最近谍照记者拍到了第七代欧宝雅特K最新照片,该车预计将于明年发布。现行版欧宝雅特J上市时间已经很长了，因此欧宝需要推出其替代车型以便能与包括标致308在内的同级车型竞争。预计新车重量将比现行版降低50到100公斤，这当然是一个号消息，现行版最大的问题就是自身整备质量太重。预计新车将采用渐进式改款，车身三维尺寸将比现行版更大。此外，新车侧后视镜将安装在车门上，而在车尾将采用更突出的尾门和更长的车顶扰流器。新车整体设计很可能受到Monza概念车影响。或许你已经听说，下一代雅特将不在德国组装，欧宝将在波兰Gliwice和英国柴郡的埃尔斯米尔港生产这款车，因此德国吕塞尔斯海姆工厂将停止生产该车。新车的车身形式将与现行版一样，包括掀背车、旅行车（Sports Tourer），轿跑车（GTC）和轿车。欧宝还未决定是在明年3月的日内瓦车展还是9月的法兰克福车展发布这款车。但新车将在2015年底或2016年初上市。

 

Next-gen Opel Astra returns in new batch of spy shots

Our spies have sent us several fresh photographs depicting the seventh generation Opel Astra (K) which could come out sometime next year.

 

The current Astra J has aged quite well but Opel needs to launch a replacement to better tackle the new arrivals in this very competitive segment such as the Peugeot 308. It is expected the new Opel will lose between 50 and 100 kg which can only be good news since the biggest enemy of the current generation is its hefty curb weight.

 

Expect to find an evolutionary design wrapped around in possibly a larger package since this prototype appears to be a bit larger than the current Astra. In addition, the mirrors are installed on the doors while at the back there's a more prominent tailgate and a longer roof spoiler. The overall design is likely to take influences from the striking Monza concept.

 

As you probably have heard by now, the next generation Opel Astra will be assembled outside Germany as the hatchback will be produced in Gliwice, Poland and Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, UK so production at the Rüsselsheim factory will end. The model will be sold in the same body styles as the current generation: hatchback, wagon (Sports Tourer), coupe (GTC) and sedan.

 

Opel could decide to introduce the all-new Astra at next year's Geneva Motor Show in March or in September at home in Germany during the Frankfurt Motor Show. Sales should commence before the end of 2015 or early 2016.
