Honda’s lineup & NCAP
The Global NCAP tests began in 2014, and since then, they have conducted over 50 tests, but there are only one or two Honda cars tested so far. Before testing these two, we only had the Honda Mobilio that scored three stars with two airbags equipped.

We hope to see the newer models such as the WR-V and the fifth generation City to be tested soon. A good NCAP rating is a must-have with the rising focus on safety while buying a new car.
A further update is expected in July 2022, which might also factor ESC in the crash tests along with side impact & pedestrian protection tests. What do you think about these results?
