Ourisman Chevrolet Stocks Five Star Safety Rated Vehicle

June 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Ourisman Chevrolet is pleased to announce that the Chevrolet Volt has been awarded a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s New Car Assessment Program.  The electric vehicle, in stock now at the Alexandria Chevrolet dealership, was also recognized as a 2011 IIHS Top Safety Pick.

To earn a five-star safety rating from NHTSA, vehicles must perform well on a rigorous series of tests designed to provide comprehensive safety performance and crash-avoidance technology information. These tests include a recently-added side pole test recreating a 20-mph side-impact crash into a 10-inch-diameter pole or tree at a 75-degree angle just behind the A-pillar on the driver’s side.

The Chevrolet Volt comes equipped with a number of safety features to protect VA Chevrolet drivers and their passengers. In addition to complete front, side, knee, and roof-mounted curtain airbags, the Volt also includes GM’s StabiliTrak electronic stability control system and a five-year subscription to OnStar’s Directions and Connections Plan, which features Automatic Crash response services. For added peace of mind, Volt buyers can also add an optional rearview camera system with navigation system display to their vehicles.
