On average, European economy cars are way less powerful than ours because cars are expensive, and gas even more so.
I'd assume the new top of the line Astra will have the Sky redline motor dropped straight in, but in a FWD configuration and make ~250 HP, as I'm sure they'd de-tune it a bit for their economy car.

According to C&D the only engine will be the 4-banger non-aspirated economy engine...no turbo for you
