ASEAN NCAP recently performed an audit test on the 2015 Hyundai i10 in order to check of any upgrades and consistency on the model’s safety performance upon its first crash test back in 2013.
The result shows that it did not do very well in the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) by only scoring 4.40 points, which is in the 1-Star category. In comparison to the crash test performed in 2013, the i10 receives a total score of 7.31 points, which is in 2-Star category in AOP.
Nevertheless, it fared well in the Child Occupant Protection (COP) with 79% compliance, in the range of 4-Star rating where the i10 is fitted with ISOFIX and top tether. Compared to the previous rating, this marks as a significant improvement over the previous i10 model where it scored 48% in COP.
Although the tested variant was equipped with dual frontal airbag, it is offered as optional package similar with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Seatbelt Reminder (SBR) for driver only is standard across variant while Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is not available.
