The Perodua Traz was lastly launched this morning after years of ‘coming quickly’ rumours and the Toyota Yaris Cross twin enters the market with a five-star ASEAN NCAP ranking. Hours after the launch, the automotive security physique launched the total crash take a look at report card and video, which we’ll look into right here.

The Traz has been awarded the total 5 stars by ASEAN NCAP within the present 2021-2025 protocol. The B-segment SUV achieved a complete rating of 86.86 factors, with Grownup Occupant Safety (AOP) at 30.86 factors out of 32 (weighted rating 38.57), and Little one Occupant Safety at 43.89 factors out of 51 (weighted rating 17.21).

That is the second ASEAN NCAP report card for a Perodua to floor in a month, and in the event you keep in mind, the QV-E EV additionally scored the total 5 stars with a complete rating of 88.36 factors.

That’s larger than the Traz’s general ratinghowever in the event you look nearer, the Traz’s precise crash take a look at end result factors (AOP and COP) are barely larger than QV-E’s, however the EV’s good rating within the SA division clawed again some factors. Anyway, that is simply splitting hairs – each vehicles are very protected.

By the way in which, the MIROS PC3 lab in Melaka crash examined a Yaris Cross earlier this yr. The Indonesian-made Toyota twin of the Traz scored 29.28 factors out of 32 within the AOP, 44.17 factors out of 51 for COP, 17.74 factors out of 21 for SA and 9.76 factors out of 16 for MS – with an general rating of 83.02. Identical protocol and procedures, however the Traz scored larger. We truly noticed the wreckage in a current go to.

To recap, the Traz comes commonplace with six airbags and Perodua’s ASA security suite with pre-collision warning and brake (AEB, for pedestrians too), entrance departure alert and pedal misoperation management. There’s additionally lane departure warning/prevention and blind spot monitoring. Parking assists come within the type of rear cross site visitors alert and entrance/rear nook sensors.

Going from the RM76,100 X to the RM81,100 H (RM82k for the two-tone choice) will web you a 360-degree parking digital camera (reverse digital camera for the X) and dashcam. Nevertheless, the Traz doesn’t include adaptive cruise management (ACC) – and even common cruise management for that matter – which is why its proper steering spoke doesn’t have a D-pad.

The shortage of ACC is likely to be a little bit of a downer, particularly when the Ativa, Alza and Myvi (since its Nov 2021 facelift) have the function. However maybe Perodua prospects are a bit spoiled on the subject of security package – for context, within the newest Proton X50 faceliftyou’ll need to go for the RM101,800 Premium to get AEB, which comes with the total ADAS pack. Earlier than July 2025, ADAS was reserved for that SUV’s Flagship variant.
