
of the Adaptive Forward Lighting System. The AFL
headlights change their pattern to suit the location and
the weather. Sensing where you need the light most,
they can even see round corners. And if something is
coming the other way, they dip automatically.
Intelligent Light Ranging (ILR). Available as part of the Driving Assistance
Pack when AFL is also specified, ILR extends the range of both headlights up to
about 350 metres at speeds over 30mph. ILR also automatically adjusts the
spread to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. And if you’re approaching an upward
gradient, it’ll even raise the beam to give you a better view of the road.

EXTEND YOUR OPTIONS

You don’t get an Astra GTC to decorate
the front drive – you’re going to demand
a lot more from it than that! With a few
well-chosen options, you can make sure
you get a great deal more out of those
hours spent on the road.
1. Ergonomic sports seat.* The Astra GTC’s optional
orthopaedic ergonomic six-way adjustable sports driver’s
seat – in luxurious leather – adjusts to suit your posture,
perfectly. Both front seats feature superior side support plus,
on the driver’s seat, tilt adjustment, electric lumbar support
and an extendable seat cushion. Better still, the driver’s seat
has won the coveted AGR** seal of approval for helping to
prevent the in-car back pain and tension suffered by some
car occupants. Additional seat option packs are available.

2. Adjustable seat cushion extension.* The ergonomic
sports seat features an adjustable and extendable seat
cushion for additional leg support when you’re travelling
long distances.
3. Advanced Park Assist. Parallel parking will never be
the same again. This smart option not only tells you when
you drive by a suitably-sized parking space 4. , but also –
while you’re actually parking – shows you exactly how far to
turn the steering wheel and how far you can drive backwards
and forwards without an unwanted bump 5. . This feature is
available as part of the optional Perimeter Protection Pack.†

Smarter driving tips
• Drive at an appropriate speed: Staying
within the speed limit increases driver
safety, reduces CO2 emissions and saves
fuel. At 70mph you could be using up to 9%
more fuel than at 60mph and up to 15%
more fuel than at 50mph
• Drive smoothly at all times: Anticipate
the ebb and flow of the traffic to avoid
harsh acceleration and braking
• Reduce your revs: Change gear earlier
to help reduce fuel consumption – try
2500rpm with petrol engines and
2000rpm with diesel
• Idling is wasting fuel: If you’re likely to be
at a standstill for more than three minutes,
switch off the engine to save fuel
• Regularly check your tyre pressures:
Under inflated tyres increase CO2
emissions whilst incorrectly inflated
tyres can be unsafe. Always check your
handbook for the correct tyre pressure.
This will also help to increase the life of
your tyres
• Remove unnecessary items from the
car: Extra weight increases the engine’s
workload, whilst roof racks and bike
carriers increase wind resistance. All burn
more fuel and increase CO2 emissions

Gross vehicle weight is the total permissible weight of the vehicle including passengers and their luggage. The maximum roof
rack loading should not exceed 100kg. The maximum towing weights are based on the ability of the car, with two occupants of
75kg each, to restart on a 12% gradient, which is approximately 1 in 8.3, at sea level. At altitudes above 1500 metres, the engine
output may drop with a corresponding reduction in towing capability. Any extra weight, such as luggage or additional passengers,
should be deducted from the maximum towing weight. With a trailer fully loaded, maximum noseweight should not exceed 75kg.
Always fit Vauxhall towing attachments and accessories available from your Vauxhall retailer. They are designed specifically for
Vauxhall models and carry a 12-month guarantee.
