Honda HR-V scores five-star ASEAN NCAP rating

Honda-HR-V-ASEAN-NCAP

More ASEAN NCAP crash test results have come in, and this time it’s the turn of the wildly-popular Honda HR-V – the B-segment SUV, which made its market debut earlier in February, receives a five-star rating from the regional safety programme.

In the 64 km/h frontal offset crash test, the Thai-market HR-V scored 15.21 points out of a possible 16 in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), well within the five-star threshold. It also nabbed a four-star Child Occupant Protection (COP) rating – with 73% compliance – and passed the UN R95 side impact test necessary to achieve AOP ratings four stars and up.

Stability control, required for a five-star rating, is standard on all HR-Vs. However, certain models sold within the region are only fitted with a driver seat belt reminder, instead of on both front seats (also a prerequisite for five stars); those get a four-star AOP rating instead. As far as Malaysia is concerned, only the top-spec V model gets both driver and passenger seat belt reminders and is thus five-star rated.

  • ASEAN NCAP should just take the lowest spec of every vehicle they test. Having different ratings for higher variants will lead to the manufacturer boasting 5 stars for the model when only the top variant got it.

    Make it like Euro NCAP where a certain safety feature must be standard across all variants to be counted. That’s why the European Mazda 2 only got 4 stars because the autonomous braking isn’t standard.

    This would serve as some form of encouragement for manufacturers to not stinge on safety for the lower variants.

      Exactly!

      Also, side impacts need to be tested and rated properly… they say they do them, but never publish any results, and any car passes their side impact tests, so they can’t be that strict.

      More like Govmt force Honda to let them have 34%, if not cannot sell in Malaysia. Malaysia govemt must have 30% of every big industrial. Anyways buy cars if you need/like them, not if it’s under govemt or not.
