SPORT SWITCH
Instant switching to a sharper
throttle and more responsive
steering – and back. It’s like
sports performance to suit
your mood. Two cars in one.
Models with IDS-plus also
add noticeably sportier
chassis dynamics with more
body control.
ESP-plus
Whether it’s a wet roundabout
or a greasy road – one day
you might meet a slippery
surface that catches you out.
That’s the day you’ll be glad
you specified our latest
generation Electronic Stability
Programme, which quickly
applies corrective braking to
help you regain control.
DYNAMIC CHASSIS
Every Astra is fun to drive,
striking a careful balance
between ride comfort and
agility. Choose the exciting
Astra Sport Hatch or opt for
any SXi or SRi model and you’ll
benefit from a more dynamic
lowered sports chassis.
ULTIMATE DRIVER CONTROL
There was a time when computer controlled damping was future
technology for most drivers. Now it’s available on Astra as part of
the Interactive Driving System with Continuous Damping Control.
Basically, it senses changes in the vehicle dynamics and automatically
adjusts the damper rates – in real time – bringing you confident
cornering behaviour and sharper handling with reduced body roll.
You’ll find more information and details of availability for all the features covered on
these pages in the separate Specification insert.
ABS WITH CBC
Most people appreciate the
benefits of ABS, but Astra
takes things further with extra
technology – Cornering Brake
Control and Emergency Brake
Assist – that makes the car
even easier to control and
stop in extreme cornering
and braking situations.
