- In terms of adult occupant protection, the new Swift scored 26.9 out of 40.
- In terms of child occupant protection, it received 32.1/49 points.
- Because ADAS is available, the global-spec model also receives additional safety technology.
- The Swift is priced between Rs 6.49 lakh and Rs 9.60 lakh (introductory ex-showroom in India).
Euro NCAP has conducted crash tests for the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift, which was introduced in India in May 2024 (new car assessment program). In the safety assessments, it received an overall rating of three stars. It should be mentioned that Swift received four stars in the Japanese NCAP test, a higher rating.
Protection of Adult Occupants – 26.9/40 Pts (67%)
The new Swift was graded on four factors, including rescue and extrication, as well as three impact tests (front, lateral, and rear), per Euro NCAP regulations. The front passengers’ heads were protected “well” by the Maruti Suzuki hatchback, while their chests were only “weakly” to “adequately” protected. It demonstrated “good” knee and femur protection for the driver and passenger. A few places on the dashboard presented a risk to individuals with varied builds and seating postures, according to Euro NCAP. The actual passenger cabin received a “stable” rating.
The safety authority examines and grants an automobile under the rescue and extrication parameter based on the presence of a rescue sheet, an emergency call system, a multi-collision brake, and a submergence check. In the case of a collision, the 2024 Swift’s e-calling system not only notifies the emergency authorities but also partially complies with Euro NCAP regulations. When the Swift lost power after entering the water, its doors, if locked, could be opened in two minutes, but it’s not certain how long the windows would stay functional.
Protection of Child Occupants: 32.1/49 Points (65%)
In the frontal offset test, the Swift provided “poor” protection for the 10-year-old dummy’s neck. Head protection received a rating of “adequate,” but chest protection was considered “marginal.” About the 6-year-old dummy, the Suzuki hatchback offered “marginal” head protection and “weak” neck protection. The 10-year-old dummy’s chest protection in the side barrier test was evaluated as “poor,” while its neck protection was assessed as “weak.”
Road Users at Risk (VRU): 48/63 Points, or 76%
The vehicle rollover (VRU) portion of the test evaluates the car’s safety for people who could accidentally run into it or tumble on it. While the front bumper is unlikely to mangle their legs, the new Swift’s bonnet offers “adequate” protection for pedestrians. The protection for the pelvic, femur, knee, and tibia region was assessed as “good.” That being said, when it came to the A-pillars, it received a “poor” rating. Fortunately, in most situations, its autonomous emergency braking (AEB) does a “fairly good” job of identifying bikes and pedestrians to prevent collisions.
Safety Assists – 11.3/18 Pts (62 Percent)
Some advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as front collision warning and autonomous emergency braking (AEB), are exclusive to the global-spec fourth-generation Swift and are not offered by the India-spec vehicle. Its lane support and speed detection systems, as well as its automated emergency braking (AEB) system, all functioned satisfactorily in detecting other vehicles, according to the results of the Euro NCAP tests. Its driver status monitoring system, however, is limited to identifying driver fatigue. The Swift’s overall rating has been lowered because it lacks an occupant detecting system.
