The
Nissan Terra has passed the
New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) with flying colors as Nissan's midsize SUV offering for the ASEAN market achieved an
overall score of 83.17 points, making it
eligible to receive the highly-coveted 5-Star rating.
For the
Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) category, the Swift scored
44.70 points, with 'Good' protection to the driver and passenger's heads, necks, and upper legs in a frontal offset crash although the same test resulted in an 'Adequate' score on the side chest and lower legs, with the driver's chest earning a 'Marginal' score. For the
Child Occupant Protection (COP) category, the Terra has
20.79 points while its
Safety Assist Technologies (SATs) scored
17.69 points.
"(The)
Nissan Terra is
Nissan's eighth model that
underwent ASEAN NCAP assessment," the organization said in a statement. "The Terra model is
fitted with six airbags as standard for Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines. Whilst side and curtain airbags are available as option for the market in other countries.
Seatbelt Reminder System for frontal occupants and
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) are standard across variants. Nevertheless, ESC is offered as an option in Vietnam and the Philippines. In this model, Nissan is proud to equip its own safety technology called the
Intelligent Rear View Mirror as an optional fitment. This is the same with
Blind Spot Technology and
Lane Departure Warning. Under this assessment, Nissan Terra achieved an
overall score of 83.17 points and is awarded with
5-Star ASEAN NCAP rating."
"Congratulations to Nissan for producing another safer car,"
ASEAN NCAP Chairperson Dr. Siti Zaharah Ishak said in the same statement. "This is another positive impact that the NCAP initiative had made and we hope there will be continuous effort from all manufacturers to produce such cars for the ASEAN region with
high crashworthiness performance and
equip them with crash avoidance technologies that could save people's lives. It is also encouraging to see that in addition to the currently available life-saving technologies, Nissan also made the initiative to
produce its own safety technology to prevent collision with other road users. It will definitely give a competitive edge to other manufacturers to offer similar safety features to the consumers."
