    “We are pleased that Honda is one the vehicle manufacturers that consistently ensuring their models to have both passive and active safety technologies. Apart from increasing the safety level for the vehicle occupants, Honda has also made the initiative to equip their SUVs with technologies that are able to avoid collisions with vulnerable road users such as motorcyclists. One such technology is the Autonomous Emergency Braking for Motorcycle in which the technology is able to detect the presence of the preceding motorcycle and subsequently avoid collision with it. We have seen Honda equip similar technology in the Civic model and now consumers who favor SUV as their family vehicle will also benefit from this life-saving technology,” ASEAN NCAP Secretary-General and Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) Director-General Dato’ Dr. Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim was quoted as saying.

    “In addition to the importance of protecting occupants from injury due to collision, ASEAN NCAP has also placed special emphasis on the safety of children inside vehicles. We have read cases before where children were accidentally left inside vehicles, which is something that we can indeed avoid. Hence, we are proud that Honda has also installed Child Presence Detection technology in the HR-V model as a standard equipment whilst the technology is available in the BR-V either as standard or optional fitment. By having this special technology, we are able to prevent incidences where children were accidentally left in the vehicles and consequently avert such unavoidable death,” he added.

     To note, the current ASEAN NCAP 2021-2025 assessment protocol is made up of four assessment domains: AOP (maximum overall points is 40 points), COP SA and MS (20 points each).

    The ASEAN NCAP first assessed the HR-V model in 2015 while the BR-V, in 2016.
