Reassurance and protection in one complete package.

Driver and passenger airbags. Full size driver and passenger airbags are standard on every Astra. Created by advanced hybrid technology, these airbags are inflated by gas from a low pyrotechnic charge, plus compressed inert gas, reducing the risk of head, face and upper body injury in the event of a severe frontal impact.

At Holden they are committed to translating advanced design engineering and technology into tangible benefits. And nothing is more important to them than our safety. The all-new Holden Astra makes driver and passenger airbags and seatbelt pretensioners standard. Triggered at impact, these two major safety features combine to reduce the risk of serious facial and internal injuries. A breakaway pedal system disengages in severe frontal collisions to help reduce injury to the driver's feet and legs. And if that's not enough, Astra CD gives you the option of an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and electronic Traction Control. These advanced safety features maximise steering control and help prevent vehicle instability during emergency braking.

Seatbelt pretentioners. Pyrotechnic front body lock seatbelt pretentioners rapidly retract to help prevent occupants sliding under the belt or being thrown forward in a frontal collision.

Height adjustable seatbelts. Astra's advanced body-lock system features height adjustable seatbelts attached directly to the seat frame for optimal positioning.

Side impact door beams. Designed to provide improved side impact protection, high strength alloy door beams have been incorporated as an internal safety feature of the all-new Holden Astra.
