The Opel Astra (Lat: Stars) is a small family car (C-segment in Europe) engineered and manufactured by the German automaker Opel since 1991.
It is branded as Vauxhall Astra in the United Kingdom and the Buick Excelle XT in China. The Holden Astra was axed in Australia and New Zealand in 2009 owing to exchange rates making the car uncompetitive, and was replaced by the Holden Cruze. It briefly returned to the Australian market in 2012 as an Opel, but was discontinued after Opel withdrew from the country a year later.
The Astra is now built in Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, Poland and China as well as being assembled from complete knock down (CKD) kits in other countries.
