The all-new Suzuki Swift was first revealed towards the end of the 2016, and now, the hatchback has received a four-star safety rating by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). However, this only applies to models fitted with the radar brake support pack, and those without it will only get three stars instead.
The discrepancy in safety ratings is due to the Safety Assist test category, which takes into account driver assist technologies including autonomous emergency braking (AEB). On Swift models without Suzuki’s AEB system, a score of 25% is awarded, whereas cars with the system are rated at 44%.
In other aspects, the Swift performed well in the Adult Occupant test, with AEB-equipped models scoring 88% (models without AEB scored 83%).The Swift also received a score of 75% in the Child Occupant test and 69% in the Pedestrian test.
“Euro NCAP started rewarding AEB pedestrian systems last year and we have seen a rapid uptake of the technology. We hope to see as fast an adoption of AEB systems that detect cyclists when tests of those systems form part of the rating next year,” said Euro NCAP secretary general Michiel van Ratingen.

Rebadged Proton Swift..
Already have iriz.
Swift sounds better
Iriz has better driving dynamics than swift, bar the sport variant.
Syok sendiri
Obviously you never drive a proton
Dat comingfrom someone who never test drove both o them? Yeah, syoik sendri alright.
Pity Suzuki tutup kedai and ran off from Malaysia. Now, after kena main from Proton, Suzuki already angry.
Once married, now already cerai, Romeo Proton already found new China doll bride Geely as new girlfriend. Proton just threw Suzuki into the tong sampah.
Suzuki still in shock. Still cannot believe they got dumped. But pity Proton, it still needs to pay few hundred million royalty for the rights to rebadge Ertiga.
How I wish we could get the Swift back again. Such a good car.
Kesian Suzuki. Kena tipu .. closing down all their showrooms and now all alone.
Suzuki now u can open shop again here
Basher says all dat stars taboleh pakai one, cuz all these NCAPs dah kena deadak. How else can lousy P1 get 5 star in godcounty kangarooland.
Preve was tested years ago by ANCAP(Australasian New Car Assessment Program). On the other hand, ENCAP(European New Car Assessment Program) is way tougher and have more requirements for a vehicle to pass. I.e. the Nissan Navara get 1 star when they first tested it in 2008 that have faulty airbags. The new software update brings the stars to 3 for ENCAP. But when ANCAP tested the same updated Navara, it get 4 star of safety ratings. Different crash assessment organization have different testing procedures, thus the variances of rating score. I’m a bit concerned about the Asean NCAP though, which was tested in Malaysia.
Swift is a great car especially if its a manual. Hope can bring here and sell below RM30k…
No problem. Just that spec is w/o windows, tayars, brakes, steering & engine. Bila mau order?
