The Daihatsu Rocky has been awarded a five-star safety rating following crash testing carried out by the Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP). The compact SUV, which went on sale in Japan in November last year, scored 85.7 points out of 100 in the 2019 JNCAP collision safety performance evaluation.
The Rocky, which is also sold by Toyota as the Raize, is the second Daihatsu-produced vehicle to receive a five-star safety rating after the Boon, which managed the feat in 2016. The SUV is also set to become a Perodua model, codenamed the D55L.
The Rocky, which sits on the automaker’s Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform, received high scores in the full-wrap and offset frontal collision tests, and received a 100% rating (12 out of 12) on the 55 km/h side collision test. It also received full marks for its pedestrian leg protection under evaluation in the pedestrian safety category.
In Japan, range-topping models feature the automaker’s Smart Assist suite of driver assistance systems, including AEB with pedestrian detection, all-speed adaptive cruise control and front and rear Erroneous Start Prevention Function with braking control, along with a Smart Panorama Parking Assist system that provides steering assistance and visual and audible guidance when parking.
With the exception of its AEB pedestrian performance, the safety kit scored well under JNCAP testing – the Rocky obtained 31.7 out of 32 points in the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) test in the car-to-car segment, and its lane departure prevention performance received the full 16 marks in the category. It also aced the rear-view monitoring system and pedal misapplication prevention tests.
The JNCAP collision safety performance evaluation assesses and allocates a score for the damage reduction effects of a car’s equipment and functions, based on the occurrence characteristics of road traffic accidents in Japan. Since 2018, testing has centred on three evaluation segments (passenger protection, pedestrian protection and seatbelt reminder), and scores are finalised in a combined total of 100 points.

Am I the only one seeing an elephant coming out of that passenger airbag?
Ya, I think so to..
hahaha… me too!
Truly perodua game changer suv coming very soon.
Cannot trust P2 la. They will use a different car for NCAP testing and sell the real lower quality production units to customers, basically cheating them all. Don’t believe me, go try buy the Aruz G-spec car that was ASEAN NCAP tested.
I see anteater/aardvark
This is a great news! When Perodua rebadged this Game Changer and sell it here, I believe that the Game-Changing Perodua D55L will sell like hotcakes as Perodua D55L is already proven to be a safe car with 5 stars rating. Because of this, upcoming Proton X50 will have a hard time competing with D55L
govt shld remove tax for imported foreign cars. let P1 and P2 fight with foreign brands, esp P1 since it claims it can now fight Honda and Toyota.
I believe you. Don’t need to comment like a desperate person. As a potential customer, let me decide which is better for my needs. I don’t need desperado ..
Yes will sure be hotcake selling by p2.
Welldone p2.
Habislah lingkup and more habislah lingkup proton this time.
I hope Perodua fanboys don’t come here and say all this tech will be in their Perodua rebadged car. Better Perodua close down as it isn’t a real national carmaker just merely a rebadger.
ha ha ha ha
You wrong ROTI kok, the D55L only compete the X30 and X50 rivals are HRV, C-HR…
Furthermore D55L never test on the road, the ride and quality sure far from JPN version.
R u the real roti john? in march, one of the trolls confessed and said he wouldnt come back. i thought he was u since he claimed to type all those ‘game changing’ comments. dont mind me im just curious
When masuk perodua d55l?
Take my money!
Come Malaysia become 3 Star car due to omission of all safety features
lets see how many Stars it will score under ASEAN NCAP once it comes here, assuming the same safety specs…
(Like) D55L & X50
