Is the electric Opel Astra estate available in Ireland?

I love the look of the Opel Astra Sports Tourer but if I was interested it would be in an electric version. The opel.ie website is very confusing as to whether that exists.

On https://www.opel.ie/cars/sports-tourer/overview-features.html it says "Make way for the new generation Opel Astra Sports Tourer. Choose petrol, diesel or 100% electric".

Further down that page, it says "The future is electric. Discover Astra Sports Tourer Plug-in Hybrid. Performance without compromise. Are you ready for a change?"

Now, plug-in hybrid might be great but it's not 100 per cent electric. I've tried the car configurator and the price list but nowhere is there a reference to an electric Astra Sports Tourer.

Does it exist?

Hi Conor,

I spoke with a representative of Opel Ireland today and they asked me to apologise to you for the confusion.

The electric version of the Sports Tourer is indeed available, but it's what's called a "special order" model, so it has been removed from the public-facing price list etc. If you contact your local Opel dealer, they should be able to talk you through the process of ordering one. 

Don't forget to read our review of the Opel Astra Electric (though we've not tested the estate model).

Update on 2 Sep 2025: Opel Ireland got in touch to say the online documentation has been updated. You can get the new Opel Astra price list here.
