In the "Best Safety Assist" category, the model also won the highest score and was well-rated thanks to its safety features such as forward collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB) and lane departure warning (LDW). In the "Best Car" and "Best Safety for Motorcyclists" categories, the first model launched by VinFast in the world market won the highest score thanks to its safety support technologies that achieved maximum points according to ASEAN NCAP standards.
