PETALING JAYA: The all-new CR-V has achieved a 5-Star rating with the overall score of 88.80 points in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), Child Occupant Protection (COP) and Safety Assist Technologies (SATs) in the new rating system of ASEAN New Car Assessment Programme for Southeast Asia countries (ASEAN NCAP).

The new CR-V was selected for rating and subsequently became the first model in the ASEAN region to obtain the result from the new ASEAN NCAP assessment.

This rating applies for all variants of the CR-V, which was launched in mid-July, and attests to Honda’s commitment to lead in safety for everyone.

The Award Ceremony was held at “The Inaugural ASEAN NCAP Result Release 2017-2020 Protocol" event at the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) in Kajang, Selangor.

The new rating system is a single rating system consisting of the three main domains of Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), Child Occupant Protection (COP) and Safety Assist Technologies (SATs); and the 5th Generation All-New CR-V scored 47.25
points for AOP, 22.84 points for COP and 18.71 points for SATs.

This is the second consecutive generation of CR-V that has won 5-Star rating since ASEAN NCAP was introduced in 2011.

In 2014, the 4th Generation CR-V achieved 5-Star rating in the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and 86% in the Child Occupant Protection (COP).

The newly launched CR-V offers unrivalled safety features such Honda Sensing and Honda LaneWatch (available for 1.5 TC-P 2WD variant only), which won in the “Safety Technology” car maker category in ASEAN NCAP Grand Prix Award in 2016 and 2014 respectively.

Additionally, both technologies were assessed under the new protocol and received points in the Safety Assist (SA) category.

The Honda Sensing safety suite consists of seven features, which are Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Low-Speed Follow (LSF), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) that will provide Driver’s Cruising Aid, Frontal Collision Deterrence and Side Collision Deterrence.

This sophisticated safety technology has been tested to be compatible with local road conditions and Malaysian circumstances, and is therefore being made available for the first time in the CR-V and in a Honda Malaysia model.

In addition to Honda SENSING, the All-New CR-V also comes with a comprehensive package of active and passive safety features such as the Six Airbags, Front Seatbelt 3-point ELR, Rear Seatbelts 3-point ELR x3, Rear Seat ISO Fix, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Agile Handling Assist (AHA), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Walk Away Auto Lock and Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, alongside the standard body structure with ACE and G-Force Control (G-CON) technology.
