New Suzuki Swift was not very safe
Suzuki Swift received only three stars for safety, failed testing
Another new victim of the crash test EuroNCAP showed insufficient protection of the occupant during the crash test was the Suzuki Swift. Compact Japanese novelty was not able to withstand the shock at the proper level. Therefore, experts EuroNCAP gave a Swift quite low average scores and awarded just three stars in its rating. Four stars compactable received only in the configuration with the Autonomous braking system in case of emergencies.
Surprisingly quickly developing automotive technology, especially advanced in recent years, technology of machine safety. Some five, seven years ago such results were not almost all brands and models received five-star rating in the quality awards. Today the situation has changed dramatically. Five stars now get almost all cars, it has become the norm. Moreover, when a new test car in crash test scores are in arrears or worse, gets three or two stars, it automatically can be considered the biggest loser of the year.
It seems something similar happened with the Suzuki Swift in a recent crash tests of EuroNCAP.
The main complaints about the car were: the lack of a standard system of automatic braking, this system is an option and a complete lack of features hold in the band and recognition of pedestrians that significantly affected the score of the test.
83% for the safety of front passengers
75%– the safety of child passengers
69% pedestrian safety
As can be seen the average score is quite high, but all the spoil of the security, or rather lack of them- 25% according to estimates by EuroNCAP, is the contribution of these systems in the protection of people.
For the model Suzuki Swift with a system of assistance in braking, Radar Brake Support, five percent was added security for front passengers, plus the 88%score for preventive safety has increased to 44%.
This example once again shows how it is important electronic AIDS and security systems. Without them, the modern car just can’t do!
