The new Honda Amaze 3rd Gen has been crash-tested under the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP), and the results show a significant improvement in safety performance. Tested in October 2025, the compact sedan delivered an impressive showing in both Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Child Occupant Protection (COP) categories.
According to the official test report, the Amaze 3rd Gen secured
– 28.33 out of 32 in Adult Occupant Protection and
– 40.81 out of 49 in Child Occupant Protection.
Adult Occupant Protection – 28.33 / 32
The Amaze 3rd Gen performed strongly in both major crash assessments:
• Frontal Offset Deformable Barrier Test: 14.33 / 16
• Side Movable Deformable Barrier Test: 14.00 / 16
The report highlights that the sedan offers standard frontal airbags, belt pretensioners, and load limiters for both driver and front passenger. Side head curtain airbags are also standard, significantly boosting side-impact protection.
