Windbreak. We probably don’t need to
convince you of the benefits of convertible
motoring, but what if we could make the
experience even better? The TwinTop
windbreak helps you enjoy the fresh air
without unpleasant draughts. It’s standard
on TwinTop Design and optional on all
other models except Expression.
Generous seating and luggage
space. Talk about having your cake and
eating it. The clever folding roof design,
coupled with careful shaping of the seat
cushions and bolsters, gives enough
legroom and shoulder space for two adult
rear seat passengers. It also allows you to
travel with bags of luggage. With the roof
down, Astra TwinTop offers an excellent
205 litres of luggage space. And as a
coupé, it boasts a luggage compartment
volume of 440 litres. That’s even more
than the Astra five-door hatchback. And
that’s not all. There’s additional storage
space in two compartments in the side
panel of the boot. And the handy rear
seat load-through facility helps you
make room for long items.
Easy load. At 205 litres, TwinTop
already boasts an impressive roof-down
luggage space, but its exclusive – and
very smart – Easy Load function helps
you load and unload your luggage more
easily. When you push the button, the
folded roof section rises by around 25cm,
providing easier access to the load area.
Innovative roof system. The Astra TwinTop roof is brilliantly engineered – three
sections, five electric motors, eight hydraulic cylinders and 14 articulated joints. Why?
Because we wanted it to look great, and maximise your luggage space too – something
else we’ve achieved with spectacular success. This is clearly not your ordinary steel
roof. It’s fully automatic, for a start, with no additional clips to release or fasten. Just hold
the button, then sit back and relax. Opening and closing safely and securely takes less
than 30 seconds. And the system even works on the move at low speeds – up to 18mph
to be precise.
