VIDEO: ASEAN NCAP latest crash tests – eight cars tested, five-star safety ratings for five cars

Over a month after it first published its latest crash test results, ASEAN NCAP has released the videos of the eight vehicles it tested, with five of them scoring five-star safety ratings.

These vehicles include the new Honda Civic, which scored 14.74 points out of a maximum of 16 for adult occupant protection (AOP), while its child occupant protection (COP) compliance percentage of 86% was enough for it to gain a four-star COP rating. Malaysian models get six airbags, stability control and a passenger seat belt reminder across the range, so all of them are eligible for the top rating.

Also gaining five stars were the Toyota Sienta (15.26 points in AOP, 74% COP compliance, four-star COP rating), the new Hyundai Elantra (14.73 points in AOP, 77% COP compliance, four-star COP rating) and the new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (15.26 points in AOP, 76% COP compliance, four-star COP rating).

The Thai-market Nissan NP300 Navara was retested as well, with a new driver’s knee airbag helping the pick-up truck to score 14.44 points in AOP, up from 12.34 points it obtained in March – this bumped the star count up from four to five. Child occupant protection (COP) also sees an improvement, with a 61% compliance instead of 37% before, making it eligible for a three-star safety rating for children.

A four-star AOP rating goes to the rest of the cars – the Toyota Calya (12.93 points in AOP, 73% COP compliance, four-star COP rating), Daihatsu Sigra (12.93 points in AOP, 46% COP compliance, two-star COP rating) and Honda Brio Amaze (12.88 points in AOP, 45% COP compliance, two-star COP rating). Sigra models not fitted with airbags get just a one-star AOP rating.

    This will only tell one thing, *kopi liar* NCAP, nobody will respect & trust. Bezza scored 15.38/16 AOP; better than all Japanese auto & Korean auto.

      Is it so hard to imagine that a Malaysian made car can achieve near full points for safety? The Bezza is a lighter car compared to most of the vehicles above thus less mass to decelerate, that might have contributed to the high marks. Please get your mindset out of the past and get with the times.

    Amazing how our Ertiga has only 2 star COP. This means in an accident, the parents will live but the children will either be badly injured or dead.

    I hope Proton ask Suzuki to put VSC in the Ertiga. Even Korean Hyundai Elantra also, which people laugh, got 4 star COP

    Please Proton, you are paying hundreds of millions in royalty to rebadge the Ertiga, the least Suzuki should give us is VSC

      u know that COP rating is low in suzuki ertiga because the test variant is not equip with ISOFIX.. Why suddenly say VSC? It is clearly u do not understand n sprouting nonsense. P1 Er3 is equip with ISOFIX fyi.

    U can have all the stars in the world but U can NEVER crash these cars as they do not stand a chance against the Solid concrete or Steel structure after looking at the Video. Thanks PT.org/Jonathan. I get it.

    Sienta scored better than civic in AOP? Wow. Looking at Toyota Alya, daihatsu sigra and honda brio somehow we can note there’s slight deformation on the front RH A pillar. And the fender for Toyota can block opening the front door as well, to rescue the driver. In case of fire, the delay for driver to get out as fast as possible can spell death

      that is because the wall simulate same mass car collide together. the heavier the bigger the impact. So u cant compare Sienta n Civic directly. u can check ANCAP n Euro-NCAP to compare.

    Proton can only dream to have 5-star rated cars. Poor Proton. Perodua cars are all certified 5-star already. Reliable, good RV and very safe too.
