Kajang, Malaysia, 17 December 2025 – Perodua has marked another major achievement in vehicle safety this year by earning its second ASEAN NCAP rating in 2025. The rating, granted by the New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP), was awarded to the all-new Perodua Traz. This makes the Traz the fourth model under the Perodua brand to be assessed against the challenging 2021–2025 ASEAN NCAP protocol, joining the Perodua Ativa, Perodua Alza (2022), and the most recent Perodua QV-E.
The SUV delivered an impressive performance in the latest assessment by successfully obtaining 5-Star ASEAN NCAP rating with an accumulated score of 86.86 points. The components of these scores were based on the four assessment categories comprising the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) category with 38.57 points, the Child Occupant Protection (COP) category with 17.21 points, the Safety Assist (SA) category with 18.57 points and the Motorcyclist Safety (MS) category with 12.50 points.
The all-new Perodua 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 across its variants. 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).
Perodua has successfully had two of its models assessed by ASEAN NCAP this year, concluding its commitment under the 2021–2025 assessment protocol. Following the debut of its electric vehicle model in early December, the brand has now launched the new Perodua Traz, providing consumers with an additional option for a new internal combustion engine vehicle.
ASEAN NCAP and MIROS commend Perodua’s strong commitment to equipping the newly released Traz with crucial safety technologies as standard features. We are pleased that the introduction of this new SUV expands the choices available to Malaysians, allowing them to select vehicles that best suit their family size and lifestyle. This launch further reinforces Perodua’s core objective: producing affordable vehicle models and enhancing accessible mobility for the Malaysian public. Congratulations again to Perodua for the excellent scores!
The current ASEAN NCAP 2021–2025 assessment protocol encompasses four assessment domains, with AOP accounting for 40.00 points of the overall score, and COP, SA, and MS each contributing 20.00 points. This year, 2025, marks the final year of the 2021–2025 assessment protocol. Assessment under the 2026–2030 protocol will commence in January 2026.
