The introduction of the all-new Toyota Veloz may have been highlighted by its new styling and features, but its improved safety shouldn’t be missed out on. This is backed by the ASEAN NCAP (New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries) as it awarded the new Japanese MPV with a 5-star safety rating.
2022 Toyota Veloz ASEAN NCAP Crash Test
Under the ASEAN NCAP crash test, the Toyota Veloz, which is the Avanza’s more premium model, took a beating to showcase its safety. It scored a total of 79.99 points out of a total of 100 under the new and stricter 2021-2025 protocol. Here is the list of safety categories including the MPV’s scores:
- Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) – 34.88 points
- Child Occupant Protection (COP) – 17.17 points
- Safety Assist (SAT) – 16.03 points
- Motorcyclists Safety (MS) – 11.92 points
According to ASEAN NCAP Secretary-General and Acting Chairman Dr. Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim, the MPV is one of the choice means of transport for families in the ASEAN region. To this end, the Toyota Veloz is noteworthy since it has proven itself to be capable of protecting “not only its occupants, but also other vulnerable road users.”

The said kit comprises a pre-collision system, lane departure alert, and automatic high-beams.

On the outside, the Veloz is an adventurous-looking MPV. Think of it along the lines of other SUV-like MPVs in the local market.
The front end gets a large honeycomb pattern grille, trim pieces for its LED headlamps and fog lamps, as well as a front air dam.
From the sides, one can see that it sits on a set of 17-inch alloy wheels. Also, a chrome-colored trim piece spans the entire length of the vehicle.
The rear then features a pair of LED taillights, as well as a rear air dam. Up top, this model also comes with roof rails, and a shark-fin antenna.

Inside, the Veloz can comfortably seat up to seven occupants. It also gets the same Long Sofa mode seat configuration that is present on the Toyota Avanza.
Other features found inside this model include a push-to-start button, a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel with tilt and telescopic adjustment, a digital gauge cluster, an automatic climate control system, as well as seats that are clad with a combination of fabric and leather.
The interior itself uses a two-tone, white and black color scheme. It also has plenty of metallic trim pieces, as well as soft-touch surfaces.

For safety, the Veloz gets a total of six airbags, anti-lock braking with electronic brakeforce distribution, ISOFIX child seat anchors, stability control, rear parking sensors, hill-start assist, as well as a 360-degree view camera.

The all-new 2024 Toyota Veloz uses the Daihatsu new Global Architecture platform. It shares this with the Avanza, as well as the all-new Raize.
For suspensions, it gets a MacPherson strut type for the front, and a torsion beam type for the rear.
Braking is then handled by disc brakes for all four wheels, as well as an electronic parking brake.

The 2024 Toyota Veloz has four available color options. There’s Platinum White Pearl Mica, Purplish Silver Mica Metallic, Dark Red Mica Metallic, and Black Metallic.
Compared to its competitors, the 2024 Toyota Veloz sits just about average when it comes to making horsepower and torque. The same goes when talking about interior space. Then again, the key strength of the Veloz is that its top-spec V variant already comes with the Toyota Safety Sense driver assist kit. And yes, most of its competitors lack an equivalent driver assist suite.
