Opel/Vauxhall claims it is leading the field with the seats that will be fitted to the new Astra.
GM’s mainstream Europe brand says the back-friendly front seats are 18-way adjustable including side bolster adjustment, as well as optionally available with further comfort features such as massage and memory function along with ventilation – a unique combination in the compact class, it is claimed.

Opel also says that rear seat passengers can also look forward to more luxury – in addition to more legroom; heated outer rear seats are optional.
“Seating is among the most important elements in a vehicle as it delivers safety, comfort, and design. It is one of the reasons we place such a high priority- with the support of our partners- on the development of our seating systems,” says Charlie Klein, Vice President Vehicle Engineering at Opel.
“The new Opel Astra seats continue to deliver on the promise of excellence and are a reflection of the skill and commitment of our engineers and designers. The Astra seats provide advanced features in the compact segment that are normally found only in the premium class.”
The company also says that the new seats are some 10 kilograms lighter than those on the current Astra.
