Astra GTC and Zafira Tourer both awarded five stars in stringent safety tests

Two of Vauxhall’s very latest models, the Zafira Tourer and the Astra GTC, have been awarded a maximum five-star rating by independent consumer organisation, Euro NCAP.

In all test categories (passenger safety for adults and children, as well as pedestrian safety and driver assistance systems), both vehicles achieved excellent results. Their body stability was also praised, while inside, each car’s safety belts for child passengers were found to offer high levels of protection.

“We are proud of the latest five-star results,” said Rita Forst, vice president of Opel/Vauxhall Engineering. “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.”
