The tested model of Holden Malibu was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in 2013. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all variants.
Pole Test.
Dual frontal, side chest and side head airbags (curtains) are standard. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats.
The vehicle was eligible for a side pole test because it has side curtain airbags. The vehicle scored the maximum 2 points for head protection in this test.
In the frontal offset crash test, the passenger leg protection was acceptable. All other injury results were good in this test and in the side impact test. Head protection in the side pole test was good.
Scored out of 2 points

PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION Pedestrian Test. Scored out of 36 points Child head impacts: Adult head impacts: Upper leg impacts: Lower leg impacts:
10.79 points 3.88 points 1.80 points 4.00 points
The bumper provided good protection in most areas tested but the outer sections were poor. The front edge of the bonnet was predominantly poor. In most areas likely to be struck by a child's head, the bonnet provided good protection but it offered predominantly poor protection in those areas likely to be struck by the head of an adult.

* For information about the application of ANCAP ratings to model variants see the ANCAP Variant Policy. In brief, ratings do not automatically extend to variants that have different body styles, engine configurations, driven wheels or occupant restraint systems (e.g. fewer airbags). In these cases ANCAP considers technical evidence submitted by manufacturers before deciding on extending a rating to additional variants of a model. ^ Refer ANCAP Rating Road Map (www.ancap.com.au/media).
