The 2020 Honda City has received a 5-star safety rating for crash tests conducted by ASEAN NCAP. It will likely be launched in India in April.
The 2020 Honda City is sold in S, V, SV and RS grades in Thailand. The unit tested by ASEAN NCAP was in the SV grade. It received 44.83 points for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), 22.82 points for Child Occupant Protection (COP) and 18.89 points for Safety Assist Technologies (SATs).

The car’s frontal occupant compartment remained stable in the front offset test and both the dummies at the front received good protection, with an exception of their lower legs.
