The ASEAN New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) has announced that the new Toyota Fortuner and Innova variants equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) have achieved the maximum five-star rating in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) tests.
The Toyota Innova managed a score of 14.10 in the AOP test for a five-star rating. However, as per ASEAN NCAP regulations, only vehicles equipped with ESC are eligible to receive the maximum rating — variants without ESC get a lesser four-star score.
For Child Occupant Protection (COP), the Innova managed 76% compliance overall, with the percentage enough for a four-star rating. Assembled in Indonesia, the Innova tested was also equipped with ISOFIX child-seat anchors and top tethers fitted as standard.
The Toyota Fortuner, on the other hand, was rated but not physically tested. ASEAN NCAP explains that it was provided with “technical evidence from Toyota that it has comparable occupant protection with identical design and similar restraint system for crashworthiness as the Hilux.” The seven-seater SUV is based on the new Hilux pick-up truck.
This has led to the Fortuner being exempted from any actual crash tests. It carries over the Hilux’s a 14.53 score for AOP – good enough for a full five-star rating. As such, it also scores the same four-star, 71% compliance for COP.
But as per the Innova, the Fortuner’s five-star rating is only for vehicles equipped with Electronic Stability Control. Those without the active safety feature do not quality for full marks, and therefore settle for just a four-star rating.
The new Toyota Innova, Fortuner and Hilux trio will be coming to Malaysia this year. Find out more here.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Some say P1 got 5 stars is tipu cuz ASEANCAP is kopi & crony & corup. So means toyota get 5 stars is oso cuz kopi & crony & corup. Shud be 1 star according to their logic
Jeles macai. Proton and Toyota total sales difference only 9k units apart.
So what if sales difference? VW oso got big worldwide sales but they got dieselgate cheat
those shit designs means something..
Toyota paid undertable money to ASEAN NCAP to get 5 stars rating like what Sam Loo said.
Toyota is No 1 conman company and cannot give more airbags and basic VSC on any of their cars. In Europe and US, VSC is compulsory no matter how cheap your car is. That is how important VSC is
In Malaysia, Toyota rips people. They overcharge their cars by 3 fold and yet, they take out the VSC in their cars endangering your life.
The chances of accident is super super super high if a car has no VSC. Go and google paultan’s article on VSC and see for yourself. Once you read it, you will never touch a car without VSC
I have no idea why UMW does this to us Malaysians. Already overcharge us 3x, then double whammy, take out airbas, take out VSC and take out about 20 other safety features available as standard in global Toyotas of the same model
Anyway, where is the VSC in Vios, Altis and Camry Toyota? This Innova got VSC? If no VSC, how can score 5 stars?
OMG…u blind kah? 5 stars for those with VSC. No VSC will not get 5 stars.
Kat situ terang2 tulis with esc test..facepalm..bash without reading
Bodoh. Macam aku.
This really makes me question ASEAN NCAP. Vehicle with just 2 airbags can get 5 star?
And just base the rating on a spec comparison? Even with the safety equipment on board like DSC and ESC, the behavior of the vehicle under duress is different due to weight distribution and overhangs of the vehicle. Think ASEAN NCAP just lost 2 Stars of credibility because of this. :p
Innova has 3 airbags, and Indonesian top spec model has 7 airbags
Innova has 3 airbags, and Indonesian top spec has 7 airbags
Innova has 3 airbags, and top spec Indonesian model has 7 airbags
Still dun hv Toyota Vios rating, why?
Yaa…i knew
MCB just sell la idiot UMW….other country already got their fortuner and u still keep it like a secret….blurghhh
Most of the people talk and no, how important the VSC.
But the sales figure still go to Toyata every year.
No wonder la UMW said, no VSC no problem, Malaysian don’t really want it.
Even, some of the OEM offered a good safety features in their new model, but still can’t sell. Malaysian more focusing on brand, not safety.
If your car breakdown it still can be fix under warranty, by your live/your family live..PRICELSS!
ASEAN NCAP really needs to change their rating method to count only standard safety features. Knowing Toyota, only the highest variant will get VSC so it’ll be quite easy to mislead people with the 5* rating.
As it should be. Most test rating bases their test cars on the lowest available base spec.
Who is ANCAP trying to fool here.
no side airbag can get 5 stars?? LOL
