Yeah, I agree, forgot about that. Should compare between other NCAPs too, like Latin, Europe, and US own program IIHS-HLDI: Crash Testing*&*Highway Safety.That's not how you measure safety... just because it has more safety features doesn't make it safe. Crash tests will establish how the car actually performs in a front end collision, with some tests now going as far as doing rollover ratings.
Kia safety | Cerato crash test - ANCAP
Honda safety | City crash test - ANCAP
The City actually performed better than the 2009 Kia Cerato (Kia Forte). Almera has not been tested yet. Since both cars are tested by ANCAP, it is an apples to apples comparison.
But what I think the result might no be accurate as these results are based on respective local specs. Say if some airbags are removed then the points should be lower.
For example, under Europe NCAP, fiesta has 5 star award which inclusive of 7 air bags (knee airbag as well). My Fiesta only have 2 front air bags so the award should be lowered 4 star?
