Made-in-India Maruti Suzuki Fronx secures 4-star Japan NCAP safety rating
The Fronx is one of several cars made in India and exported to other countries, including the brand's home country. The Japan NCAP safety rating for the Fronx sold there is out, and it has a fairly impressive score of 4 out of 5 stars. However, the Fronx sold in Japan does come with a few additional features, like an all-wheel drive system and level-2 ADAS. The Fronx hasn't been tested by GNCAP or BNCAP just yet.

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. Maruti Suzuki Fronx tested by JNCAP.

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. Subscribe to Auto Today MagazineMust Watch
