Fourth generation (1998–2005)
Fifth generation (2004–present)
The fifth generation Holden AH Astra was now based on the Opel Astra H. This five-door hatchback was sold in Australia from December 2004, selling alongside the Polish-built Astra G, which carried "Astra Classic" badges. However, the Astra Classic was dropped in late 2005, and replaced by the new Holden Viva, a rebadged Daewoo Lacetti. It continues in Poland as the Opel Astra Classic.
In August 2005, the Astra Wagon was released in Australia, but not in New Zealand where the Holden Viva wagon had replaced it.
Diesel variants of the Astra were released in June 2006, which was a first for the Astra in Australia (But not New Zealand where the Astra A had previously been offered with a 1.7 litre Turbo Diesel). Two versions were offered: a six-speed manual option with a 110 kW (148 hp) 1.9 litre CDTi engine, and a six-speed automatic model with an 88 kW (118 hp) version of the same engine. In January 2007, Holden released the Astra SRi and Twintop. Both come with a 2.2 litre petrol engine producing 110 kW (148 hp), available with the six-speed manual or four-speed automatic. The SRi is available in hatch and coupe bodystyles.
The current line-up consists of: CD, CDX, CDTi, SRi and SRi Turbo and the VXR. CDXi was dropped after the arrival of the CDTi, which is similar to the CDXi physically but is higher-specced inside.
AH models come with front and side impact airbags as standard inclusions.
From mid-way through 2006, the MY06.5 revision was released which includes head-protecting curtain airbags as standard equipment for tbe CDX variants.
The SRi and CDTi variants have standard ESP (Electronic Safety Program - a type of stability control).
In mid-2007 the Astra line-up received a facelift including tweaked front grille and lights on all models, and a power upgrade with the 1.8 litre petrol engines from 92 kW (123 hp) to 103 kW (138 hp), meaning a power increase of 11%. The engines available in the SRi, SRi Turbo and CDTi remain unchanged.
