Bharat NCAP is all set to release new safety scores for a new batch of cars, which could include the new generation Maruti Swift.

It has been five months since the release of the first set of crash test results under India NCAP (BNCAP), India’s indigenous vehicle crash test standards. In December last year, BNCAP published the crash test results for the new Tata Safari and Tata Harrier, with both the SUVs earning a five-star safety rating. Now, the BNCAP authority has indicated that a new set of test results will be released soon. In a teaser video posted on its social media handle, BNCAP revealed that in the latest announcement, the new car model will have crash test results.

While BNCAP has not revealed which cars were tested in the latest crash test, speculation is rife that Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai models are among them. In fact, as early as April 2024, Maruti Suzuki said it has applied for BNCAP crash tests for its cars. However, the automaker has not revealed which cars will go under the testing hammer. The fourth generation iteration of the Maruti Suzuki Swift hatchback, which is set to make its India debut on 9th May 2024 and is already available for bookings across the country, could be one of the cars tested by BNCAP. The automaker is also working on a new generation Dzire compact sedan, which will be based on the fourth-gen Swift hatchback. The new Dzire is also expected to go under the BNCAP testing hammer. Apart from that, the Bronx and Grand Vitara may also be tested.

The new generation Swift which is already on sale in Japan comes with more safety features than the third generation model. It gets six airbags as standard along with ABS, EBD and a strong body frame. The new hatchback’s onboard ADAS also helps enhance its safety and occupant protection.

India NCAP or BNCAP was introduced last year as an indigenous car crash safety standard in India, designed to align with Global NCAP and other NCAP crash test regulations to test and rate cars based on the safety they offer.
