Holden’s soon to be released Cruze hatch has been awarded the highest possible five-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).

Launching in November, the Australian designed and built Cruze hatch maintains the high safety standards set by the Series II Cruze sedan which went on sale earlier this year.

Like the sedan, hatch receives the maximum safety rating thanks to standard fitment of a comprehensive range of high-technology active and passive safety features.

Six airbags including driver and front passenger, front side impact and side curtain airbags, electronic stability control, anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control and a collapsible pedal assembly system all come standard.

The entire Cruze range also benefits from a robust body structure and a technically advanced chassis system which delivers enhanced accident avoidance capabilities.

Energy-absorbing load paths protect the passenger safety cell and offer optimum protection in the event of a collision.

GM Holden Chairman and Managing Director, Mike Devereux said Holden had always been very confident in the real world safety capabilities of Cruze.

“We knew we were building an extremely safe car but it’s great to get this third party recognition,� Mr Devereux said.

“The high level of safety features is just one of the many reasons Cruze has been so well received in this country, making it Australia’s third best selling passenger car in 2011* with just one body style.

“With stunning Cruze hatch styling, a high level of standard features and now this safety stamp of approval, we believe we’re on to a real winner.

“We can’t wait to get the hatch version into our showrooms next month and into customer’s hands.”

*Year to date VFACTs figures as at August 2011
