A mass-market label doesn’t necessarily mean a car is any less safe than its more premium counterparts. Toyota—which is one of the most attainable brands in the Philippine market—is proof of this.
Most of the Japanese carmaker’s current offerings in the Philippines, from budget-friendly vehicles like the Vios and the Yaris, to more upscale products like the Camry, boast five-star safety ratings courtesy of ASEAN NCAP, our region’s governing vehicle safety body.
If you’re planning on buying a Toyota, below are the ASEAN NCAP crash-test results of its entire 2019 Philippines lineup.
Keep in mind that the agency’s rating system was recently adjusted, so some cars’ results will vary depending on what year they were tested, and updated models carry the same results as their pre-refresh versions. Also, newer cars like the RAV4 and the Hiace have yet to be tested, and the Toyota 86, the Land Cruiser, the Alphard, and the FJ Cruiser’s results are unavailable.
