KAJANG: The new Perodua Traz B-segment SUV (sport utility vehicle) has obtained a 5-star Asean NCAP safety rating with an accumulated score of 86.86 points.
The Traz is also the fourth Perodua model to be assessed against the challenging 2021–2025 Asean NCAP protocol, joining the Ativa, Alza (2022), and the all-electric QV-E.
The Traz's scores were based on the four assessment categories comprising Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) with 38.57 points, Child Occupant Protection (COP) with 17.21 points, Safety Assist (SA) with 18.57 points and Motorcyclist Safety (MS) with 12.50 points.
The Traz has six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Seatbelt Reminder System (SBR) for both frontal and rear seat occupants, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) City, AEB Inter-Urban, AEB Pedestrian and ISOFIX for child safety seats as standard equipment.
The SUV is also equipped with standard features including Blind Spot Detection (BSD) for both the driver- and front passenger side of the vehicle, Pedestrian Protection (PP), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), and Lane Keep Assist (LKA).
Both Asean NCAP and MIROS commended Perodua's strong commitment to equipping the new Traz with crucial safety technologies as standard features.
"We are pleased that the introduction of this new SUV expands the choices available to Malaysians," said Asean NCAP.
The current Asean NCAP 2021–2025 assessment protocol encompasses four assessment domains, with AOP accounting for 40 points of the overall score, and COP, SA, and MS each contributing 20 points.
This year marks the final year of the 2021–2025 assessment protocol.
