The Opel Astra Sports Hatch sports a very futuristic design and there has been logic and purpose applied to each and every aspect of the car. The front grill is designed and placed in such a manner so as to direct the air well past the wheels going into the sides of the car. There is a very common problem that most of the hatch backs face, especially when driving at higher speed levels. Hatchbacks normally tend to accumulate pool of air at the rear end, when the throttle or paddle is floored. This leads to a feeling of the car getting dragged and not being able to perform up to its maximum speed limit. The body of Opel Astra Sports Hatch is being designed in such a manner that it does not let the pool accumulate, resulting in minimizing the dragging of the car.

Efforts are also being made by the car manufacturers to ensure that when the car hits the market, it get the maximum mileage and positive review not only from the critics but also from the actual targeted users, which will help propel the sales numbers of the car.
