The result release for ASEAN NCAP latest crash test results was held in conjunction with the opening of MIROS Gallery. The new MIROS Gallery was opened by the Honourable Datuk Seri Hj.

The new gallery is built with the main objective to showcase MIROS achievement in forming a safer automotive ecosystem in Malaysia. During the opening, ASEAN NCAP and MIROS also acknowledged several of our key research collaborators for the betterment of road safety.<\/p>\n

ASEAN NCAP Secretary-General, Ir. Dr. Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim said:<\/p>\n

\u201cASEAN NCAP recently organized a Blind Spot Technology development test on some of the popular models currently available in the market. This is according to our new rating system for 2017-2020. Based on this test, we have obtained significant results that the BST for Hyundai IONIQ Hybrid and Toyota C-HR have functioned according to ASEAN NCAP requirements for both the left and right side area of the vehicles in which they have detected the presence of the motorcycle rider in the blind spot zone. Hence, subsequent to the crash tests that we performed recently, this is the first time we are releasing the results for our BST development test.<\/p>\n

\u201cASEAN NCAP is proud that the models we released today achieved 5-Star rating. Other than significant crashworthiness structure of the car built to protect the vehicle occupants, the tested models are also equipped with advanced safety assist technologies that could prevent a crash from occurring or reduce the severity of the injury to the victims. We encourage consumers to utilize the NCAP safety rating in their decision making process when purchasing a vehicle for themselves and their family members.\u201d<\/p>\n
