The Maruti Suzuki Swift received a 2-star safety rating in crash tests conducted by Global NCAP. The tests showed the Swift's body structure was unstable and did not adequately protect the chest and knees of occupants. While dual airbags are now standard, the Swift still lacks optional safety features like side curtain airbags that are standard on the European version. Global NCAP recommends Maruti Suzuki make high-safety versions of the Swift available in India, as they have done with other models like the Brezza, to improve occupant protection.

5. Maruti Suzuki Swift scores
2-star safety rating assessment
an ongoing initiative, Global NCAP has given the Maruti Suzuki Swift a 2-
star rating in terms of adult protection. As a part of the "Safer Cars for
India" campaign, GNCAP has released the results of the crash test of the
Maruti Suzuki Swift. The results are somewhat disappointing.
According to GNACP, the Swift fails on adult safety. The report also further
stated that the bodyshell on the Swift is unstable and is unable to
withstand heavy impacts. The Swift, although, provides protection for the
head and neck, but the chest and knee areas showed lesser protection.

6. • The report stated that the latest version of the Maruti Suzuki Swift
with standard double airbags, and ISOFIX (i-size) anchorages, reached
two stars in Adult Occupant Protection and two stars for Child
Occupant Protection.
• According to the report, the two-star result for adult occupants is due
to high compression to the driver's chest, unstable structure and poor
protection for the feet explained by pedal displacement on the driver
side. The Child Occupant Protection of only two stars is explained by
the forward facing positioning of the 18-month-old dummy in the test
offering low protection and also the low protection offered to the
chest of the 3-year-old dummy.

8. • The Global NCAP report further stated that in comparison to its
predecessor tested by Global NCAP in 2014, the new Swift offers two
standard airbags and I-size approved anchorage points for CRS which
demonstrated a two-star performance in safety tests. However
comparing it to its twin model for the European market, the Indian
version underperformed in the frontal crash test and is offering fewer
safety features like side body and curtain airbags and Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) that are standard for Europe, in India are not
even optional.

9. SOLUTION
• The latest version of the Swift sold in India has improved and it is
good to see dual airbags as standard. This confirms the beneficial
effect of the Indian government's new crash test regulations," Global
NCAP Secretary General David Ward said
• Maruti Suzuki proved with the Brezza that they can produce locally
models with high safety performance. They should do the same with
the Swift and at least make it available in the model range added
safety features available as standard in the European and Japanese
version
