The Toyota Innova facelift also now gets ESC as standard, which also helped the car achieve a full five-star safety rating. In comparison, the 2016 Innova received ESC only on the higher variants, which is why the MPV had previously received a four-star safety rating on the base version.

The adult occupant rating on the 2020 version, remained the same as the 2016 version tested by ASEAN NCAP

The Toyota Innova facelift scored 45.90 points for adult occupant safety, while the car received 21.51 points for child occupant safety. It also received 15.28 points for Safety Assist Technologies. The offset frontal crash test was extended from the 2016 version to the 2020 version of the Innova, since the car has not received any structural changes with the facelift.

However, the frontal offset test and the side impact test was conducted in-house by Toyota, in collaboration between the automaker and ASEAN NCAP. The test was done at Toyota's lab to obtain results for child occupant protection assessment as the tests in 2016 used child P-dummies, while the more recent tests used Q-dummies instead.

The Innova Crysta facelift was crash tested with Q-dummies that offer better evaluation the risk of injury

The Q-dummies are the new generation of dummies that are being used by crash test agencies to gather more data on the impact of accidents on occupants. According to crash test dummy maker Humanetics, the newer Q-dummies offer better anthropometry, biomechanics and kinematics, all of which help in evaluating the risk of injury to varying ages and sizes of child passengers.
