Nissan Teana gets 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating

The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) has released its latest Q4 testing result – the Nissan Teana L33 has obtained an ASEAN NCAP five-star safety rating in both Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Child Occupant Protection (COP) segments.

The evaluator was a Thai-assembled 2.0 XL CVT model for the Thai, Malaysian and Singaporean markets – locally, the variant sits between the base 2.0 XE and top-of-the-range 2.5 XV in the Malaysian Teana lineup. The car scored a full 16 points in AOP testing, and also obtained a UN R95 side impact test pass rating.

The agency added that the Teana – which has Isofix and top tether available as standard fit in all ASEAN variants – was the first car to achieve a five-star COP rating in ASEAN NCAP testing, with 88% compliance, scoring 43 out of a possible 49 points.

The Teana is the third Nissan vehicle to undergo ASEAN NCAP assessment – the Nissan March received a four-star AOP rating (COP, 48% or two-star) in November 2012, while the Nissan Almera obtained a four-star AOP rating (COP, 52% or three-star) rating in July 2013. Prior to September this year, all COP results were stated only in percentage terms.

      >implying you can’t get all those with conti cars.

      don’t care about RV, just buy the car you want. asian or european cars, they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

      conti car + p1 = good handling, for those who love driving and don’t mind their slight reliability issues.
      sushi car + p2 = good reliability, for those who just want to get from point A to point B. average handling.

        You can check out: http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/toyota/camry/2014

        By the way, ASEAN NCAP doesn’t have:
        1. Side impact test
        2. Small Overlap Test
        3. Roof strength test

        You won’t go wrong with sushi cars.

          That would all be fine, IF THE CAMRY IN MALAYSIA IS THE SAME AS THE ONE IN THE US!

          If you would send the Malaysian Camry to IIHS, it would be laughed at, and get a very poor rating.

    It is good, but it is not good enough if it doesn’t have the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) that should be standard on all cars.

    Tan Chong seems to be slow in introducing all the active safety features that you would find in Nissan cars in the US.

      All across Teana from the basic 2.0 to 2.5L are fitted with ESC + 6 air-bags…

  • With Good Safety feature and sell same price with accord and Camry will fail the product.

    I hardly see any Slyphy and teana on the road.

    Marketing failure for all the new model launched during 2014 except the 2012 budget Almera selling at below City and Vios price.

      Only cars with poor safety sell well in Malaysia. Viva, Myvi, Vios, Almera, Camry, Avanza, …

    Was this car a randomly selected car or a car that Nissan was able to track from start production to delivery?

    I am proud of using the new Teana since last 4 months. Seat comfortable, full safety, very good NVH. I don’t mind to compromise a bit on the less gadget compare K5, Accord, Camry but I enjoy the comfort and confidence when driving in it. I don’t mind the “low RV” as i am using it and not to buy it for selling!
