When buying a new car you have to think more than ever before about the cost of running your chosen vehicle as the cost of motoring has rocketed in the last few years. With the price of petrol at an all time high, car insurance premiums increasing all the time along with the cost of servicing and MOT increasing it’s no wonder car leasing is becoming more popular than actually buying your next car. The main reason that car leasing is becoming more popular is down to hassle free motoring and the fact that you get more car for your money.

So when a manufacturer builds a car like the new Vauxhall Astra ecoFLEX that has fuel economy figures of 76.3mpg really helps keep the cost of motoring down. Vauxhall’s latest addition to the Astra range is a welcome one as the range has been missing an eco friendly version which has been good enough to rival such cars as the Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion or Ford Focus ECOnetic. Vauxhall’s new ecoFLEX system emits just 99g/km of CO2 which makes the new Astra the cleanest ever. To help achieve the 76.3mpg and keep the Astra ecoFLEX under 99g/km of CO2 Vauxhall has fitted there stop/start system and made small alterations to the aerodynamics of the car while also lowering the ride height by 12mm has helped the Vauxhall Astra ecoFLEX achieve below the magic mark of 100g/km. Even though Vauxhall has managed to reduce CO2 emissions, the new Vauxhall still manages decent performance figures as the Astra 1.7 CDTi ecoFLEX engine produces 128bhp.

The Astra ecoFLEX will be available to lease later on in the year so if you would like to be kept up to date with other special offers from Vauxhall and all of the latest lease car deals visit Lease-Cars-Direct. All of our Vauxhall vehicles are available on cheap Car leasing deals which come from main dealers only.
