Euro NCAP safety testing has been completed on two of Vauxhall’s latest models, with both passing with flying colours.
The recently released Vauxhall Astra GTC and Zafira Tourer have both been awarded the top five-star overall rating after undergoing comprehensive crash testing by the independent consumer organisation. The test categories covered both adult and child passenger safety, pedestrian safety, and in-vehicle driver assistance systems.
Consisting of EU transport ministry representatives, and representatives from automotive associations and car insurers, Euro NCAP tests vehicles in various crash scenarios to a standard exceeding the minimum level required by EU law.
Vauxhall Opel's Engineering Vice President Rita Forst said of the Astra GTC and Zafira Tourers results, "Passenger safety has always been high on our agenda, and we are pleased not only to have met the safety standards with Astra GTC and Zafira Tourer, but to have surpassed them."
The Vauxhall Astra GTC will makes its first showroom appearance next month, having been available to order since June, while the new Zafira Tourer can be ordered from November 1st with the first examples to hit the showrooms in February 2012.
