Buy the CFE version and you will get this 5 star car.

The ausie version only have to extra side curtain airbag thats all.

I see lots of k/ pipu here are too ego to give credit when its due.

We are talking about the car safety feature and improvement made by proton then all sudenly talk about price naik la, tongkat la, malaysia got different car.

Why not leave your biased and unrelated view for once and talk about the car.

Love all the compact 3rd rate import cars all u want. Guess what? The tax is here to stay, time to live with it and accept the fact that you are living in Maalaysia, not in korea, japan or the USA u always been DREAMING about. So accept the fact that proton sell a higher spec car at a lower price compared to other makers in Malaysia.

That is a fact.

i hate to say this, but the curtain airbags makes the different from 5 star to 4 star... our cfe version is 4 star...

Hold that thought, read somewhere on the net they say irs the ESC that makes the difference not side curtain. So which one os true here?

Dear Name censored ,

Thank you for contacting ANCAP.

To achieve the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating, a vehicle must achieve a minimum score across all physical tests as well as meet minimum requirements for the inclusion of mandatory and additional safety equipment and safety assist technologies (SAT).



In 2013, the physical tests ANCAP conducts are:

1.             Frontal offset test - simulates hitting another car of the same mass travelling at the same speed – maximum 16 points.  Minimum of 12.5 points required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.

2.             Side impact test - simulates two cars colliding at 90 degrees – maximum 16 points.  Minimum of 12.5 points required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.

3.             Pole test - simulates a car colliding sideways with a fixed object such as a tree or a pole – maximum 2 points (only available where vehicles are fitted with head protecting side airbags).  Minimum of 1 point required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.

4.             Pedestrian test - simulates a collision between a car and a pedestrian. Minimum score of 'Marginal' required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.

5.             Whiplash test - assesses the performance of the seat and head restraint in protecting the occupant from neck and spinal injury through dynamic performance and geometric measurements. Minimum score of 'Acceptable' required in this test to be eligible for a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.



To achieve a 5 star ANCAP safety rating in 2013, a vehicle must also have:

·         electronic stability control (ESC)

·         3-point seat belts for all forward facing seats

·         head-protecting technology (side airbags) for front seats

·         seat belt reminders for front seats

·         emergency brake assist (EBA)

·         3 x additional SAT (such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB), adaptive cruise control (ACC), blind spot monitoring (BSM) etc.).



ANCAP recommends vehicles which have been awarded the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating.



If you need any further information, please don't hesitate to ask.



Kind regards,

Koreans can get their Kia around RM50k in their local currency back in Korea but Malaysians has to pay extra just for a basic car. GOOD! YES! WAY TO GO! NEXT TIME ALL POKAI PAY CAR!

you are precisely right my dear sir. I'm the typical poor Malaysian that can only afford a proton with minimum safety features.
tell me. what new car that can fit a family of 4 with 5-star NCAP can I buy for 50k and below?

safety do comes first of course. instead of relying on those expensive gadgets that I can't afford, I just have to realise that i'm driving a tin can and I have to be extra careful on the road.

of course the other manufacturers have to sell their cars at low safety specs here. they have to lower their cost while remaining profitable/competitive. thanks to the high cost of cars. thanks to our government's policy to protect a certain car manufacturer here.

now, which part of high cost do you not understand?

ESC is compulsory nowadays.. without ESC, the car wont go beyond 3 star. curtain is a big bonus point. with ESC and without curtain airbag, the car can only get 4 star...
