The all-new Honda HR-V achieved a total weighted score of 81.38 points in the ASEAN NCAP’s vehicle assessment. Honda’s five-seater crossover scored 28 out of 32 in Adult Occupancy Protection (AOP), which translates to a weighted score of 35 points. When it comes to Child Occupant Protection (COP), the Honda HR-V scored 45.43 out of 51, yielding a weighted score of 17.81 points.
In the Safety Assist (SA) category, the HR-V posted 19.50 out of 21, getting a weighted score of 18.57. Meanwhile, it scored 8 out of 16 in the Motorcyclist Safety (MS) category, which translates to a weighted score of 10 points.
By achieving a weighted score of 81.38 points, the all-new Honda HR-V is eligible to be given a five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating.
It is worth noting that the Honda HR-V tested by the ASEAN NCAP is equipped with six airbags. To put things in perspective, the Honda HR-V variants launched in the Philippines last April 2022 are equipped with four airbags. However, the recently launched Honda HR-V RS Turbo at the 2022 Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) comes with six airbags.
Aside from the HR-V, the next-generation Honda BR-V also managed to get a five-star safety rating from the ASEAN NCAP.

The next-gen seven-seater Honda BR-V achieved a weighted score of 77.02 points, making it eligible to be given a five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating. Of note, the Honda BR-V tested by the ASEAN NCAP comes with six airbags.
The next-gen BR-V has yet to make its Philippine debut. Although, Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) has already previewed the all-new BR-V at the recently concluded PIMS. HCPI has yet to share further details as to when will be the actual local launch of the BR-V.
