The Astra J is based on the General Motors’ Delta II platform and debuted at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany. The car has taken most of its styling from the new Opel Insignia, with many of the higher options fitted as standard. Full production came on line at Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port Plant at the end of September 2009. Deliveries began in December 2009. Originally referred to as the “Astra I”, it received the “Astra J” name instead to avoid confusing the letter I for the number 1.
