Hyundai had launched the new Creta facelift and the Stargazer MPV in the Indonesian market earlier this year. Both models were recently assessed by the New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP). The Creta and Stargazer were the first of Hyundai’s SUV and MPV models to be tested by ASEAN NCAP, and are tested under the new ASEAN NCAP 2021-2025 assessment protocol.
The new Hyundai Creta has been awarded with 5 star crash test rating by ASEAN NCAP. On the other hand, the Stargazer scored 4 stars in the latest ASEAN NCAP assessment protocol. As a reminder, the model on sale in our market scored 3 stars in Global NCAP. The new Hyundai Creta has scored 34.72 points for the adult protection, 15.56 points for child occupant protection and 14.08 points for safety assist and 11.42 points for Motorcyclist safety.
The Creta used for the ASEAN NCAP test is fitted with 2 airbags; however, the higher variants of the SUV are also fitted with 6 airbags. The SUV gets electronic stability control (ESC), anti-lock braking system (ABS), seatbelt reminder system, ISOFIX installation for child seats and pedestrian protection technology.
Adding to it, the new Creta also gets ADAS tech with features like autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, auto high beam & blind spot detection. Moreover, the SUV also has child presence detection & rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist for motorcycle as optional fitment.
Hyundai is offering RCCA, a technology fitment for motorcycle safety & child presence detection technology in the Creta SUV. The RCCA is an additional safety technology that Hyundai highlighted in the assessment in which it is able to detect the presence of an approaching vehicle, either from the left or right, while reversing at low speed. The technology will initially provide a warning to alert the driver but it will automatically assist with braking in the event the risk of collision increases.
