Is it really safe? 2024 Toyota Vios gets 5-star ASEAN NCAP crash test rating

Here are the crash test results for the 2024 Toyota Vios ffrom the ASEAN NCAP.

Despite issues surrounding the 2024 Toyota Vios AC100 about its previous safety testing, the popular Japanese sedan still got a five-star rating from the ASEAN New Car Assessment Programme (ASEAN NCAP). 

On April 2023, the Vios was caught in a crash-test scandal, where the vehicle tested where sample units were found to have had a notch in their door sidings that would minimize the risk during side impact testing. 

However, this would break with a sharp edge that could cause injury to the occupant when the side airbag is deployed. 

However, Toyota quickly resolved this issue with company chair Akio Toyoda personally apologizing for the problem. Since then, the Japanese automaker has not decided to recall these units as they have already been confirmed to pass the UN-R95 side-impact test.

The ASEAN NCAP results

The 2024 Toyota Vios was tested under the 2021 to 2025 testing protocols of the ASEAN NCAP, which are the strictest yet.

Instead of the typical three-category testing, the new protocols add a fourth for motorcyclist safety. The new Vios scored:

  • 35.25 out of 40 in Adult Occupant Protection
  • 16.64 out of 20 in Child Occupant Protection
  • 16.08 out of 20 in Safety Assist
  • 10.73 out of 20 in Motorcyclist Safety

With a total score of 78.70, the Vios is eligible for a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating. 

It shows that despite initial worries about the vehicle’s side impact protection, it is still one of the safest vehicles available today.

There is no word yet as to when the 2024 Toyota Vios AC100 will officially enter the Philippine market. But some reports hint at a launch in the fourth quarter of 2023 or the first quarter of 2024.

It's now a waiting game to see what Toyota Motor Philippines will do to bring the all-new Vios into the country, especially with its commitments under the Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy program.

Aside from the track testing, Nissan also h
