Honda’s HR-V and Jazz have received the full five stars in the latest round of Euro NCAP crash tests. Testing regulations get more stringent by the year, so the Japanese carmaker is right to be proud of the endorsement. Both models join the existing five-star rated European Civic and CR-V.
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.
Full stars for the Jazz means it is only the second supermini to achieve a five-star rating so far this year. Both Jazz and the HR-V feature Honda’s City-Brake Active system (CTBA) fitted as standard across the range. By using laser technology, the CTBA system scans the road ahead and automatically applies the brakes if a low speed collision is likely.
The mid and high grades on both models feature Honda’s Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS), a suite of active-safety technologies including Forward Collision Warning, Traffic Sign Recognition System, Intelligent Speed Limiter, Lane Departure Warning and High-beam Support System, things that not too long ago were exclusive to luxury models.
In September, Mazda’s CX-3, a rival to the HR-V, earned four stars from Euro NCAP. The safety body then hinted that what really cost Mazda the max five stars is the lack of standard autonomous emergency braking. AEB is offered as an option on the CX-3, but uptake is expected to be low. Check out the detailed results in the embedded PDFs below.
Closer to home, the Malaysian-market HR-V and Jazz, both locally assembled in Melaka, obtained their full five stars in July 2015 and August 2014 respectively. The compact SUV scored 15.21 out of 16 points in adult occupant protection (AOP), and four stars (73%) in child occupant protection (COP). The Jazz with six airbags did 15.58 in AOP and four stars (71%) in COP.

Good Job Honda, for making safe cars.
Where Toyota Rush & Sam Loo ? hahaha
still promoting Rush is a good car?
I think you are the one who beg me to take your one year old junk kimchi at RM 17k. Work hard to buy sushi
Toyota vios get how many stars?
Malaysian J spec VIOS might get 2 stars.
In Malaysian market, people doesnt care about star.. what people want is reliable engine & good RV.. Look Proton Iriz for example, how many Premium variant malaysian buy? Still buy standard & executive variant just only 2 airbag & rated as 4 stars! Buy Toyota better!
Shows how low our ASEAN NCAP standards are. 5-star rating is achievable even with only 2 airbags and no automatic braking/collision warning. If we adopt Euro standards 90% of our new cars will only score 4 stars or lower.
Proton might be 5 stars here, but no way can they get more than 3 or 4 stars there. Perodua? No need to say. Might even fail global standards with no ABS on many of their cars.
Buck up, ASEAN NCAP! Don’t give out 5 stars to any Tom, Dick and Harry manufacturer. That’ll keep them satisfied and tell our local consumers “we give you 2 airbags but we achieved a FIVE STAR RATING”.
asean ncap is a start for manufacturer in this region. you need to start slow, then build up people awareness on importance of buying car with good safety feature, and then tighten the regulation. if you implement euro ncap here, nobody will bother as all car will have low rating. the goal to build awareness will not be achieve
that’s where i differ from your opinion. we should start with implementing euroncap standards here. there’s no cutting corners when it comes to safety and its rating. let it be that most cars in m’sia will have 2-3 stars. at least, we consumers know what kind of safety quality we are given here. there’s still distinction between the models as some imported models or CKD ones built with same safety spec as in europe will get 4 or maybe 5 stars. the local strip downs should just be 3 stars or 2 stars.
there is no room to play politics when it comes to safety. if your car is not safe, you are entitled a low rating. you do not get a 5 star rating just because your car is safer than the rest in m’sia but no where close to a europe model.
Same as Iriz.
You are comparing ASEAN NCAP with EURO NCAP. Totally different standards here. Jazz and City has higher scores in ANCAP than Preve/Suprima. Not to mention Iriz ASEAN NCAP score is lower than Jazz so it is not the same man. The only Proton car with EURO NCAP rating is Waja (2002) with only 3 stars and 1 star for pedestrian safety.
Preve got 5 star Australasia NCAP
Check the score dude. Jazz scored HIGHER than Preve in front, side impacts in total which means it is SAFER. Check the ASEAN NCAP score and compare.
ASEAN NCAP score:
Jazz: 15.58/16, 71% child
Preve: 15.38/16, 67% child
Australian NCAP score:
Jazz: 36.58/37
Preve: 34.25/37
Just because it is both 5 stars does not mean its the same. Jazz got a near perfect score on both ASEAN and Australian NCAP PLUS Euro NCAP. Preve scored at the bottom tier of the 5 star category and i am sure its gonna get only 3-4 stars in Euro NCAP.
@Kancil Hybrid
Well facts are facts. If you have something better to refute against it then by all means please give some proper hard facts. Jazz is SAFER than Preve which is the safest car by Proton and Iriz scored even lower than Preve in ASEAN NCAP. So regardless of your explanation Proton sure as hell ain’t gonna rebadge C63 ever.
Regardless of your explanation, by looking at your name, I can concluded that for you even a Proton-badged C63 AMG is worse than your average ride.
Very impressive Honda!
side pole test: the car is placed at an angle, not as straight as before?
