The Latin NCAP stated that the Ford Aspire facelift provided good protection overall, but the sedan lost some points as the driver side airbag bottomed out during the frontal collision test. The driver and front passenger protection were also rated as average. During the side impact test, the sedan lost some points because the rear door opened.

The Brazil-spec Ford Aspire (Ka) facelift comes equipped with a host of safety features such as dual front airbags, ABS, ISOFIX child seat mounts and front seat belt pretensioners. The sedan misses out on electronic stability control and it resulted in losing some points.
