Maruti Suzuki has already unveiled its new SUV, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, in the Indian market, and the company will soon reveal its price. This SUV recently underwent a crash test under the Global NCAP and achieved an impressive 5-star safety rating.
With this rating, the Victoris has become one of the safest cars available in India. It is noteworthy that Maruti has faced criticism in the past for not producing safer vehicles, as several of their earlier models did not perform well in safety tests.
However, it seems the company has changed its strategy and is now focusing on manufacturing cars with higher safety standards. This shift is particularly significant, as Maruti is the largest car-selling company in India.
Now, let’s look at the details of the crash test.

When discussing the details of the safety rating, the Victori SUV achieved a score of 33.74 out of 34 points in the adult occupant protection category.
The crash test data revealed that the driver’s and side passenger’s head, neck, and knees received a good rating, while their chests were rated as adequate.
In the child protection category, this SUV scored 41 out of 49 points. As a five-seater, it delivered impressive results in side impact tests.
In the movable barrier assessment, protection for the head, abdomen, and pelvis was rated as good, while the chest received an adequate rating.
In the side pole test, all areas, including the head and chest, scored good, further demonstrating the Victori’s strong safety credentials.
