The Suzuki Fronx, which is made in India, got an impressive 4-star rating in the crash tests done by the Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP). The model that was tested was made in India, but it had extra safety measures that the Indian version did not have. Getting an overall safety score of 84%, the Fronx had good crash protection and accident prevention measures, making it one of the safer compact SUVS on the market.
JNCAP Crash Test Scores: High Marks in Safety
The Fronx got 163.75 out of 193.8 points total in detailed crash tests. It got 79.42 out of 85.8 points for preventive safety tech, which includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB), which shows that it is very good at keeping crashes from happening. The Fronx got 76.33 out of 100 for collision safety, and it did well in the offset frontal impact test, getting 21.08 out of 24 points. It also got a Level 5 grade for protecting against full-wrap frontal impacts, side impacts, and children.
Japan vs India: Differences in Safety Equipment
Although the Japanese and Indian versions of the Fronx are made in India, the Japanese version has better safety features like AEB and lane exit prevention. These features show that Japan has stricter safety rules and higher standards for its customers. This difference shows how safety features can vary from market to market, even for the same model.
