The New Car Assessment Programme for South East Asia (ASEAN NCAP) has released the first crash test result under its new 2017 protocol, with the Honda CR-V bagging a five-star safety rating.
Under the new system, which accords a maximum of 50% for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), 25% for Child Occupant Protection (COP) and 25% for Safety Assist Technologies (SAT), the new family-oriented SUV gets 47.25% for AOP, 22.84% for COP and 18.71% for SAT, resulting in an overall score of 88.80%.
Looking in closer detail to its AOP score, the CR-V receives a frontal impact score of 14.76 points out of 16, and a full 16 points for side impact protection. It also scores 3.26 points out of four for Head Protection Technology (HPT), or curtain airbag coverage, so overall it gets 34.02 points out of a maximum of 36.
In terms of COP, the scores are 15.65 points out of 16 for frontal impact, a full eight points for side impact and 11.11 points out of 12 for ease of child seat installation, and 10 points out of 13 for a vehicle-based assessment for fitment, for a total score of 44.78 out of 49.
Lastly, the CR-V gets 13.47 points out of 18 for SAT, including a full eight points for Effective Braking and Avoidance (EBA) tech such as ABS and stability control (it gets both as standard across the region) and three points out of six for seat belt reminders (it only has them at the front).
It also receives 0.47 points out of two for blind spot monitoring (LaneWatch is available, but only on the passenger side) and a full two points for Advanced SATs such as autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keep assist and a driver attention monitor, all of which are available on the CR-V.
The car tested is a Thai-spec 2.4 EL model with seven seats. In Thailand and Malaysia, all CR-V variants come as standard with six airbags, ABS, stability control, front seat belt pre-tensioners and front seat belt reminders, with our top-of-the-line 1.5 Turbo Premium 2WD also getting the full suite of Honda Sensing driver assists, including autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Not bad, their COP is high. This is why Ertiga failed cause their COP is dangerous.
This is why people go for Japanese cars and don’t bother about Malaysian made so called “SUV”
Everything must condemn malaysian car. If you don’t like, you can go out.
Not Malaysian car. It is a rebadge.
Beli la CRV. Toksah tunggu Boyue
CRV takde 7 seater. Basher kata itu gagal kaw kaw. Tunggu Boyue 7 seater lagi baik.
Ertiga is not Japanese car for the Japanese. Or the world. Its a budget MPV for growing economy countries.
Errr..the Ertiga IS Japanese, it’s a rebadged Suzuki. What bull crap are you talking thru your ass this time??
waja also mitsubishi but always kaput
Jepunis engine problem, not waja fault
Forgip him bro. He dun even know the context of what he is bashing.
Good for Honda, they send test car for NCAP is the same car that they will be selling to the public
Dont be like cheater companies, they send higher spec test car to NCAP but in reality, they sell lesser spec car to the public.
The get caught and kantoi. Then try to cover up the story.
Good car, excellent dynamics. The worst service in Malaysia history. The lowest scores ever in rankings.
U mean like the BRV tissue boxes they been selling? But thats oso Honda wor…
u really spreading false info.. u know that NCAP crash test use lowest spec variant to be test.
You talking rubbish bro. They sent EVERY spec variant to be evaluated. That’s why you can see they state like bezza top spec 5 star NCAP, the other spec 4 star NCAP.
Not really. While they may test multiple variants, it depends on availability.
ASEANCAP may not test on lowest spec like KZM bro said, but they will grade the car variant upwards/downwards based on safety spec list.
I might be wrong bout lowest variant for test. The previous ASEAN NCAP rating do notes that without ESC/VSA/ESP car with 5 star point will downgrade to 4 star. old method SAT is not calculated in the point. they oni need to test 1 variant not every variant. The new one SAT is calculated into pointing. If bezza sent to crash test now all variant will get 4 star so no dual 4-5 star for same model. again oni 1 variant needed not every variant.
Geely Boyue > all
Proton > all
Asean NCAP 5 star in Malaysia > all
No matter what brand.
Wow this new CR-V is 100KG heavier than the last one which is 1560KG
Looks like the 100kg contributed to the 5 star rating.
Nice COP score, but i expected the SAT score to be higher.
So wat..every other car oso got 5 star la sohai!
Erm… Because the maximum you can get is five star, so you can’t get higher?
Iriz and Preve oso 5 star but fail wor
How does a 5star car fail? In what sense? U mean a 0 NCAP star Datsun can survive better than a Iriz?
At least Honda have more safety features than Perodua
Farrrrr better.
P1 better P2 in term of safety too ;D
Pls look at the price difference….
Honda should have more safety features because U are paying hard earn $$$ for it.
Nice score…..but the design of this CRV is getting uncle-ish by the day…..
I do not really believe in ASIA NCAP RESULTS
IF THIS COMES FROM NSHTA OR EURO NCAP RESULTS, THEN I WILL PAY ATTENTION AND BELIEVE ON IT.
So means u oso dun belip in whiteman aussie ANCAP huh?
Typical lousy Asian. Do not believe in own capabilities.
Since the vehicle is already on the road, presumably the rating is not a criteria-tool. My question though is what happens when the tests shows a weak rating which is below the official stand, if any.
Does it even matter? A ZERO NCAP star Datsun is still on roads and we even have pipu clamouring & demanding to bring it here.
I still cant accept that HM takes away 7 seater for CRV
