Comfort & Convenience - Saturn ASTRA Product Manual

2008 Saturn ASTRA
Comfort & Convenience
The new ASTRA has a European-styled interior that is more upscale and precisely
refined than one would expect in this segment. Interior fit-and-finish is
remarkable with high-quality materials, supportive yet comfortable seating,
and numerous premium features. The hatchback design also provides greater
functionality and versatility for the more youthful, active buyers this vehicle
will attract.
Interior Design Highlights
• Instrument panel is made from a cast skin foam process
that creates a pronounced grain texture with a low-gloss
finish and soft-touch feel
• Gaps between panels and components are nearly
imperceptible with incredibly tight tolerances measuring
less than 1mm (0.04")
• Charcoal interior color complemented by a contrasting
silver metallic matte chrome finish on XR models, charcoal
metallic on XE
• Cloth-covered A-pillars and woven headliner are
additional fine touches unexpected in this segment
• Simple, straightforward cockpit design is clean and
intuitive with amber lighting, backlit controls and a
3-gauge cluster. Controls are ergonomically designed and
placed for ease of use and have an excellent tactile feel.
