Toyota Vios 2018 ASEAN NCAP crash test

The award for continuous safety improvement is to recognise the full 5-star rating that ASEAN NCAP gave the current generation Toyota Vios and Rush achieved as compared to 4-stars for the previous generation models. The main contributor of this comes from new and enhanced safety features to the two cars.

The Toyota C-HR scored achieved Best Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) during the 2017-2018 test cycle. This is based on frontal and side crash tests conducted by ASEAN NCAP on vehicles which are fitted with crash test dummies that represent adult occupants.

Toyota is the only brand to have received the highest number of 5-Star vehicle safety rating in evaluations conducted by the ASEAN NCAP in 2017-2018.
