A list of impressive features are all packaged in the five star safety rating for the Holden Cruz. Results from crash tests in Germany, Sweden and Korea confirm Holden’s long term commitment to safety.
Safety and safety related features that are standard across the Holden Cruz range include Traction Control, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) as well as Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).
The Holden Cruze stands out in the small car segment with its five star safety rating when you add features like front side and curtain airbags. Indeed the driver airbag (60-litres) can fully inflate in 60 milliseconds while the front passenger airbag can inflate to its capacity 130 litres in 70 milliseconds.
Side airbags are mounted on the driver and front passenger seats as well. Additional head and neck protection are taken care of by head curtain airbags mounted to the roofrails.
The unibody of the Holden Cruze is a high-strength steel structure with frame rails and safety cage in a single welded unit. This provides maximum protection for driver and passengers as BFI (body-frame-integral) or unibody structure and structural integrity is very important to a vehicle’s crashworthiness.
Additionally the pedals on the floor of the driver’s cabin have also been designed to collapse on impact which dramatically reduces the chances of lower limb injuries to the driver in the event of an accident.
Holden prices are expected to hold steady, and especially the Holden Cruz price, despite all the commitment and attention to detail the carmaker is giving to safety features.
