The German tuning house starts by upgrading the station wagon's looks with the addition of a front spoiler, new upper and lower grilles in a honeycomb design, side skirts and a roof spoiler.
Based on the most-powerful version of the new Astra, the 1.6 Turbo, the German tuner's engineers squeezed out an extra 20HP and 65Nm of torque from the four-cylinder petrol unit boosting output to 200HP and 295Nm or 217.6 lb-ft.
Irmscher's package also bundles a sport suspension that lowers the car's ride height by 30mm and a choice of 18- or 20-inch alloy wheels in beefier sport tires, which help give the Opel a meaner stance.
The Irmscher treatment for the Dodge Journey is purely cosmetic as there are no performance enhancements for the SR that keeps the standard model's 140HP 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine.
Buyers can also upgrade the new Astra with a sport exhaust system with two or four tail pipes and a suspension kit that lowers the car's ride height by 30mm for a sportier stance.
On the inside, Irmscher's offerings include a leather package for the seats, door panels and central armrests, matt aluminium door-locking pins and sport pedals.
