The video above shows the Mazda CX-3 undergoing Euro NCAP’s barrage of tests, necessary for it to earn the stars it needs to go on sale in Europe.
Tests include frontal impact at 64 km/h, with 40% of the width of the car striking a deformable barrier. In the full width test, 100% of the width of the car the car goes into a rigid barrier at 50 km/h. In the side impact test, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver’s door at 50 km/h. Lastly, the car is propelled sideways at 32 km/h into a rigid pole in the pole test.
The compact SUV emerges with four out of five stars, with a decent 85% score in Adult Occupant and 79% in Child Occupant. Euro NCAP also rates pedestrian safety and the car’s safety systems, and the Mazda scored 84% and 64% respectively. The safety body hinted that what really cost the CX-3 the max five stars is the lack of autonomous emergency braking system as standard. AEB is offered as an option, but uptake is expected to be low.
The CX-3 scored maximum points in many tests, but Euro NCAP also noted that readings of chest compression in the rear passenger dummy indicated weak protection of that body region, despite standard-fit seatbelt pre-tensioners and load-limiters in the rear seats. Separately, rear seat occupants get poor whiplash protection.
The CX-3 is coming soon to Malaysia, and a CBU Japan 2.0 litre variant could go for around RM120k.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
As I always said, you will never go wrong with sushi cars. However, if you are looking for a SUV can get our Rush with proven reliability, RV and much cheaper price.
Buy Toyota better, good RV.
If any of you somehow choses to buy rush instead of others suv then i pitty you but unfortunately there are some people fallen to this toyota trap n buy this rush crap
Toyota car is a shit car ever.. They made the car to earn profit not for safety.. Big body and have small engine.
R u kiďing me..? Jumping like frog, Avanza on steroids. Not fit to compare with cx3
Tengok.. Mazda nih pon dpt 4 star je NCAP.. Proton dapat 5 star lagi hebat lagi murah buatan Malaysia.. Proton FTW!!!
Adik. Proton NCAP tu dari Asean. CX3 ni dari Europe. Proton langsung takde Euro NCAP star. Buka mata!
Takde Euro, ada Australian punya, 5 star jugak.
Buka mata!
Where got 5 star… Buka mata!
ni euro punya bang…
I would rather ride in EuroNCAP 4 star than ASEANNCAP 6-star (if only 6 star available).. haha.
I bet Asean NCAP will have to give at least 8-star to match current high standard of EuroNCAP..
what’s the point testing impact at 50/64 km/h only? at least 80km/h and above to be practically meaningful…
At 100km/h, I guess the car and dummy would be crushed and no more study can be done. This NCAP is only a guide. You still need to drive safe even your car is 5-star NCAP. Of course your survival rate would better, I hope.
This is international standard, if not satisfy, ask NCAP employ you as testing engineer!
No, it should be 180 km/h, only in Malaysia since our country got too many ‘haram jadah’ drivers that drive like ‘bangsat’ (be it cheap old cars or flashy cars or 4WD pick-up truck/SUV, those haram jadah drivers drive as it’s their father’s road). No wonder on the road deaths in Malaysia are skyrocketing eventhough those active and passive safety counts are increasing these days in modern cars (it still not applicable for most Toyotaik and Berukdua cheapo cars).
kerb weight 1231kg and 2.0 litre engine. This CX3 could be as fast as CX-5 2.5 version
Only 4 stars? not good enough for skyactive range when Mazda 3, Mazda 6 and CX-5 can score 5 stars in Euro NCAP..
Bro bro..this year i think different already.. Need auto brake for 5 star safety..
Only 4 stars ? Then the car safety is rubbish..better buy Korean or high end China cost cheaper but safer.
Does it mean cx3 is not very safe for rear passengers?
CX-3 just come to Malaysia already la! Already Q4 la now
At least it get a star
