India’s Car Of The Year, the Renault Kwid, didn’t fare very well at all in Global NCAP assessments earlier this year. At the most recent assessment this month, the latest version of the Kwid with the highest safety equipment level – a single driver’s airbag and a seatbelt pretensioner for the driver’s seat – achieved a one-star rating for adult occupant protection (AOP) and one star for child occupant protection (COP).
During testing, the higher trim level variant still showed high chest deflection ratings, hence the one-star rating for the driver. In the most basic variant of the Kwid, which does not come with airbags, it collected a zero-star rating for AOP, with the Kwid’s bodyshell integrity rated “unstable.”
Meanwhile, the Honda Mobilio was tested in two guises: a basic version, and a higher specification level unit with dual airbags. In basic form without airbags, the Mobilio was given a zero-star rating on the AOP front, and one star for child occupant protection. With the optional two airbags, the Mobilio scored three stars for adult occupant protection and two stars for COP.
“Renault has made limited progress, they should be offering their one-star car as the standard version, not an option. Honda too has shown that with two airbags they can achieve three stars. These safety systems should not be options. Renault and Honda make safe cars in other markets, they have the know how to make all their Indian cars much safer. We expect them to start doing so now,” said David Ward, Secretary General of Global NCAP.
“Automobile manufacturers should not enhance safety features as an option rather, safety should be an uncompromising standard,” added Rohit Baluja, President of the Institute of Road Traffic Education.

Proton Ertiga ftw!
Renault want pipu to kwid living.
WOndering whether BR-V will head to Malaysian shore? The Innova is coming next month?
Proton please take notes , since you are getting 5 stars ASEAN NCAP for your persona , may be you should consider india as your next market
That’s because India-made Mobilio doesn’t have G-CON chassis structure. With that structure it should gaining the value from 3 stars to 4 stars. Waiting for ASEAN NCAP test
That’s the junk people get in 3rd world country, including us sadly… Iirc, of all Japanese car manufacturer, only Mazda doesnt produce anhthing like this.
At least it’s much safer than the garbage junk Exora
Exora Bold (with ESC) has 5 star NCAP. Which tamadun u crawled out from? Meanwhile toyota still timewarp in tamadun batu.
4 star ANCAP bro..not 5 star
Ah sori. Thanks for the correction, bro
Australia safety test is higher than ASEAN NCAP, so if you score 5 stars in ASEAN using lower speed impact, doesnt mean you are doing great, because a lot of others also can score five stars. Try to get five stars from Euro NCAP and see.
I never knew 64 kmph is slower than 56kmph. Which world do u live in?
This Honda is the true definition of tin milo. Should rename it to Honda Milo. It is a testament that major automotive corporations don’t actually care about people lives unless there are strict regulations which they need to comply in order for them to make colossal profit. Hipopocirit basah from the Japs & Frenchies.
do you know that these results(global ncap) are actually tested only frontal crash un r94 at 56kmh 40% odb? meaning it is worst than aseancap which tested at 64kmh 40% odb. plus,it also tested for r95 side impact in aseancap.
exora tested in ancap for frontal at higher speed at 64kmh 40% odb n side impact plus side pole and gaining 4 stars ancap(australasian ncap)?
They only test side impact in ASEAN NCAP as reference. No points awarded that will affect the score. Only frontal impact gives score to ASEAN NCAP rating atm (plus equipment level)… I forgot what year gonna include side impact results in ratings calculation… would be interesting to see if the Advance Bezza still can obtain 5* rating if side impact results are factored in…. heheh…
What? Exora do got 4 star ANCAP (Australia).
mindset kau buat malu orang malaysia jer kau nih…
But in Malaysia…honda is a premium brand…people look up at honda…even when they drive also they look up…so arrogant like that one…dont come near me…they seem to say…thats why nobody dare touch honda drivers…let alone say bad things about honda…
how dare you say Honda is no good. honda is best non national in car sales. second overall, even better than proton. all our cars have 6 airbags, all have 6 ABS and 6 ESC.
India as too many people and poor until not take care ofthemselves. Renault and Honda are doing good job to control the population. More zero star cars required in that region!
So based on ur logic, toyota is oso helping us to control ASEAN population, right?
and no car ever got faster than 10km/h on indian roads anyway.i imagine the mobilio if crashed onto tata nano,the driver would very likely walk off scott free where the nano will take most of the impact.so this car doesn’t need 5 stars
The crash test dummies in the first picture look like they’re dabbing. Or really tired.
Honda – not so good….
if Global ANCAP done on Proton cars, they get full ZERO “0” star with no remarks. it shows how much lie they say to people. DRB Dirty games continue,.
Even top brand car maker can make a lousy car. This is depends on customer demand and government policy……
The world should put a stop to these multiple NCAP standard. There should only be one NCAP standard across the world. When an accident occur, the impact force is same regardless of where in the world it happens. We have so many dubious safety standard that awards the vehicle with 5 stars when in fact they are not of that category. All this standards created just to help sell the vehicles & provide a false sense of safety to the buyer.
Its shows that reputable car manufacturer willing to reduce safety standards for 3rd World countries market for the sake of profit. Surprisingly, car owners are so oblivious and willing to condone to these reputable car manufacturers behaviour. The question is, are they doing the same to our car market? Are Malaysian being conned for having to buy substandard cars? Who are protecting the Malaysian consumers?
The answer is yes. Becoz MY pipu wud rather proudly adios in their jepunis junks than shamefully survive in a P1.
P1 actually wants to plotek MY consumers, but the pipu dunwan. So how?
