ASTRA CLASSIC

Astra has been engineered to give you a dynamic driving experience. With unprecedented levels of style and performance, Astra is a car that must be driven to be believed. The seductive blend of European styling and sophisticated engineering have continually made it an award winner. Head-turning good looks, superb performance capabilities and truly dynamic handling all deliver a winning combination in what is a genuine drivers car.

CONFIDENCE

With a class-leading level of safety, the Astra Classic handles almost any road condition with confidence. The Astra Classic comes standard with Lotus-tuned suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes. Control is further enhanced with an optional pack which includes a perfectly balanced combination of a 4-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Traction Control. ABS prevents the wheels locking up, allowing you to steer while braking heavily in slippery conditions. Electronic Traction Control automatically senses and minimises wheel spin. In all Astra Classics, Pyrotechnic Front Seat Belt Pre-tensioners take up seat belt slack early, minimising forward motion. Anti-submarining Ramps under the seats counter the bodys natural downward motion, keeping the body in position and maximising the efficiency of the seat belts while Front Seat Belt Force Limiters serve to reduce the risk of injury to the torso. In a serious frontal collision, the Pedal Release System drops the pedals away from the driver, helping to minimise injuries to the lower limbs and the Driver and Front Passenger Airbags instantly activate, reducing the likelihood of serious injury. So when it comes to getting the best out of your Astra Classic, you can have the confidence that you are protected by some of the most advanced safety features available. Check the specifications & features pages for full details.
