Maruti Victoris Global NCAP Rating Compared With Bharat NCAP Test

The Maruti Victoris was recently crash tested by Global NCAP, where it received a 5-star rating for both adult and child occupant protection. Notably, the new Maruti compact SUV was also tested by Bharat NCAP, where it received a similar rating. So, how does the Victoris’ Global NCAP rating compare against its Bharat NCAP results? Let us find out. 

Maruti Victoris Crash Test Ratings And Scores Compared

Let us take a look at how the crash test results of the compact SUV compare in real life:

Maruti Victoris Global NCAP Crash Test Results

The Maruti Victoris, as the table above suggests, performed exceptionally well in its Global NCAP crash test. In the frontal offset deformable barrier test, protection to the driver’s head, neck, thighs, feet and left tibia was marked ‘good’, while for the chest and right tibia was rated ‘adequate’. On the other hand, all critical parts of the co-driver received ‘good’ safety.

In the side pole impact test, all parts of the passenger received ‘good’ protection, but in the side movable deformable barrier test, the occupant’s chest got ‘adequate’ safety, and other parts, including head, pelvis and abdomen, were rated ‘good’.

In the child safety tests, the child seats of both 3-year-old and 18-month-old dummies were mounted using rearward-facing child seats and were installed using the ISOFIX anchorages and a support leg. Both dummies received full protection in both their front and side crash tests. 

Maruti Victoris Bharat NCAP Crash Test Results

Before the Global NCAP tests, the Victoris was also crash tested by Bharat NCAP, where it received a similar 5-star safety rating. At BNCAP’s frontal offset deformable barrier test, the driver’s chest and tibia received ‘adequate’ safety, while all other parts were marked ‘good’. However, like Global NCAP, protection to all parts of the co-driver was marked ‘good’.

In the side movable deformable barrier and side pole impact tests, all parts of the occupant, including his head, chest, abdomen and pelvis, received ‘good’ protection.

Bharat NCAP does not give a brief account of the child safety test and its results, but both the 18-month-old and 3-year-old dummies scored a full 8 out of 8 and 4 out of 4 points in their frontal and side crash tests, respectively.

Maruti Victoris Global NCAP vs Bharat NCAP Results: Takeaways

In the AOP tests, the Maruti Victoris performed similarly in its frontal offset deformable barrier tests in both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP, the only difference being that the driver’s left tibia was rated to receive ‘adequate’ protection in Bharat NCAP, while in Global NCAP it was ‘good’.

Even though the frontal collision test results were almost identical, it was the side movable deformable barrier test, where the results of the two crash test agencies differed. At Global NCAP, the occupant’s chest received ‘adequate’ protection, which was marked ‘good’ at Bharat NCAP. Other than this, other critical parts were rated ‘good’ by both testing entities. 

The result was similar in the side pole impact tests, where all parts of passengers got ‘good’ safety in both tests.

Likewise, in the COP tests, the dummies scored full points in both frontal and side collisions at both Bharat NCAP as well as Global NCAP. That being said, the vehicle assessment scores differed in both crash tests, and the Victoris had a better score in Bharat NCAP than in Global NCAP. This could be one of the reasons why the compact SUV had a better overall COP score in Bharat NCAP.
