Comments:

Astra is a very strong car with a very reliable body, providing good protection of your passengers. For the frontal blow, only two points were filmed, the behavior at the side strike is also impressive - not a single lost score. The protection of children is good, and children's chairs comply with almost all EURO NCAP requirements. For fastening the 3-year-old passenger's chair, ISOFIX fasteners were used, and for 18-month-seat belts. Pedestrian protection is bad.

Front punch:

The passive safety systems of the front passengers include single-stage airbags, pretensioners and belt load limiters. This complex worked well, although the load on the driver's chest could be lower. The brake and clutch pedals should be disconnected, thus reducing the risk of damage to the driver's feet. The deformation of the front panel and the compression of the deepening for the legs was minimal. A lot of effort was applied by designers to improve the protection of the knees and the hips of the driver.

Security of passenger children:

The 3-year-old passenger was located in the Britax Romer Duo Plus recommended by the manufacturer "in the direction of movement", and the younger in the chair Baby-Safe "against the direction of movement". The heads of both were well protected in front and lateral blows, but the load on the neck of the younger and chest older was high. The pictogram on the edge of the front panel was short-lived, besides, it does not prevent the inadmissibility of the installation of the children's chair "against the direction of movement" opposite the active airbag of the front passenger.

Side strike:

Impressive protection system with side impact, including side airbags for breast and pelvic departments. There is also a security curtain (basic equipment) to protect the seds of both rows.

Pedestrian safety:

Only two control points on the surface of the hood provided protection at the proper level. His front edge and bumper turned out to be very hard. The result disappointed, and experts recommended the manufacturer more seriously refer to this aspect of security.
