The Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP) has awarded the all-new Toyota Corolla Hatchback with a five-star safety rating, applicable to all petrol and hybrid versions sold in Australia and New Zealand.
Among the standard safety features on all variants of the Corolla hatch are seven airbags (front, side, curtain and driver’s knee), autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist and lane departure warning.
In the adult occupant protection category, the Corolla managed to score an impressive 36.60 out of 38 points (96%), with full points in the side impact and oblique pole tests (eight out of eight).
As for other individual tests, the model got 7.31 out of eight points in the frontal offset and 7.57 out of eight points in the full width frontal tests. ANCAP notes that the passenger compartment remained stable with ‘Good’ levels of protection for critical body areas of front passengers.
The autonomous emergency braking system also showed ‘Good’ performance in low-speed test scenarios typical of city driving, warranting a full score (four out of four) in AEB-City.
Moving on, the Corolla garnered 40.91 out of 49 points (83%) in child occupant protection, with a ‘Good’ score for protection offered to body regions of six- and 10-year-old dummies.
With many advance safety systems being fitted as standard, the hatchback scored well in the safety assist category with 9.90 out of 13 points (76%). Tests of the AEB system showed ‘Good’ performance in highway scenarios, with an ‘Adequate’ result given to lane support systems.
Finally, the vulnerable road user protection category, which analyses an impact with pedestrians, saw the Corolla receive 41.37 out of 48 points (86%). ANCAP praised the AEB system’s ability to detect pedestrians and cyclists in both daylight and night-time conditions. The car’s bonnet also provided mostly ‘Good’ or ‘Adequate’ protection to the head, with ‘Good’ results in upper and lower leg impacts.
“The safety improvements provided in this generation of the Corolla are a significant step forward. The Corolla is a trusted nameplate and Australia and New Zealand’s highest selling passenger car, so it is encouraging to see this affordable, volume-seller continue to achieve a high safety standard,” said ANCAP chief executive, James Goodwin.
“Mainstream models, like the Corolla, are now offering advanced speed assistance systems which can read road signs. These systems are the building blocks for automation, and convey the need for vehicle brands, regulators and infrastructure providers to work together to see safety and efficiency benefits realised,” he added.

Be informed, this is not the ASEAN Corolla model. Test results are not comparable nor transferable.
Most probably these latest safety tech offer will be omitted not available for asean nations variant except Singspore.
(Like) Toyota Corolla Hatchback and 2019 Geely Bin Rui
(Dislike) Outdated Honda Civic and Outdated new facelift Honda Civic
Different league lah dude. Nobody compare big names like Toyota and Honda with China brands like Geely.
Big names but no quality
I have evidence who say the exora absorber terus rosak. It is not definitely john,
Guys pls understand that even Honda Malaysia Sales is increasing, there is no point of Honda Malaysia Sales is increasing when Honda Service quality is lousy which Honda service people didn’t service the car properly or Honda service people don’t even bother to service the car at all. Moreover, Honda Customer Care quality is very terrible which Honda people didn’t greet the customer at all. Therefore, Honda Assembly Quality in Malaysia also very terrible which Honda assembly people installing all the fake parts for Honda models. This is means Malaysian is cheated by Honda Malaysia. This notice is very important to all the readers
IMO, UMWT need to bring in this model to liven up its current range of passenger cars which is quite boring.
Boring is an understatement. Only zombies prefer Toyotas.
Actually no need. UmW got chr. Camry vios and hilux can accommodate for most of the sales already. Bring this just extra work only.
This result can be trusted or not? They better make sure Toyota not sending a special model for testing and different model for selling.
Why u no trust ur Jepunis overlord? How dare u!
Bro I suggests that not to trust to Honda Malaysia cause even Honda Malaysia sales is increasing, there is no point of Honda Malaysia sales is increasing when Honda service is very terrible which Honda service people never service and fixed the car properly and never fixed and service the car at all. Honda customer care quality is very terrible where Honda people also never greet and show respect to the customer. Also, Honda assembly quality in Malaysia also very poor where Honda assembly people give all the fake parts for Honda models. Therefore, Honda design looks very outdated and Honda design looks like donkey design. This means that Malaysian is cheated by Honda Malaysia.
A bit difficult to cheat, because they have to keep it up for the real production units that they will sell. Because NCAP also tests cars that are on sale, bought from multiple dealers at random, by buyers who will not associate themselves with NCAP.
For cars that have not yet entered production but very close to launch, they will walk up to the manufacturing facility and take any of the cars at random in their warehouse. They will have some stocked before the launch next year to act as a buffer.
Almost all my car including previous car are Hatch Back. Why, bcoz it looks sporty & the boot open right up to the top for easy access/loading. I will trade in my current Altis for a more convenient HB anytime.
Komen Kat PT macam pakai Ferrari, malu betul
Forget about Hatchback when the current trend is SUV.
Sales of SUV is on the uptrend compare to three box saloon car worldwide including hatchback( which taking a DIP
nowadays
A HB is more stable. A SUV has better view for the driver but not as stable as a HB. I don’t need another SUV bcoz I already have a TUCSON.
Tucson and altis have nothing to shouts about
Still dont undertand how the HRV got a 5 star rating. The side impact test looked terrible.
It’s not about how it looks after a crash, it’s how well the occupants inside can survive the crash. The scores are based on the “injuries” that the dummies sustain. The lower the damage on the dummy, the higher the score.
Bila Altis Versi Baru nak masuk Malaysia?
i love to read the comment especially those who is anti toyota and honda here.
the most easy to test out is to go test drive and feel.
there is no the world best car just better car from yesterday.
