Perodua-Axia

The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) today released the latest round of test results at the ASEAN NCAP Grand Prix Awards in Kuching, Sarawak – four models make up the set for Q3 2014 testing, which is part of the agency's move towards a more frequent "test-and-publish" programme following the conclusion of its three-phase pilot project.

The four vehicles that underwent the latest round of crash test evaluation are the 2014 Honda City and 2014 Honda Jazz, the Tata Vista and the upcoming Perodua Axia. The result summary for the vehicles in both Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Child Occupant Protection (COP) is as follows:

  • Perodua Axia 1000-E built 2014, MY2014 – Adult: 4 stars, Child: 4 stars
  • Honda City SV built 2014, MY2014 – Adult: 5 stars (4 stars, no ESC), Child: 4 stars
  • Honda Jazz SV, built 2014, MY2014 – Adult: 5 stars (4 stars, no ESC), Child: 4 stars
  • Tata Vista GZX 1.4L built 2014, MY2014 – Adult: 3 stars, Child: 3 stars

The Tata Vista is produced in India and is only available in Indonesia and Myanmar. The agency says that this is the first time a car of Indian manufacturing origin has undergone ASEAN NCAP assessment.

Both Honda City and Jazz models that were tested were Thai-built models for the Thailand market. In the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), the Honda City broke the record score in ASEAN NCAP testing by accumulating 15.80 points, surpassing the previous high of 15.73 points obtained by the Ford Fiesta.

The Perodua Axia, meanwhile, has the honour of being the first car in ASEAN NCAP history to be launched into the market with ASEAN NCAP results, and is set to be the most affordable 4-star car (in both AOP & COP) in the ASEAN region, according to the agency.
