New Toyota C-HR Awarded Top Five-Star Rating in Euro NCAP Safety Testing

Toyota C-HR obtains high ratings for occupant protection and active safety

The all-new Toyota C-HR has secured the top five-star rating in independent Euro NCAP safety testing. On top of offering excellent occupant protection in case of an accident, the model also obtained very good results in active safety.

The C-HR achieved an excellent 95 per cent score for overall adult occupant protection; 77 per cent for child occupants; 76 per cent for pedestrian protection performance; and 78 per cent for safety assist performance.

In its report, Euro NCAP commended the new C-HR for its good result in the frontal offset test and for achieving maximum points in both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact.

As part of Toyota’s commitment to democratise advanced safety equipment, Toyota Safety Sense is fitted as standard across the full C-HR range. This safety pack includes a Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian Recognition, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Alert (LDA) with steering control, Automatic High Beam (AHB) and Road Sign Assist (RSA).

The C-HR’s Pre-Collision System scored maximum points in the tests at low, city speeds, with collisions being avoided at all test speeds. Also at highway speeds, Toyota Safety Sense revealed good performance. When approaching a slower-moving car, collision was avoided at all test speeds..

The system’s Pedestrian Recognition function also showed good performance as collisions with the pedestrian target were avoided in all low speed tests and, at higher tests, the impact was avoided or mitigated.
