The New Car Assessment Programme for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) has tested the Daihatsu Xenia, and this MPV for the Indonesian market has been given a three-star rating for its overall score of 64.50 points. For comparison, its Perodua twin, the Alza scored a five-star rating from a score of 81.64 points.
The Xenia is the first model from the Daihatsu brand to be tested under the current 2021-2025 ASEAN NCAP assessment protocol, which consists of four categories – adult occupant protection (AOP), child occupant protection (COP), safety assist (SA) and motorcyclist safety (MS).
The variant of the Daihatsu Xenia tested was the 1.3 MT, which is specified with two airbags as tested; the highest variant available for the Indonesian market offers a total of six airbags. Standard equipment on the Indonesian-market Xenia includes ABS, a seatbelt reminder system (SBR) for the driver’s seat and pedestrian protection technology across all variants.
Active safety equipment in the Xenia also includes AEB City, AEB Inter-Urban, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, blind spot detection and electronic stability control (ESC); ESC is available in 1.3L CVT variants and all 1.5L variants in the Xenia range.
Crash protection-wise, the Xenia scored 26.10 out of a possible 32.00 points in the adult occupant protection (AOP) category, and 36.63 out of a possible 51.00 points in the child occupant protection (COP) category. Meanwhile, the Xenia scored 10.50 out of a possible 21.00 points in the safety assist (SA) category, and 6.00 out of a possible 16.00 points in the motorcyclist safety (MS) category.
Through points weighting adjustments, the 2023 Daihatsu Xenia for the Indonesian market scored 32.63 points for AOP, 14.67 points for COP, 10.00 points for SA and 7.50 points for MS to arrive at the aforementioned total of 64.50 points, thus collecting a three-star ASEAN NCAP rating.

This is the right thing to do.
All ASEAN NCAP should test for both Lowest and Highest Spec.
this should be mandatory for every on sale models, not just new launch model.
should re-test Honda brio Ayla Saga Axia no VSC tin kosong to see how many star. Possible to get like Kia Picanto 0-star Latin NCAP?

2 of the stars were “sponsored” by P2, its like paying youtube to be top on the hitlist.

4 stars is double as much as 2 stars.
Probably you didn’t aware that ASEAN NCAP always take the lowest variant for the crash tests (actually, it is the least safery-equipped variant). Previously, they introduce dual rating, which means a single car can have two different rating (e.g 4 star for lowest variant, 5 star for highest variant). But vehicle manufacturer tend to publish the rating for highest variant, thus, ASEAN NCAP decided to scrap the dual rating.
“ASEAN NCAP decided to scrap the dual rating”
comes from where?
I’m glad that you asked.

Aiyo..: better buy our 4 star Axia E.
Saga re-assessment under latest protocol without any ADAS will be 2 star only?
Saga at least has genuine stars. How many Toyota/Daihatsu/P2 Asean NCAP results are phony?
Oh yeah, just ignore all the crashes of the modern Saga where they end up just as destroyed as the “phony safety tests results cars” that you claimed of, with the occupants just as heavily injured/died as in those cars.
Celup some more lah, cave dwelling gremlin.
its amazing the bare-bone 22K axia got a 4-start ANCAP instead.
4 star was under 2012-2016 protocol
For Axia, the 4-star rating was given to the RM50,000 or RM38,000 variant?
It’s OK, can always change the result by manipulation and things still can sell. Learn best practice from Japan and Malaysia.

Scrap all vehicles above 20yrs
i support this idea.
old cars are a danger to other road users.
Easy to say scrap all vehicles above 20 years, but to implement it is another story. Not everyone can afford to change their old cars to newer/new cars.
Safer than last gen alza, when accident the whole rear axle detached out. But then is a very good decent city car, car build for transport not to crash. Dangerous speeding even u drive premium sport car also not safe, will catch fire when crash.
its funny because a RM22K axia tin-kosong got a 4-star ANCAP rating.
I like Malaysia not like neighbors pay high tax to drive for 5 years buy petrol in here and then drive around in circle around island. Is ok la we get 3 star still we have choice to pilih 5 star or no star. So don be jealous ok .
If I didn’t get it wrong, the comparison is like comparing apple to orange. To begin with, the Xenia here has 2 airbags, the Alza has 6 airbags. So by writing and putting in bold color in the early paragraph that alza received 5 stars can mislead readers who breeze thru the article with least thought. You can’t say “… Its Perodua twin….” when it’s not…
