The Proton Ertiga, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Hyundai Elantra are the latest vehicles to be tested by the New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP), with all models scoring a four-safety safety rating or higher.
Proton’s new MPV, which managed to score 12.39 from a possible 16 points in the adult occupant protection (AOP) test, was awarded a four-star safety rating for its efforts (the same as the Suzuki-branded model). The Suzuki-derived six-seater comes equipped with dual front airbags and ABS (with EBD) as standard on all three variants, but is devoid of any stability systems and a front passenger seat belt reminder.
In terms of child occupant protection (COP), the Ertiga obtained a 33% compliance (two-star rating), scoring just 16.37 from a possible 49 points. The model comes with Isofix child seat mounts (with top tether) on the second-row seats as standard on all variants.
Moving on, the Elantra tested by the safety assessment programme is the sixth-generation model (contrary to the photo shown in the report), which is slated to arrive in Malaysia next year. The model tested here comes equipped with a minimum of six airbags (or two certain variants), ABS, electronic stability control (ESC) and vehicle stability management (VSM).
Therefore, the model is the recipient of a five-star safety rating, scoring 14.73 from a possible 16 points in AOP, while COP was rated at 77% compliance. On Elantra variants not equipped with ESC and a front passenger seat belt reminder, the C-segment car is given a four-star rating instead.
Finally, the third-generation Pajero Sport did exceptionally well in AOP, scoring 15.29 out of a possible 16 points (five-star rating), while COP registered a 76% compliance (four-star rating). The Triton-based SUV has already been launched in Thailand and Indonesia, but has yet to make its debut here.
Like the Elantra, lower-end variants of the Pajero Sport not fitted with ESC will get a four-star rating instead. In any case, the new model represents a significant improvement over its predecessor, which only managed to nab a four-star rating (12.08 points) in AOP and a 40% compliance in COP.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Ertiga no ESC? Cheap Proton only thinking about money.
Do you believe *ASEAN* NCAP…? Perodua Bezza [AOP 15.38/16] ; Honda Civic [AOP 14.74/16] …
Even Preve is much safer than Civic…in real world and it is proven
Got proof to back your claims??
Preve only scored in the middle of the pack in ANCAP with many other cars in same segment with higher score and even some B segment cars had better score than Preve. Just go check the ANCAP scores if you doubt my words.
I trust more on IIHS, they more strict
got the small overlap test that not many cars pass it. Lots of Honda,Subaru pass the test with flying colours.
Hyundai not bad too
lol..dont compare like that…
“Will a large car and a small car perform the same in a collision if both scored the same stars in ASEAN NCAP?
Large and small car results cannot be taken as an apple-to-apple comparison. This is because the frontal offset test simulates a collision with another car of similar mass and in the same category, in which the mass is in the range of ±150kg (recommended range for comparison) and the height is about the same. In fact, the occupants of the heavier car or the car with higher structure tend to fare better than the occupants in lighter and lower car. On another note, it is not possible to simulate the influence of mass in a test against a fixed barrier.”
both Pajero n Ertiga (n oso Civic) crash test done in JARI lab test in Japan fyi. Elantra crash test done in Korea test lab at TS KATRI..See the test lab section. if bolehland called MIROS PC3, if Australia called CrashLab.
Even with rebadge, P1 still leads in safety.
Ori jujuki Er3 = 2 stars
Rebadge P1 Er3 = 4 stars
“In the Child Occupant Protection (COP), the B-segment
MPV achieved a rating of 2-Star by meeting 33% compliance due to seatbelt as child restraint system method in the
tested variant. Nevertheless, ISOFIX and top tether are available in all variants”
What does it mean? If using seatbelt to fasten child’s car seat only achieve 33% score, if using ISOFIX can get higher score?
test using Suzuki version that do not have ISOFIX. All P1 variant have ISOFIX. It does effect.
“In terms of child occupant protection (COP), the Ertiga obtained a 33% compliance (two-star rating), scoring just 16.37 from a possible 49 points.”
One of the most important safety aspect that people usually overlook.
u overlook this
In the Child Occupant Protecton (COP), the B segment MPV achieved a rating of 2 Star by meeting 33% compliance DUE TO SEAT BELT AS CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM METHOD IN TESTED VARIANT. The one actually tested is Suzuki variant that do not have ISOFIX. P1 variant all have ISOFIX.
I’m not referring to Proton’s version mate. I’m referring to whatever being tested and written in this article which is the Suzuki Ertiga.
This article is P1 Er3, mate. Not jujuki’s.
yes, definitely agree on this when proton promote this car as family car…but..the COP is really terrible..
That COP mark is jujuki veriant
don’t give a two hoots about asean ncap…
have to wait a few more years till it reaches Euronap or nhtsa level..then can see its value to vehicle buyers…
but then again there must be “trust” in compliance with safety standards, not just specially outkitted vehicles for testing…. still more needs to be done by asean nap
If Asean NCAP use the Euro one, even the top spec Camry sold here by UMW will become rubbish.
That pajero looks horribly ugly… Its like it looks better after the crash than before the crash!
Kenapa Proton tak dapat 5 star? Mana VSC yang sering digembar-gemburkan?
Rebadge from suzuki..mana boleh ubah spec asal mcm inspira jgk..perdana pn sama masih kekalkan spec asal honda accord
Look at the video of some crash test of the top 10 safest small cars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNj_V45skko&sns=em
