New Vectra - New Rules - New Thinking

The car that won Europe's coveted Golden Steering Wheel Award is here. The all new Vectra - a bold uninterrupted sweep from headlight to tail, cutting edge technology and new levels of performance.

Vectra CDXi features the  latest generation Electronic Stability Program* - so smart that it senses an out of control vehicle situation, and automatically corrects it before you even realise you're in one. All models feature Cornering Brake Control*, Anti-lock Brakes*, Electronic Brake Force Distribution*, Brake Assist* and Traction Control*.

An exhilarating new 3.2 litre V6 quad-cam 24 valve engine produces an amazing 155kW compliments the economical 2.2 litre 4 cylinder engine (108kW).

*Technical Terms Explained:-

ABS - Anti-lock Braking System: Eliminates road wheel lock-up, prevents skidding and aids driver steering control under emergency braking.

TC - Traction Control: Provides traction via engine intervention and single wheel braking if required, to prevent wheel spin

 

BA - Brake Assist: Maximises braking pressure in emergency braking situations, thus helping the car to stop in a shorter distance

CBC - Cornering Brake Control: Electronically balances braking "side to side" when braking in corners, making cornering safer and more precise

EBD - Electronic Brakeforce Distribution: Electronically balances the braking Front to rear to compensate for load or weight transference in stopping situations. Reduces the risk or rear wheel lockup.

ESP - Electronic Stability Program: The latest generation stability system, which senses when the car is deviating from the driver's chosen line and automatically applies the necessary power and braking adjustments to correct its road position. Can brake up to three wheels at one time to provide better control in understeer or oversteer situations.
