Why ASEAN NCAP’s score is important for choosing a safe family car?

In school, exam scores in any examination are indicative of a student’s performance.

Similarly, the score obtained through the New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) is crucial.

In the ASEAN NCAP, a modern car is evaluated through four main scopes, namely Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), Child Occupant Protection (COP), Safety Assist (SA), and Motorcycle Safety (MS).

This means that, in addition to evaluating the vehicle’s chassis safety aspects, the ASEAN NCAP also assesses the effectiveness of advanced safety assistance systems that are incorporated.

Higher scores indicate a more comprehensive level of safety offered by a manufacturer.

The scores issued by the ASEAN NCAP can serve as a guide for consumers to determine the value-for-money vehicle models.

Furthermore, nowadays buyers are increasingly conscious of considering the purchase of safer cars.

Did you know that one of the five-star ASEAN NCAP rated cars that is highly recommended for ownership is the Chery Omoda 5?

Since its launch in July 2023, the Omoda 5 has been the best-selling Chery model in the Malaysian market.

With a complete specifications package and affordable price (starting from RM108,800), the Chery Omoda 5 also offers a comprehensive list of safety features as standard for all variants.

Passive safety features such as ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Traction Control (TC), Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC), Hill Descent Control (HDC), and not forgetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) are included.

What’s more, both variants are equipped with Level 2 ADAS system, comprising the following functions such as Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSD), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keep Assist (LDP), and Traffic Jam Assist (TJA).

With the advanced safety features mentioned earlier, it’s no surprise that this popular SUV has successfully achieved a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating as recently announced.

Not only that, the Chery Omoda 5 also achieved the highest score in its segment, accumulating 88.64 points, covering the four assessment scopes:
• Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) – 36.77/40.00
• Child Occupant Protection (COP) – 17.36/20.00
• Safety Assist (SA) – 19.51/20.00
• Motorcycle Safety (MS) – 15.00/20.00.

The Chery Omoda 5 has shown outstanding performance in front and side impact tests to ensure the safety of adult and child occupants.

The advanced safety features in this SUV have also been proven to ensure the safety of other road users.

In addition to the ASEAN NCAP, the Chery Omoda 5 has also received a five-star rating from Euro NCAP and Australia NCAP. This demonstrates Chery’s commitment to producing a safer, reliable, and affordable vehicle for daily use.
