The Vectra tested by Euro NCAP had side curtains as standard. At the time of publication (Jul 04) these were only available on the Australian Vectra CDXi hatch. This variant has a 3.2 litre V6 engine.
The left-hand-drive 1.8 litre sedan was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page.
Dual front airbags, side airbags and ABS brakes are standard on all variants. Head-protecting side curtains and electronic stability control are standard on the CDXi variant but are not available on other variants. The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pre-tensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point seat belt.
