We pit the 2023 Opel Astra PHEV against the Seat León e-Hybrid, that is, two compacts with plug-in hybrid mechanics. The German has 180 hp and the Spanish 204. In the case of plug-in hybrid models, power is everything? For the Opel Astra, it is already the sixth generation, known as the Astra L. And it is not just another one, but a model already manufactured 100% under the tutelage of the Stellantis Group, so it shares many technical elements with the Peugeot 308 or the DS 4, for example. The most important of them is the EMP2 platform on which it is based. The Seat León, despite having been on the market for longer, remains very current. Its large grille, aggressive headlights, and well-framed fog lights stand out. 💥 SUBSCRIBE TO our CHANNEL 🔥 https://tinyurl.com/yammjd37 🔥 ALL our IN-DEPTH TESTS 👉🏻 https://tinyurl.com/ydxjsdnx Now it's time to tell you about its mechanics. I'll also start here with the Opel Astra Plug-in Hybrid. On the one hand, it has a 150 hp 1.6 gasoline engine that is associated with an 8-speed automatic transmission and, on the other hand, it has an 81.2 kWh electric module, which is 110 hp. And the combined power is 180 hp, with 360 Nm of torque. The new Astra PHEV goes from 0-50 in 3.0 s and from 0-100 in 7.7 s. A real savagery for a compact that is more efficient than sporty. And the recoveries are also surprising, because it goes from 80 to 120 km/h in 5 seconds, so overtaking is a piece of cake.

In this test, with a mixed route, it has made a real average of 4.3 liters, which is really good. For its part, the León e-Hybrid has a smaller combustion engine. In this case it is a 1.4, although it also has 4 cyl. and also 150 hp, like the Opel. And here a more powerful electric motor is added, of 85 kW, that is, 116 hp, to achieve a total power of 204 hp, with 350 Nm of torque. Its performance?
