Toyota C-HR scores five-star ANCAP safety rating

Toyota C-HR scores five-star ANCAP safety rating

With the arrival of the much-awaited Toyota C-HR in Australia, the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) has released its safety report for the B-segment crossover. Impressively, the C-HR has received a five-star safety rating (based on Euro NCAP testing), which applies to all Australian and New Zealand variants of the model.

In the adult occupant protection (AOP) test, the C-HR managed to score 33.18 out of a possible 38 points, whereas child occupant protection (COP) saw a 77% compliance, with 38.03 out of a possible 49 points.

Meanwhile, the safety assist test saw a 68% compliance (8.18 out of a possible 12 points), with the C-HR scoring in all aspects – seat belt reminders, lane support system and autonomous emergency braking (AEB) – except for the speed assistance system.

Standard safety kit on the Australian-spec C-HR include seven airbags (dual frontal, side, curtain and driver’s knee). Additionally, AEB, lane support systems (LSS) and pre-crash systems are also fitted as standard on all variants. However, the former does not include pedestrian detection unlike on European-spec cars.

“The C-HR is an example of an affordable model which meets high levels of safety in all areas of assessment. As a new entrant in the competitive Compact SUV segment, top safety credentials are a must if it is to win consumer sales, and it is encouraging to see key safety features provided as standard,” said ANCAP CEO, James Goodwin.

In Australia, the C-HR gets a 1.2 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with D-4T direct injection and VVT-iW that outputs 114 hp from 5,200 to 5,600 rpm and 185 Nm between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm. The mill is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT, with all-wheel drive being offered as an option.

      Australians tell me this car damn cheap for them. They say it is like peanuts to buy this car, like their Camry at AUD29k. Even kuli work as washing plates also in Chinese restaurant go back home drive brand new Camry

      I keep my mouth shut. I don’t know what to say. Camry and CHR all luxury cars here. Only the kaya can afford.

      Hopefully they don’t charge RM150k when this car comes here.

      Car is AUD26k in Australia. McDonalds Worker earn AUD20 per hour. McDonalds worker can buy this car outright after few months of saving 100% his salary.

      Car in Malaysia is about RM150k for sure.. McDonalds worker earn RM4.50 per hour. Mcdonalds worker will take about 10 years before he can buy this car if he saves 100% his salary.

      Vios doesn’t even exist elsewhere in the world except south east Asia maybe coz S.E Asia is not a rich region and hence no rating whatsoever. Yaris is the one being sold in western countries.
