New Astra Style
March 1st, 2010 by admin
Car buyers today do not have to sacrifice elegance and comfort to find the economical, safe car they want. The New Astra offers all of that and much more. Astra has been engineered to offer a sleek coupe-like look in a high-functioning hatchback style. The economical auto provides all of the gas-saving advantages of a small car with the power and luxury touches usually found in bigger, more expensive models. When you add in it’s emphasis on safety, the Astra is the ideal car-buying solution for many shoppers.
Astra is marketed with a choice of several engines and five trims. It’s exterior includes stylish touches such as chrome accents, eagle eye-shaped headlamps, daylight running lights, and the distinctive blade motif, with its snappy look. The Astra’s soft, sleek exterior do not hint at its interior roominess. Inside the spacious car, elegant touches such as the gooseneck shape of the door grab handles and gearshift moulding provide a sense of luxury. Features like the center-mounted panel add to the sense of depth and space, while storage solutions provide exceptional convenience. In response to customer feedback, the New Astra engineers included innovative extras, such as a hard-shelled sunglass case, coin slots, pen holders inside of the glove box lid, and two removable compartments. There is even an underseat storage drawer.
Both safety and comfort are part of Astra’s design. Front seats offer fore and aft movement extending to 280mm. An adjustable driver’s seat can adjust for heights up to 65mm and the steering wheel also can be altered for comfort. Head restraints offer protection against whiplash. The New Astra includes two front airbags, two side airbags and a pair of roof rail-mounted airbags. Numerous other safety features are standard on the car, including an audible seatbelt reminder and front seat frames to restrict occupant movement on impact. Even Astra’s lighting system boasts an array of safety features, such as a highway light, which automatically engages at over 60 mph and provides a more intense main beam.
Astra’s elegance, quality, and comfort are just the beginning. Under the hood it offers a choice of several fuel-efficient engines which do not sacrifice power. The New Astra has been designed to offer especially responsive steering and a suspension system that provides the smoothest possible ride on the roughest roads. Astra’s good looks, safety, and functionality make it a smart choice for a savvy car shopper.
