The All New Honda CR-V managed to achieve the highest level of safety rating, namely five (5) stars from the ASEAN NCAP program where it managed to achieve a total score of 87.16 out of 100. The All New Honda CR-V managed to achieve a score of 77.07 out of 100 (94.93/120 for the total score ) where this car successfully passed a series of front and side crash tests as well as testing its safety features.

"The achievements achieved by the All New CR-V further demonstrate Honda's commitment to the safety of its users and realizing its vision to create a safer environment for drivers and all other road users."
The crash test carried out was a form of collaboration between ASEAN NCAP and the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI). In general, testing should be carried out after mass production of the model begins. The Frontal Offset Impact test was carried out using crash test dummies in the driver and front passenger seats and two child dummies on the Child Restraint System (CRS) in the rear seat.
The crash test speed was 64 km/h when hitting a crushable aluminum crash barrier. Apart from that, a Side Impact Test was also carried out, carried out by installing a crash test dummy in the driver's seat and two child dummies in the Child Restraint System (CRS) in the back seat. MDB (Moving Deformable Barrier) approaches the car being tested situationally. The test speed is 50 km/h.
This global SUV model from Honda is equipped with Honda SENSING technology, which is advanced technology to guide the driving system. This system uses a new front sensor camera and millimeter-wave radar located at the front of the car to provide awareness in driving conditions regarding conditions around vehicles such as cars, motorbikes and pedestrians. This technology also provides warnings and supports drivers in avoiding and reducing the risk of accidents*.
The two Honda SUV models are also equipped with various other high-level safety features such as; Honda LaneWatch, Multi-angle Rearview Camera, Walk Away Auto Lock, Driver Attention Monitor, 8 Airbags, Hill Descent Control, Front Passenger & Rear Seat Belt Reminder, and Rear Seat Reminder.
