In Adult Occupant Protection, the Honda WR-V scored 27.41 points out of a maximum 32 points, as the SUV only managed to provide adequate protection for the crash test dummy’s chest and right leg. For comparison, the Ativa scored 29.98 points in the same category.

Closer to home, Honda Malaysia has yet to confirm the availability of the WR-V here, but considering that the WR-V was developed as a regional product, it would be logical for the model to be introduced here in the near future.
