Learn more about the safety assessments of the Honda Amaze, a popular sub 4-metre sedan in India. Global NCAP testing exposed a 2-star adult safety rating and a distressing 0-star child safety rating.
Key Highlights:
Honda Amaze, a popular sub 4-metre sedan in India, recently underwent crash testing by Global NCAP, revealing a 2-star safety rating for adult safety and a concerning 0-star rating for child safety.
In the evaluation of adult safety protection, the Honda Amaze achieved a score of 27.85 out of 34.00, resulting in a 2-star safety rating.
Both the driver's and passenger's heads and necks received good protection. Adequate protection was noted for the chests of both occupants, while knee protection was marginal. The tibias of the driver and passenger enjoyed good protection. The footwell area was stable, and the bodyshell demonstrated stability capable of withstanding further loadings.
While the head and pelvis received good protection, concerns arose regarding marginal chest protection and adequate protection for the abdomen.
This specific test was not performed due to the absence of side head protection options, with ESC also unavailable. The standard inclusion of Seat Belt Reminder (SBR) for the front driver's seat contributes to the overall 2-star rating for adult occupant protection.

Regrettably, the Honda Amaze faced significant shortcomings in child safety protection, scoring only 8.58 out of 49.00 points and thus receiving a 0-star safety rating.
Despite the utilisation of ISOFIX anchorages and top tethers for the forward-facing child seat for the 3-year-old, concerns were raised as the head made contact with the vehicle's interior during the frontal impact. Furthermore, the rearward-facing child seat for the 18-month-old, installed using adult seat belts, failed to prevent ejection risks, resulting in zero dynamic points in front and side tests.
While side impact protection was satisfactory, the absence of 3-point belts in all seating positions as standard and the failure of CRS installation in the rear centre position contributed to the dismal 0-star rating for child occupant protection.
"The South Africa spec 2nd Generation Amaze has already been tested as 4 star by GNCAP in 2019. The latest test basis new protocol shows that the total score is of 5 star level. However mainly due to requirement of certain equipment like Electronic Stability Control and Side Curtain Airbags resulted in lower ratings. At Honda, our unwavering commitment to safety is evident in the meticulous engineering of our products, integrating advanced active and passive safety technologies across our entire model range. We are dedicated to continuously work to enhance our vehicles on all parameters of Safety and improve them further at model changes timing."
