A five-star rating has been given to the new Toyota Granvia people-mover by the Australian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).
It is the first model in the segment to achieve five stars and will enter the Australian and New Zealand markets this month.
“The Granvia provides a range of well-performing safety technologies and features,” ANCAP chief technical officer Mark Terrell.
“As a model which will be used to transport families and groups, it is pleasing to see side head-protecting airbags extend to all four seating rows.”
“Child occupant protection has also been prioritised with ISOFix and top tether anchorages available for all second and third row seats, and close to full marks achieved in the frontal impact and side impact tests.”
Terrell says the fourth seating row is not suitable for transporting young children as top tether anchorages are not fitted.
“The introduction of the Granvia provides consumers and fleet operators with superior levels of safety in this segment.”
In the small SUV segment, the Audi Q3 also achieved five-stars, scoring well across all areas of assessment.
“Tests of its lane support functionality showed good performance in all test scenarios including more critical emergency lane keeping scenarios that require the vehicle to intervene to prevent both unintentional and intentional lane crossing or run-off-road situations,” Terrell says.
All Audi Q3 variants, except the unrated RS Q3 and Sportback variants have five-star ANCAP safety ratings.
All Toyota Granvia variants have a five-star ANCAP safety rating.
