Barina lifts its crash safety rating 06 Nov 2008
GM Holden's small car Barina has lifted its crash rating, scoring four stars in the latest tests. The result has been welcomed by the company after the car scored just two stars - out of five stars - from the Australian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) in 2006. Holden said the improved rating for the upgraded 2009 model reflected structural improvements and the addition of side impact airbags across the hatchback range. The ANCAP result was welcome as Barina was an important and significant vehicle for Holden in the small car market. Holden has sold more than 34,000 of the current model Barina since its Australian launch in 2005. |
