The ASEAN NCAP (New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries) has released the full assessment report for the 2026 Proton Saga MC3, which was launched earlier today, reiterating that the national automaker’s latest model has achieved a four-star rating under the outgoing 2021-2025 protocol, following the previous announcement made in October.
With the Standard as the variant tested here, the newly launched sedan model achieved 23.72 out of a possible 32.00 points in the adult occupant protection rating (AOP), 38.17 out of a possible 51.00 points in the child occupant protection rating (COP), 14.00 out of a possible 21.00 points in the safety assistance rating and 7.00 out of a possible 16.00 points in the motorcyclist safety assessment (MS) assessment.
During the adult occupant protection (AOP) assessment, the Saga’s front occupant compartment was deemed to have remained stable during the frontal impact test. Notable, however, was the marginal protection observed for the driver’s chest, for which marginal protection was also observed in the side impact test.
Safety assistance systems in the Proton Saga MC3 include autonomous emergency braking (AEB), forward collision warning, lane departure warning and blind spot detection, along with dual airbags, ESC, ABS, seat belt reminders for both front occupants and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
In the motorcycle safety rating, the 2026 Saga MC3 earned a bonus point for offering advanced motorcycle safety technology through the AEB for motorcycle functionality as optional equipment.
In the AOP, COP, Safety Assistance and Motorcycle Safety Rating categories, the Saga MC3 achieved a maximum star rating of four stars for each respective category, reaching a weighted score of 66.70 points for the overall ASEAN NCAP rating of four stars.
