Every Saturn Astra generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008–2009 | 170.5″ | 68.9″ | 56.7″ | 102.8″ | 2,877 lb |
Will a Astra fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 14.2 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 14.2 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 5.7 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 659 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 68.9″ | 69.3″ | -0.4″ |
| Wheelbase | 102.8″ | 101.2″ | +1.6″ |
| Curb weight | 2,877 lb | 3,023 lb | -146 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
