ASEAN NCAP is proud that Honda is committed to equip the most prominent safety features and also collision-avoidance technologies that have proven to save lives across all its segments. The dedication of Honda in collaborating with road safety agencies such as MIROS in championing safety for road users in the ASEAN countries is evident in the launch of the new Honda Accord. MIROS and ASEAN NCAP aim to cultivate similar levels of dedication and commitment from other brands as we work towards the common goal of reducing road traffic deaths and injuries.
