Other than its looks and updated engines, the stand-out feature of the new Proton Iriz is its raft of safety equipment. The new B-segment hatchback has up to six airbags (on the top-spec 1.6 Premium; lesser models have two), and Proton’s Vehicle Dynamic Control package (ABS, EBD, brake assist, traction control, electronic stability control and hill-hold assist) is standard across the range.
The day before its launch, the Iriz’s crash-worthiness was verified – it receiving a full five-star rating by ASEAN NCAP. The independent body has just released a video of the crash test, which you watch in full above.
While ASEAN NCAP only tests for frontal impacts, Proton itself had performed internal testing (above) to see how the Iriz would perform in side collisions – where its side and curtain airbags would come in very handy.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments generally praise the Proton Iriz's crash test performance, highlighting its strong safety features like dual airbags and Electronic Stability Control. Several commenters compare it favorably to older Proton models and other brands, emphasizing improvements in safety and build quality. There is some skepticism about the testing process and standards, with concerns about whether ASEAN NCAP tests are comprehensive or biased. A few off-topic remarks and debates about engine sourcing, local industry practices, and other car models are present but filtered as less relevant. Overall, the sentiment is positive, with many expressing pride in Proton's progress and hope that the Iriz's safety results will boost confidence among Malaysian consumers.
