Honda CR-V gets top safety rating
THE Honda CR-V, launched in the Philippines on Aug. 8, has received top marks for safety features from a regional group.
Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) said the ASEAN New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) has awarded the new CR-V a five-star safety rating, the first Honda model to score the grade under the group’s 2017-2020 assessment protocol, which urges car makers to follow the best safety practices in the region.
The CR-V scored 88.8 points out of a possible 100 in assessments that include a frontal offset impact test, side impact test, and evaluation of other safety features. HCPI said the model received “impressive scores” in occupant protection for both adults and children, as well as in the area of safety assist systems.
Its SX Diesel 9A/T AWD variant comes fitted with Honda’s advanced driving assist system called Honda SENSING, consisting of a millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera mounted on the windshield warns against a collision. Other CR-V variants are also equipped with Honda LaneWatch that displays an additional 80-degree view of the right side of the vehicle. HCPI said both devices received awards in the Safety Technology category in ASEAN NCAP.
