• The Honda Amaze received a 2-star rating for adult occupant protection, with a score of 27.85 out of 34.
• With a score of 8.58 out of 49 for child occupant protection, it received a 0-star safety rating.
• The low score was caused by safety feature omissions such as side curtain airbags and electronic stability control.

Recently, the Global NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) crashed-tested the Honda Amaze once more, and this time, it received inadequate safety ratings for both adult occupant protection (AOP) and child occupant protection (COP). The 2019 Global NCAP crash test results for the South African version of the subcompact Honda car show that it received a 4-star safety rating. On the other hand, the Amaze was tested using the most recent Global NCAP protocols this time. Let’s examine how well it performed in each test in more detail.

Adult Occupant Protection (27.85 points out of 34)

Impact in front (64 kmph)

The driver and co-driver of Honda‘s subcompact sedan showed “good” head and neck protection in the frontal impact crash test, while both occupants had “adequate” chest protection. But while their tibias demonstrated “good” protection, the driver’s and passenger’s knees only displayed “marginal” protection.

At 50 kmph, side impact

The protection received by the head and pelvis was rated as “good,” the chest as “marginal,” and the abdomen as “adequate.”
