Happy Australia Day 2012

Australia Day's a time when we are reminded of the things that make us proud to be Australian. And, here at Holden, we're proud to be making the kind of cars Australians want to drive, and making them right here in Australia.

Like the new Cruze Hatch, and soon, a new purpose-built LPG Commodore.We're also working on the new Holden Volt, a car that will change the way we look at electric cars forever.

Holden's part of Australia, with a proud history, and an exciting future.
And on a day like Australia Day, that's something we celebrate.

HOLDEN’S FIVE STAR LINE-UP GAINS ANOTHER MEMBER

Holden’s Series II Captiva 7 SX diesel has secured a maximum five-star safety rating from the
Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).

Launched in February 2011, the Holden Series II Captiva range was enhanced with the
introduction of six airbags – driver, front passenger, front side and curtain airbags - as standard on
all models, an electric park brake and Hill Start Assist technology to prevent “roll-away” on inclines.

These features were added to Captiva’s already impressive array of active and passive safety
technology including Electronic Stability Control system incorporating anti-lock braking, electronic
brakeforce distribution, brake assist, traction control and active rollover protection.

All Captiva models are also fitted with a descent control system which maintains a slow speed for
navigating steep downhill gradients.

Holden’s Vehicle Structure & Safety Integration Manager, Steve Curtis said it was great to receive
a local endorsement for this globally successful car.

"We’ve been very confident in the Captiva’s safety credentials, particularly after the Chevrolet
Captiva range was awarded a top five star rating from EuroNCAP in October,” Mr Curtis said.
“But it’s great to know that yet another Holden has earned the highest Australian safety rating."
Captiva 7 SX diesel joins the Commodore, Cruze and Barina range which have all been awarded
the maximum five star safety rating from ANCAP.
