A vehicle door handle assembly includes an electrical release mechanism including a switch connected to a door latch and a first rotatable lever to rotate between a rest position and an active position wherein the first rotatable lever activates the switch to open the vehicle door. The assembly also includes a backup mechanical release mechanism including a second rotatable lever to rotate between a rest position and an active position in which the second rotatable pulls on a cable linked to the latch to open the door, and an inertial blocking mechanism including an inertial lever to rotate between a rest position and an active position in which the inertial lever blocks the rotation of both the first rotatable lever and the second rotatable lever towards their active position. The inertial lever rotates towards its active position when submitted to an acceleration higher than a predetermined threshold.
