The 2018 Toyota Vios has been awarded a five-star rating from the New Car Assessment Programme for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP). The result obtained by the new Thai-made Vios – for the Singapore market – is also applicable to its twin model, the Yaris Ativ, which has been developed specifically for the Thai market.
Evaluated under ASEAN NCAP’s 2017-2020 protocol, the Vios obtained an overall score of 81.63 points, accumulated from the following scores: 44.70 points for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), 21.66 points for Child Occupant Protection (COP) and 15.28 points for its Safety Assist Technologies (SAT) result.
It’s an improvement from the last time the model was evaluated, back in December 2012 as part of ASEAN NCAP’s first phase of crash testing. Then, the Vios received a four-star rating for its AOP and two-stars for its COP safety.
The Yaris Ativ has comparable occupant protection, the difference being that it comes with a smaller 1.2 litre engine to comply with Thailand’s eco-car policy. Safety kit on the Vios and Yaris Ativ include seven airbags – standard across all variants – as well as ESC, ABS and Isofix/top tether mounting points.
Aside from the Vios, ASEAN NCAP also officially released three other results for its fourth quarter 2017 series of crash tests at an announcement event held by MIROS today. The four vehicles evaluated form the second set of results obtained under the new 2017-2020 protocol.
Other models that were tested in this set were the 2018 Perodua Myvi as well as two light commercial vehicle models, the Chery Transcab and Suzuki Carry, which are not sold in our market.
The new Myvi’s results are already known, having been published last month – to recap, the car was awarded a five-star rating, applicable to all variants of the five-door hatch that are on sale. The automaker received its ASEAN NCAP five-star certificate at the MIROS event today.
It’s the nameplate’s third ASEAN NCAP assessment – it was first tested in 2013, where it received a three-star rating for both AOP and COP. Its second assessment was in 2014, and the result was an improved four-star rating for its AOP, although its COP remained unchanged.
As for the Chery Transcab and Suzuki Carry, which are available in several countries in the region, they’re the first light commercial vehicles to be evaluated by ASEAN NCAP. Under the 2017-2020 protocol, the Chery Transcab got a zero-star rating, with an overall score of 17.04 points.
Only a side impact assessment under the AOP category was carried out, the Transcab’s single cab (with no rear passenger compartment) precluding a COP test. Also, because the Transcab doesn’t offer any active safety features, no scores were given under the SAT category.
The Suzuki Carry model fared little better, scoring 17.14 points and also receiving a zero-star rating. It also scored points only for its AOP domain, but unlike the Transcab, the Carry only received points for its frontal offside test. Again, no COP and SAT scores were registered.
2018 Toyota Vios ASEAN NCAP crash test results
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
He he he. This Vios got 5 star rating in ASEAN ANCAP !! Where can ?! According to john/friends/toyo basher, this vios is Not save bcos it feel like sampan wo. So how can have 5 stars ??!
The Toyota Vios got 5 star. But don’t worry if you cannot afford the RM80k price. Just buy a Myvi. It uses the exact Toyota Vios engine and it only cost RM50k.
This is why Malaysians are all flocking to buy Vios.
For RM50k, you get a Toyota Vios in disguise plus many more safety features even the Toyota Vios does not have.
Amazing car. This is why within 3 weeks already 20,000 sold
The Myvi has wiped out its rival Iriz and also wiped out Persona and Saga too.
1 car can wipe out 3 cars at one go!
Engines for Myvi and Vios, are not same engine spec requirements, but from same family engine.. Do pls more research. Don’t trust 100% P2 Sales Person.. when he try to sell Bezza / Myvi..
Same engine, different ECU
Walawey… Vios so precious, so high RV. they go crash it GG.
perodua factory in sendayan supply engine for toyota. any NR series engine in Malaysia built by P2. vios and avanza-to lol
Your logic is strange.
flocking to buy Vios… so why you making up story about Myvi. lol.
Swap toyota enjin ganti suprima campro. Mantapp beb
Vios and Myvi engine are different. Vios uses 2NR-FE while Myvi uses 2NR-VE, which is the same as Avanza, only placed transversally because Myvi is a FWD.
Bashers says ASEANNCAP taboleh percaya wor…
Chery failed and got zero star. This further re-inforces Malaysians thoughts that China cars got no quality.
This is why, even the car Cherry also failed in Malaysia. Nearly all China cars cannot sell in Malaysia. Haval also susah want to sell in Malaysia
But Proton is confident the rakyat will accept the China made Boyue.
Marketing 101
suzuki also the same during the test… be unbiased, only pick up truck….
Eventually you be buying one one day
suzuki too. upss not made in china. marketing 101+1
Yup. Never knew Suzuki was a China brand. Pulled the wool over so many pipus eyes for decades yeah.
Toyota reliability is more than legendary. The Safest or nothing.
What’s the point of 5 star if it’s still using old outdated technology? Old gearbox, underpowered engine. Nowadays cars using direct injection or turbo. This old Toyota still using dinosaur technology. No wonder Toyota cars not selling well in Malaysia.
(Like) Persona.
(Dislike) Vios
hello john, the sales figures of Vios and Myvi speak for itself. We are not interested in your opinion. We see sales figures.
People trust Toyota. People trust Perodua!
Becos P2 Sales Person said, Myvi engine = Vios engine.. Both engines were different and that’s why Bezza and Myvi sales top for past few years..
even sales person spread lies but still people buy perodua. Poor proton. People trust liar more than a flopped company hahaha
U talking about ur toyota kah? Hahaha
We are not Americans, why call it 2018 Vios? 2018 Myvi?
If not use development code, please use Nth generation of the model to refer to it.
If we’re Americans , we will call it 2019 Vios and 2019 Myvi =P
It’s just silly American thing.
At the very least, it should be called 2017 Vios and 2017 myvi. Even that youtube video title it as 2017 myvi.
We are not following American convention, as they’d call them 2019 ;p
Using 2018 gives an easier, clearer indication that we’re referring to the new models – 2017 is coming to an end after all. Plus it’s what most people would refer to them as, and search online for.
Perhaps for Vios, as it seems it will be launched in 2018 in Malaysia.
But Myvi should rightfully referred as 2017, launched and on the road before the cut-off calendar period of 31st December 2017.
Personally, I’d refer them as 4th gen Vios (or it’s still XP150?) and Myvi 3rd gen or Myvi D20N.
Talk about American convention, i went on the internet and i found this, first result on google :
“Two recent examples are the 2016 Kia Sorento and the 2016 Mazda CX-9. While both all-new vehicles wear the same model-year designation, the two mid-size crossover SUVs were released at very different times. In Kia’s case, the Korean company began selling its new 2016 Sorento in January 2015.
Meanwhile, Mazda chose to release its all-new 2016 CX-9 in the middle of the 2016 calendar year—nearly a year and a half after its Kia competitor. Mazda spokesman Jacob Brown noted that several factors went into the company’s decision to label the late-release CX-9 a 2016 model and not a 2017, including Mazda’s desire to avoid potential consumer confusion that can come from selling a next-model-year vehicle in the current calendar year.”
Even Mazda agrees with me it’s confusing to call next-model-year in current calendar year.
Local Vios, local price $27k.
But Vios not sold locally in Nippon unlike City.
the previous Vios (model NCP93) was sold in Japan, known as Toyota Belta.
Why talk about dugong gen model? What about keli?
How can vios be 5 star when the A pillar get deformed.
VIOS, the Safest Car for You and Your Loved Ones
yup..Also the dummy head almost hit to the door panel.
Toyota: The Power of Moolahs
Honda crash even worst.
The test dummy obliterated.
BRV body made out of tissue paper.
Yes. Vios A pillar deformed, while Myvi wasn’t. Hmm, maybe due to Vios heavier weight… But that doesn’t look promising.
fuyoh! the chery tyre also fly out…. that’s part of a safety feature?
Dont get so excited guys, thats for S’pore spec cars. We’ll see either UMW bring equal spec for MY market.
(Like) New Toyota Vios

Be patriotik. Buy Preve
How to qualify as 5 stars if Myvi is only tested with model with 2 air bags. No testing video of Myvi with 6 airbags? Credibility of ASEAN NCAP is questionable.
Deswai when P1 gets 5star, basher says credibility is questionable, but when P2 oso gets 5star, basher says no doubt about it. How to brain this?
5 star 2 airbag – crash, minor scratch
5 star 6 airbag – crash, continue play mobile legend
both alive. the end
A pillar snapped also can pass kah
