Suzuki Fronx Crash Test: ANCAP gave only one star safety rating to the Indian made Suzuki Fronx, whereas it got four and five stars in Japan NCAP and ASEAN NCAP. The biggest reason behind the low score was the defect in the seat belt. Earlier, Baleno was also tested abroad. Baleno got only 2 stars in crash test.
New Delhi. The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) has tested the Indian-made Suzuki Franxx and its results are considered worrying. Based on the tests conducted by the safety rating agency, this car has received only one star rating. This rating applies to the variants sold in the markets of Australia and New Zealand. In contrast, the variants tested by Japan NCAP and ASEAN NCAP received four and five star ratings respectively. Earlier, Baleno has got 2 star rating in crash test.

Franks performed averagely in four main assessment categories. It scored 48 percent in adult occupant protection, 40 percent in child occupant protection, 65 percent in vulnerable road user protection and 55 percent in safety assist. Although the car performed well in some tests, a serious flaw had a major impact on its safety rating. The biggest problem came to light during the full-length frontal crash assessment. A malfunction in the rear passenger seat belt retractor caused the belt to suddenly unbuckle, causing the rear crash test dummy to move forward without any restraint and collide with the front seat.
Child Occupant Protection
The Ford scored a 40 percent score for child occupant protection, mainly due to the lack of rear seat belt pre-tensioners. ANCAP found that the child dummy did not provide adequate protection during frontal and side impact tests. Child head and chest protection remained weak to average, resulting in low scores in many test scenarios. There are ISOFIX anchors and top tether points for the rear seats, but the score is further reduced due to the lack of seat belt pre-tensioners and child presence detection system.
pedestrian safety
The Autonomous Emergency Braking System performed well in most scenarios involving pedestrians and cyclists, and it performed well for motorcyclists as well. However, this system does not work when reversing, which limits its effectiveness in certain real-world situations.

Safety Features Many driver assistance features have been provided in the front, such as autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, emergency lane keeping, blind spot monitoring and speed assistance system. AEB performed well in car-to-car and junction scenarios and reduced the likelihood of collision. This vehicle does not have the facility of head-on AEB nor is it provided with direct driver monitoring system. There are seat belt reminders for all seating positions, but no occupant detection for the rear center seat.
