The 2023 Perodua Axia has received a four-star rating from the New Car Assessment Programme for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP), ahead of its official launch in Malaysia that is set to take place February 14.
This is the second showing for the Axia in the ASEAN NCAP test, following the earlier result in 2014 when the outgoing generation first arrived on the scene, when it achieved a four-star rating in both adult occupant protection (AOP) and child occupant protection (COP) categories.
For the soon-to-be launched 2023 Axia, the variant tested in this instance was the 1.0L SE, which is the second variant from the top, after the AV. This comes from Malaysia for the Malaysian market, and the SE comes with two airbags as tested; the range-topping AV gets six, comprised of dual front, side and curtain units.
In terms of safety assistance systems, the ASEAN NCAP report for the 2023 Axia finds that lane departure warning, forward collision warning and rear cross-traffic alert are optionally available, while lane keeping assist is not available. ABS and stability control are standard on all variants, while seatbelt reminders for the driver, front passenger and rear passengers are also standard on all variants.
The 2023 Axia scored 25.65 points from a possible 32 points for adult occupant protection (AOP), 43.43 points from a possible 51 points for child occupant protection (COP), 16.50 points from a possible 21 points for safety assist and 7.00 points from a possible 16 points for motorcyclist safety.
Its AOP score was comprised of 14.96 in the frontal impact test, 6.69 points in the side impact test, and 4.00 points for head protection. Meanwhile, the COP score consisted of 24.00 points in the dynamic test, 9.00 points in the vehicle-based test, 10.43 points for the installation test and zero for child detection.
In the safety assist category, its score was comprised of 6.00 for effective braking and avoidance, 4.50 for seatbelt reminders, 3.00 for AEB and 3.00 for advanced SATs. For motorcyclist safety, this was comprised of 4.00 for blind spot detection, zero for rear visualisation, 1.00 for headlight, 2.00 for pedestrian and zero for the advanced MST test.
All in, the 2023 Perodua Axia achieved weighted scores of 32.06 in AOP, 17.03 in COP, 15.71 in safety assist and 8.75 in motorcyclist safety – five stars in all categories bar motorcyclist safety, which saw four – for a total weighted score of 73.55 points, which brings the upcoming Perodua model a four-star ASEAN NCAP rating.

Let’s push for the revaluation of Proton’s PIES under 2021-2025 protocol.
The RM50K Kelisa Kenari now a reborn USD$11,500 Gold Standard.
Congratulations to Perodua.
Finally the side pics! Now i can happily solve the puzzle! Kah3
So it’s overall score got drag down by the motorcyclist safety category?
Getting rear ended in these cars is a death sentence.
Better buy a 20y ear old BMW e46 safer if you value your life.
(since you’re going down this road)…. better buy a tank if u value your life…
I very- very agree…better buy a tank.
buy old Bimmer lepastu pening kepala nak maintain. Haiyooo
Wow…still 4-star after 8 years when it was first tested. How can they compete in overseas markets, except for Afghanistan, Pakistan and other worse third world countries? (even though it’s hard to imagine there being too many of those than what had been mentioned beforehand, assuming Afghans are all driving their own locally designed and engineered “Supercar”)
2023 turn for Axia terbang. Long live the king.
PT team gotta update article for wrong info
In any case, it’s a lot of safety for the money, and this being a new DNGA product, expect five stars in the ASEAN NCAP crash test.

Wah 4 start only clap clap clap good luck to future owner
Why only four stars? isnt it sit on a new platform?
same as alza and ativa but both get five stars
The platform itself does not define its safety. So much more goes into making a car safe for road use.

2021-2025 Asean NCAP updated Protocol Testing Result:
Hyundai Creta 5 stars @ 75.78points
Perodua AXIA 4 stars @ 73.55 points, short of 2 points to 5 star
Hyundai Stargazer MPV 4 stars @ 66.48 points
Elsewhere, BMW i4 EV sedan also 4 stars Euro NCAP.
Semua pun Total lost after crash @ only 64km/h.
AOP, COP, protection already 5 star,
Missing blind spot monitor for SE spec, so dropped to 4 star.
AV spec can achieve 5 star Asean NCAP.
All Perodua AXN has VSC TRC HillStartAssist now, simply pretty.
No more like previous low spec old model compact hatchback 1.5 4AT like Chevrolet Aveo, Suzuki Swift, Honda Jazz, VW Polo, Toyota Yaris dugong and its own Perodua Myvi 1.5Lagi Best.
Frankly said if want realistic safety, rm50k i go for iriz exec. Trusting more solid build and harder material rather than those fancy asa.
Iris is ok…to be more thrifty the Saga is a bigger and more capable car with starting price of 38K!!! why bother with a midget
In addition, my saga vvt have far more quieter cabin & ride than my Myvi. Now imagine how this axia will perform on the road. Sure can’t here music when cruising 120kmh, all you hear is wind noise hahaha
Iriz will go boom if P1 do something with their engine. That engine already can be ‘tukun’ for fish.
why is the rear dummy upside down huh?
Oh my just realize that too.
Seriously?
LoL.
that rear facing child seat dummy.
You should be grateful for Daihatsu.
I dont know, if it is in 2008 4 star ok. but now in 2023, a 4 star Asean NCAP, kind of let down. Dont you think?
Good Job Perodua….
Flush away all the negative comments…
Sharing resources, technology and collaboration is the future… A win win situation for company and customer..
Working towards improvement is the way forward…
Keep it up…
