ANCAP finds missing clang members, little information specification successful Australian Hondas
In a triple-car merchandise targeting 3 Honda models, the Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP) has discovered differences successful their operation and information specification compared to European models, which the user assemblage says hindered the hold of their Euro NCAP ratings to the Land Down Under.
The 11th-gen Honda Civic i-VTEC is sold successful Australia with less airbags, little intelligent seatbelt reminders and a manual speedlimiter (as opposed to ISA successful the European one), and ANCAP has declared it 'Unrated'. The Civic e:HEV, however, has been awarded 5 stars.
The Honda CR-V was awarded a dual standing by Euro NCAP past twelvemonth — 4 stars with Honda's vanilla "Sensing" camera-only ADAS suite, and 5 with optional "Sensing 360", a much precocious strategy with country radars. But Australian models bash not connection "Sensing 360" and are fixed 4 stars crossed the range.
But what is possibly astir funny is the Honda ZR-V: ANCAP says that it is missing a beam successful the rear door, and has a different beforehand bumper beam, the second affecting trial results successful pedestrian interaction locations. ANCAP says that though the erstwhile did not impact trial results, Honda haven't been capable to explicate the difference.
