The Honda BR-V SUV is the latest released model from Honda crash tested by ASEAN NCAP.
The BR-V SUV, which comes in seven- and five-seater configurations are tested in different variants. ESC and SBR for both front occupants are available in higher variants while ISOFIX and top tether are standard across variants.
Due to ASEAN NCAP 5-Star prerequisite, the BR-V is eligible for dual rating; The BR-V gets 4-Star AOP for variants without ESC and SBR for both front occupants, whilst the BR-V variants equipped with such technologies received a 5-Star AOP rating. As for the COP category, BR-V achieved a 4-Star rating with 72% compliance.
Below is the full results of the BR-V’s crash test:
In comparison, Honda BR-V AOP scores higher than many competitors, Subaru XV with AOP score 14.31 points (5-Star), Mitsubishi Pajero Sport with AOP 12. 08 (4-Star), Toyota Rush with AOP score at 12.47 points (4-Star) and GWM Haval M4 at 9.64 points (3-Star). Nevertheless, for the COP category, Toyota Rush and Haval M4 performed better than the BR-V with 82% and 79%, respectively, with all three SUVs compliance score within the 4-Star rating.
