Bharat NCAP has crash tested the Maruti Victoris. The Victoris has secured a five star safety rating for adult occupant protection as well as child occupant protection.

The Victoris had a near perfect score in terms of adult occupant protection, scoring 31.66 points out of 32. For child occupant protection, it scored 43 out of 49.
Adult Occupant Protection
To arrive at the adult occupant protection score, BharatNCAP conducts a ‘frontal offset deformable barrier test’ that mimics a frontal collision. The Victoris scored a near perfect 15.66/16.
In this test, the Victoris offered ‘good’ levels of protection for the head, neck, pelvis, both thighs and both feet of the driver. A ‘good’ rating is the highest level of protection possible. Protection for the chest, and both tibias (shin area) was rated as ‘adequate’, which is the second best score possible. For the co-driver, the Victoris offers ‘good’ protection for all possible parameters.
The side pole and side deformable barrier test mimic a side-on collision. The Victoris offered ‘good’ protection to all impact areas including the head, neck, chest abdomen and pelvis, giving it a perfect 16/16 score.
