Suzuki Vitara gets five star overall at 2015 Euro NCAP testing programme (2)

The new Vitara has been awarded five stars by Euro NCAP receiving top-class rating for its excellent safety performance.

Suzuki’s latest model is the first compact SUV to achieve high scores in each of the four main areas of occupant protection, child safety, pedestrian protection and safety assist undergoing new rigorous tests by the 2015 European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP).

In detail:

  • Adult Occupant: 89%/ (80%*)
  • Child Occupant: 85%/ (75%*)
  • Pedestrian: 76%/ (65%*)
  • Safety Assist: 75%/ (70%*)

*) minimum level for 5-star rating

The five star rating is limited to those models that provide the greatest amount of crash protection for occupants and pedestrians. Taking into consideration the fact that the rating system was made even more rigorous in 2015, these five stars are more valuable than ever before.

The new Vitara’s passive and active safety systems are designed to intelligently anticipate and react to potentially dangerous situations with an excellent level of protection.

One of its major safety features is Total Effective Control Technology – a concept for occupant-protecting impact absorption and low weight developed by Suzuki. Computer-aided engineering technologies and the extensive use of high-tensile steel make the body light and highly crashworthy and fuel-efficient.

Passive-safety equipment also includes seven airbags, which protect occupants in the event of a frontal or side impact; seatbelt pretensioners and force limiters.Euro NCAP’s tests on the front seats and head restraints showed good protection against whiplash injury in the event of rear-end collision and a geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good protection.

In addition, the bonnet shape and new structures for the cowl top, wipers, and bumpers provide impact absorption to mitigate the extent of harm in the event that the car comes into contact with a pedestrian.

Much thought has been put into the active safety equipment of the new Vitara. It includes advanced technologies such as pre-collision safety systems. The Vitara is equipped with Radar Brake Support.

If it detects the risk of a collision with the vehicle in front, the system warns the driver with an acoustic alert and indication on the meter display. The driver can select the timing of the warning from: FAR and NEAR. If the risk of a collision gets higher, the system activates brake assist which increases the braking force during hard braking. If the Radar Brake Support then determines a collision is actually unavoidable, it applies the brakes automatically to prevent a collision or to reduce damages at low speeds.
