Saturn Astra

2008 - 2009 models

OVERALL BUMPER EVALUATION: Poor

OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE DAMAGE: $1,704


TEST DETAILS: During the front full-overlap test, the Saturn Astra bumper system underrode the barrier, resulting in damage to the cover, energy absorber, reinforcement, hood and both headlamps. Additionally, the air conditioning condenser was bowed inward by grille contact. During the rear full-overlap test, the bumper engaged the barrier, resulting in cover, energy absorber and reinforcement damage. Additionally, the cover loaded the rear body panel crushing the rear body panel. During the front corner test, there was no bumper/barrier lateral engagement, resulting in cover damage and the headlamp being crushed by the barrier backstop. During the rear corner test, the bumper engaged the barrier, limiting damage to the bumper system (the cover, energy absorber and reinforcement extension).
