Now, it has been crash tested by Global NCAP as well, and the compact SUV has received a 5-star safety rating in both Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Child Occupant Protection (COP) tests. This achievement has made it the second Maruti car, after the Dzire sub-4m sedan, to get a full star protection rating in both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP.
