Kadett with a new name, except in South Africa, where the hatchbacks retained the old one till 1999.

Carryover platform, with upgrades, but body not as fluid as Kadett E’s. Hatchbacks first in July 1991, Caravan estate from October. Four-door saloon from 1992 and Bertone-made cabriolet from 1993. Some quality issues with rust problems on original models; production improvements after mid-term changes in 1994. Potent turbocharged 200 ts in South Africa with 151 kW. With the Astra G in 1998, most models were replaced, but cabriolet continued to 2000; Polish production of Astra Classic continued to 2002.
