Suzuki S-Cross scores five-star ASEAN NCAP rating

suzuki-s-cross-asean-ncap

The Suzuki S-Cross has bagged a five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating under its Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) category while a four-star score has been awarded under the Child Occupant Protection (COP) category. The results, published as part of the firm’s 2015 Q2 test, sees the S-Cross receive an AOP score of 15.48 – the maximum is 16 – and a COP compliance rate of 81%.

For the test, a Malaysian-spec, Hungary-assembled Suzuki S-Cross 1.6L CVT was utilised – the first vehicle tested by ASEAN NCAP that is produced in Europe. Also, as a prerequisite for cars with four-star ratings and above, the S-Cross was subjected to a UN R95 side impact test, in which the S-Cross scored a ‘Pass’ rating.

The fitment of electronic stability control (ESC), Isofix and top tether points as standard has helped to ensure that the Suzuki S-Cross remains at the top of its class in terms of safety rating. Second place is occupied by the Honda CR-V with an AOP score of 15.46 (five-star) and a four-star COP rating with 86% compliance.

    ASEANCAP doesn’t have roof test, small overlap test, side test and rear tests, thus you see Proton junk can get 5 stars also.

    6 – 10 stars needed for further rating.

        • No it’s not. The Avanza can be cheaper.

          Cheapest Toyota or not, that’s no excuse to stinge on safety. It’s still a good RM70-90k. And with safety features that haven’t changed in a decade. Sure, Proton may not build good cars. But they’re beginning to take safety a lot more seriously than Toyota.

          Mind you, even one of the most expensive models, the Camry, doesn’t even have VSC as standard.

          I’m taking my money to Honda. Maybe then I can do a proper apple to apple comparison and it won’t even change the fact that Toyota is a joke these days.
