Holden Astra: FAQs – carsales.com.au

AutoExec Summary
To start, let’s delve into the history of the Astra. It first arrived in Australia as a rebadged Nissan N12 Pulsar hatchback in 1984, with updates in 1986 and 1987 to coincide with the N13 Pulsar. After a hiatus from 1989 to 1996, Holden introduced an Opel-sourced Astra, which lasted until 2010 when the locally-built Cruze took over. The Astra made a comeback in 2015 as the GTC and VXR hatches, eventually leading to a full line-up until 2020. The final Astra, sourced from various countries, was well-received and considered a good car.
