The European market-spec hatchback is loaded with safety features such as twin front airbags, side chest airbags, a seat belt pre-tensioner, side head airbags, and a seatbelt load limiter for all occupants. For the front passengers, it features side pelvis airbags. The car also features Isofix and a seatbelt reminder system. According to the Euro NCAP crash test reports, the ADAS system integrated into the new Swift hatchback scored 62 percent with 11.3 points, while the Occupant Status Monitoring scored 0.3 points. On the other hand, the speed assistance system was given 2.1 points, the lane support system 2.5 points, and the AEB car-to-car system 6.5 points.
The 2024 Suzuki Swift launched in India features a range of safety features, including six airbags, hill hold assist, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Isofix, reverse camera parking, and more. The hatchback misses out on the hybrid powertrain technology equipped in the European-spec model. The new-generation Suzuki Swift is expected to undergo Bharat NCAP crash tests. However, there are reports to confirm these speculations. The company has already sent its car models, like the Grand Vitara, Baleno, and Brezza, for Bharat NCAP crash tests.
