Now that the Perodua Axia has been revealed in full, ASEAN NCAP has finally released a crash test video of Malaysia’s most affordable car. The organisation released videos of the three other cars tested at the time last month, but did not provide one of the Axia as it was still under wraps.
The car tested was the base Standard E model, which features dual airbags and ISOFIX child seat anchors on the rear seats but no ABS. It scored a four-star rating (12.91 out of 16 points) for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and a four-star rating (71% compliance) in Child Occupant Protection (COP).
The Axia is the first car to make its market introduction complete with ASEAN NCAP results, and according to the agency it is also the most affordable car with a four-star rating for both AOP and COP.
