The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) today released the latest round of test results at the ASEAN NCAP Grand Prix Awards in Kuching, Sarawak – four models make up the set for Q3 2014 testing, which is part of the agency’s move towards a more frequent “test-and-publish” programme following the conclusion of its three-phase pilot project.
The four vehicles that underwent the latest round of crash test evaluation are the 2014 Honda City and 2014 Honda Jazz, the Tata Vista and the upcoming Perodua Axia. The result summary for the vehicles in both Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Child Occupant Protection (COP) is as follows:
- Perodua Axia 1000-E built 2014, MY2014 – Adult: 4 stars, Child: 4 stars
- Honda City SV built 2014, MY2014 – Adult: 5 stars (4 stars, two airbags), Child: 4 stars
- Honda Jazz SV, built 2014, MY2014 – Adult: 5 stars (4 stars, two airbags), Child: 4 stars
- Tata Vista GZX 1.4L built 2014, MY2014 – Adult: 3 stars, Child: 3 stars
The Tata Vista, which scored 9.24 points out of a possible 16 in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), is produced in India and is only available in Indonesia and Myanmar. The agency says that this is the first time a car of Indian manufacturing origin has undergone ASEAN NCAP assessment.
Both Honda City and Jazz models that were tested were Thai-built models for the Thailand market, with the six airbags variant scoring five stars, and the two airbag version obtaining four stars. In the AOP rating, the Honda City broke the record score in ASEAN NCAP testing by managing 15.80 points, surpassing the previous high of 15.73 points obtained by the Ford Fiesta. The Jazz scored 15.58 points.
The Perodua Axia, meanwhile, has the honour of being the first vehicle in the evaluation programme to be launched into the market with ASEAN NCAP results, and is set to be the most affordable 4-star car (in both AOP and COP) in the ASEAN region, according to the agency. It managed an AOP score of 12.91.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express strong opinions on ASEAN NCAP safety ratings, with concerns that the results may not accurately reflect real-world safety, especially regarding side impact tests. Many highlight that base-model Honda City and Jazz with only two airbags scored 4 stars, attributing higher ratings to the presence of ESP, and note that vehicles with similar or higher safety features receive higher scores elsewhere, like Euro NCAP. Critics question the credibility of ASEAN NCAP, arguing it is less rigorous than international standards. There is debate over the safety of affordable cars like Axia, with some claiming it is underprotected, while others praise its performance for the price. Overall, sentiments are mixed but tend to question ASEAN NCAP's reliability, with many emphasizing that safety features and crash test scores should be interpreted cautiously.
