In tests conducted by Euro CAP, Astra scored 34 points. This was made possible thanks to the very good results of frontal and side collisions.

Opel's sister brand Saab, the 9-3 Convertible, also received a 5-star rating in the current series of tests. The new Opel Tigra TwinTop, which received four stars, also performed well.

“We are thrilled to receive this award, which is also a recognition of GM's commitment to safety enhancement systems,” said Karl-Peter Forster, president of General Motors Europe, which includes Opel and Saab.
