The new Opel Astra was a carefully guarded secret, as Opel was supposed to present it only at the autumn salon in Frankfurt. But a combination of circumstances and photos that were leaked to the public led to the fact that we are already receiving the first photos today. This is the new Opel Astra!

The Opel Corsa is one of the most successful city cars of all time, as it has been on the road for more than 30 years. The new generation of corsa proves that it does not make sense to excessively change old and successful recipes. With a thorough renovation, it again caught up with its competitors and even overtook them in some segments. On the test, we hosted the most interesting one with a three-cylinder 1.0 ecotec turbo engine, which is, simply put - exciting.
Only a few months after the presentation of the new generation Opel Corsa, photos and data of the most powerful version of the OPC were revealed by Opel. From the premiere in Geneva, the Opel Corsa OPC will be powered by a 1.6-liter turbo that develops 207 hp and will propel the most powerful Corsa of all time to 230 km/h, and to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds.
Opel Corsa needs no further introduction to Slovenians, as it has been one of the best-selling models in the C-segment for decades, which is also eloquently demonstrated by the sales figures. 1,100 vehicles sold on average per year are big shoes that the fifth generation Corsa has just stepped into, and from what we've seen, it will be able to fill them.
You know - the time around Christmas is the one in which very special feelings arise in every individual. There is always something special and different in the air. And accordingly, the surprise that the representatives of Opel Slovenia prepared for us was when we received a bright yellow, but really bright yellow Opel Astro GTC for the "Christmas" test. One that hides almost 200 sparkly deer under the hood, but I'm sorry... horses. It seems that there really isn't that much of a difference between horses and deer. But there is a difference between the Opel Astra GTC and its conventional 5-door sister.
To a large extent, the Astra is already a fixture on Slovenian roads, as it consistently ranks among the ten best-selling models in our country, and its frequency in traffic is also appropriate for this. The Opel astra 1.6 CDTi with a new quieter and more refined diesel engine and an improved and more accurate transmission is now even more convincing as a whole.
After months of teasing at Opel with scarce information about the smallest model in the range, they have now announced that it will hit the roads in the spring and fight the fierce competition of the A-segment. The Opel Karl will convince buyers with a pleasing image, equipment that we are not used to in this segment and a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine.
Opel has revamped its smallest MPV Meriva and given it more elegance in the style of the larger insignia. Most of the innovations are in the front part, where new lights and a mask boast, while inside passengers are greeted by an above-average spacious cabin and trunk, which even a little "smells" of a higher segment. The diesel engine is also new, which suits it perfectly.
The Opel Adam is one of those city vehicles that captivates with its special and different curves. The kind that most likely appeal to urban Eves who will get weak in the knees at the sight of ADAM with an S after iman. The male population, on the other hand, will be more impressed with the numbers that promise fun and antics on the road.
The current generation of Corsa is already well known to most people, after all, it has been on the market for quite a few years. Well, in order to continue to compete on an equal footing with the fierce competition of the pole class, she was given a cosmetic rejuvenation for the fall. The treatment is in the style of another Opel toddler - Adam, from which it inherited the headlights, engine mask and most of the interior.
Every year, the Geneva International Motor Show presents technologically advanced cars and concepts from global manufacturers. This year we had the honor of attending the most important automotive event of the season. We were among the first to see the premieres of new models from well-known brands and feast our eyes on numerous remakes and luxury models.
