The latest Suzuki Swift model has undergone a series of tough crash test in Japan and achieved a notable 4-star rating. These tests were carried out at speeds ranging from 50 to 60 km/h. The car was evaluated for its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) capabilities and underwent frontal-side crash tests at speeds of 55 and 64 km/h, respectively. Additionally, it underwent a side impact test. Despite damage to the front of the hatchback in all these tests, the pillars remained undamaged.
Suzuki Swift scored an outstanding 99% in preventive safety measures, showcasing its exceptional performance.

Maruti Suzuki Swift - Current Generation |
The 2024 version of the Swift in Japan comes with an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite, offering various safety technologies. These include adaptive cruise control, a driver monitoring system, adaptive high beam assist, lane keep assist, dual sensor brake support, and road sign recognition. Additionally, the car features a 360-degree camera, blind spot monitor, and rear cross-traffic alert.
However, when all-new Swift arrives in India, it will not include many of these capabilities, including ADAS. Nonetheless, both the interior and exterior design elements of the car are expected to be identical to the global-spec model.
