advertisementIn terms of the score itself, the Fronx scored 163.75 out of 193.8 points in the Overall Safety Performance, which is an impressive 84 per cent. In the Preventive Safety Performance, again, the Fronx was impressive once again with a total score of 79.42 out of 85.8 points, which amounts to 92 per cent. In the Collision Safety Performance, it scored 76.33 out of 100 points and in the Automatic Emergency Call System, the Fronx produced a perfect 8 out of 8 score.

Furthermore, it was tested for pedestrian safety as well, wherein it scored Level 3/5 for pedestrian head protection and a Level 5 for pedestrian leg protection, which again is a good score. When it comes to Autonomous Emergency braking, the Fronx scored a perfect Level 5 rating, and Level 3 for the intersection part of the test. It remains to be seen if the Fronx sold in India can secure a similar score, since it lacks the aforementioned additional safety equipment.
