Holden’s highly-anticipated VF Commodore and WN Caprice range
has been awarded a maximum five star ANCAP safety rating just weeks before it
officially arrives in Australian showrooms.
The five star rating applies to every new Commodore sedan,
Sportwagon and Ute and long wheel base Caprice variant.
From the entry level Evoke sedan to the flagship Caprice V,
every VF and WN variant is comprehensively equipped with advanced safety
technology features including Auto Park Assist, rear view camera and front and
rear parking sensors.
Holden also makes available Forward Collision Alert, Lane
Departure Warning, Blind Spot Alert, Reverse Traffic Alert and Head-Up Display
across a range of models.
This is in addition to the long list of standard safety features
on Commodore and Caprice including front driver and passenger airbags, side
curtain and new pelvis/thorax side impact airbags, Electronic Stability Control
with ABS, EBD, EBA and TCS, rear seat belt reminder that alerts the driver if
the rear seats are unbuckled in transit, and flashing emergency stop
lights.
Furthermore, all Commodore sedan, Sportwagon and Caprice models
are equipped with three ISOFIX child seat anchorage points across the back row.
Holden makes this globally proven child seat safety technology
available to Australian families by offering the latest ISOFIX anchorage system
ahead of the technology’s official approval by Standards Australia.
ISOFIX is an international system for attaching child restraints to vehicles
that assists in correct seat fitment.
Holden’s Manager for Vehicle Structure & Safety Integration,
Steve Curtis said achieving ANCAP’s five star safety rating reinforces Holden’s
strong commitment to making safety accessible to all Australians.
“We worked extremely hard to advance every key safety metric
across the new Commodore and Caprice range,” he said.
“Commodore is a popular family car, but what most large cars
haven’t been able to offer before is three ISOFIX fastenings across the back
seat.
“Research suggests around 70 per cent of conventional Australian
child safety seats are fitted incorrectly, which means ISOFIX technology will
become an important feature for families with young children.”
