All safety assist technologies that are assessed by the ASEAN NCAP are also available as standard or options in all variants of the new vehicle. MIROS Director-General and ASEAN NCAP Chairperson Dr Siti Zaharah Ishak said that they are excited to have another 5-star car in the line-up of ASEAN NCAP assessed vehicles. “Although the City was assessed twice prior to this, we can see there have been significant improvements in the number of safety technologies that are equipped in this new model as a standard fitment,” Ishak said.
