Are you feeling sporty or just looking to relax? The Astra’s FlexRide chassis lets you change driving modes at the touch of a button, safely and stably. Discover this and more of Opel’s driving innovations.
Superb ride comfort, driving dynamics, and steering response, with reduced noise and vibration are the main benefits gained from the Opel Astra chassis. The high torsional stiffness of the Opel Astra body provides the optimum platform for excellent handling precision, ride comfort and extremely low levels of noise and vibration.
The broad stance ensures high stability in corners, the long wheelbase a smooth ride even on bumpy roads.
The unique rear suspension of the Opel Astra is a compound crank axle with Watt’s linkage. The major benefits include a smoother ride and improved handling.
Imagine a car that continuously adapts its behaviour to road conditions and your driving style. Imagine at the push of a button you can select a comfortable cruiser or a dynamic sports car. This is exactly what the new FlexRide system is all about.
The FlexRide electronic chassis control system reacts instantly to changing conditions and continuously adapts to your driving style. Continuous Damping Control (CDC) adjusts the damper settings in real time. Four-channel ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Traction Control, and ESP®Plus all work together to provide fantastic driving dynamics.
With the FlexRide switches, you can change the driving dynamics at the touch of a button. Choose between three operating modes ‘Sport’, ‘Tour’ and ‘Normal’ – each optimised for different driving experiences from taut sporting excitement to relaxed long-distance cruising – all with uncompromised safety and stability.
