The new 2016 Toyota Hilux has been put to test by ASEAN NCAP, and it has passed with flying colours – the pick-up truck scored a five-star rating in the regional safety programme’s crash tests.
In the standard 64 km/h frontal offset crash test, Toyota’s workhorse scored 14.53 points out of a maximum of 16 in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), putting it within the five-star range. It also collected four stars in Child Occupant Protection (COP), with a 71% compliance rating.
The new Hilux comes with a minimum of three airbags – including one for the driver’s knee – with up to seven airbags (two side, two curtain) available; Australia and Europe get the whole lot as standard. However, stability control, a prerequisite for a five-star rating, is an option in some regions, so those without the safety net get four stars instead.
So far, four pickup trucks have been tested by ASEAN NCAP, and the Hilux slots ahead of the Chevrolet Colorado (five stars/15.19 points in AOP, three stars/63% in COP), Mitsubishi Triton (four stars/13.56 points in AOP, two stars/48% in COP) and Isuzu D-Max (four stars/11.87% in AOP, four stars/71% in COP).
However, the programme also included results of a Mitsubishi Triton with seven airbags and stability control (ours only has two airbags and no ESC) taken from the Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP) – that scored five stars in AOP with 15.22 points, but also scored only two stars in COP with 48% compliance.

Yay! Sam Loo very proud liao!!
Finally,sam loos toyota became safety.
who cares about ASEAN NCAP..last time always promote P1 nw nobody cares coz we tada caya sama lu
Lets see what Toyota bashers got to say about this
If others get 5 star he said duit kopi. If toyota got 5 star he said it’s real safe. Topkek
Who said it’s ‘duit kopi’?
I ejaculate when I see this car!
Look at both sides in the second diagram, why both have rating of 14.53/16.00 but the left has 4 stars and the right 5 stars rating? Who is doing a sloppy job?
Sam Loo will say
“ASEAN NCAP is useless, run by kroni so the result is actually opposite just like Preve and suprimak actual safety is 1 star, cannot trust them one.
Eh? What you mean my beloved Hilat, I mean Hilulz, err I mean Hilux oso got 5 stars?
Eh? You’re asking it means my Hilat, err Hilux oso 1 star kah? Err..er..err..SPIN TIME!
Err. Actually only the results for toyota you can trust one. Proton and others are duit kopi to pass one. Toyota veri gooding. You only need 4 stars, more is just added bonus that you should pay to add on safety pack.
Eh, Vios no safety pack? Err if Vios dun have, go for Altis topkek spec lah! Hah!? No money? Who ask you to be poorfag?
Poorfags buy Proton, sure die one. Only those who have money have lives worth saving! If you have no money, work harder so that someday in the future you can come beg me to sell you an altis!”
Somebody said with donatation u can easily get higher star. So i think this crap also do a lot of donation then can get 5 stars. In actual use how can a crap able to protect people?
toyota hilux.. the choice for armed robbers..
Give you 10star also useless when majority of malaysian not even wear seatbelt
its the attitude of the drivers that mattered most, not the vehicle’s safety evaluation scores.
