The Custom trim level is also fitted as standard with Mitsubishi's Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Automatic High Beam systems. Safety Package trim levels are fitted as standard with Mitsubishi's Multi Around Monitor, which also provides a bird's eye view of the car, that allows the driver to check what is behind the car. These driver assistance systems all support safer operation of the vehicle.

As in previous years, it tested the four areas of: Vehicle damage mitigating braking; Pedestrian injury mitigating brake system; Lane keep assist; and Rearview monitor(3). This year, three new categories were tested: High-performance multi-functional headlights, Sudden unintended acceleration mitigation, and Pedestrian injury mitigation braking (at night with street lighting).

And compact minivan the Delica D:2 has also been awarded the maximum ASV+++(2) rating for active safety performance.
