The Toyota Innova Hycross: A Paragon of Safety on Indian Roads
In a significant milestone for automotive safety in India, the Toyota Innova Hycross has emerged as a beacon of safety, securing an impressive 5-star rating in the Bharat NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) crash tests. This achievement underscores the vehicle’s robust design and advanced safety features, which are designed to protect occupants in the event of a collision.
Adult Occupant Protection: A Stellar Performance
The Innova Hycross has demonstrated exceptional safety credentials, scoring 30.47 points out of 32 in adult occupant protection (AOP). This impressive score is a testament to the vehicle’s ability to safeguard its occupants, particularly adults, in the event of a crash. The AOP assessment includes various tests, such as the frontal offset deformable barrier test and the side movable deformable barrier test, both of which the Innova Hycross has passed with flying colors.
Frontal Offset Deformable Barrier Test: A Good Showing
In the frontal offset deformable barrier test, the Innova Hycross scored 14.47 out of 16 points, showcasing good protection for most body parts for both the driver and passenger. While the vehicle’s performance was commendable, the chest protection was rated as only adequate, highlighting an area for potential improvement. Nevertheless, the Innova Hycross’s overall performance in this test is a testament to its robust design and safety features.
Side Movable Deformable Barrier Test: Flawless Execution
The Innova Hycross’s performance in the side movable deformable barrier test was nothing short of exceptional, with the vehicle securing full marks (16/16). This outstanding score demonstrates the vehicle’s ability to absorb and distribute the forces of a side impact, thereby minimizing the risk of injury to its occupants.
Side Pole Impact Test: A Satisfactory Performance
In the side pole impact test, the Innova Hycross was rated ‘OK’, further reinforcing its safety credentials. This test simulates a scenario where a vehicle collides with a narrow object, such as a pole or a tree, and assesses the vehicle’s ability to protect its occupants in such an event.
A New Benchmark for Safety in India
The Toyota Innova Hycross’s 5-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP crash tests sets a new benchmark for safety in India. This achievement not only underscores the vehicle’s safety features but also highlights Toyota’s commitment to protecting its customers. As a pioneering achievement, the Innova Hycross’s safety rating will likely influence the Indian automotive industry, encouraging other manufacturers to prioritize safety in their vehicle designs.
Toyota Innova Hycross child occupant protection
COP score among the highest in BNCAP tests so far
In the child occupant protection (COP), the Innova Hycross secured 45 out of 49 points. It got full points in the dynamic test (24/24) and the CRS installation test (12/12) and 9 out of 13 in the vehicle assessment test. Both the 18-month-old and the 3-year-old child dummies were tested in rearward-facing child seats, secured by ISOFIX anchorages and a support leg. The Innova Hycross gets ISOFIX anchorages on the outboard rear seats but misses out on an integrated child restraint system.
