Both the models also got zero star rating for child occupants, as per test results published by GNCAP on Tuesday. It said two other popular car models – Volkswagen’s Virtus and Skoda’s Slavia – got five star ratings for adult and child occupants. The GNCAP rates cars on a scale of “zero to five” based on their safety features and those with a higher rating are considered safer for occupants.
In a statement, the UK-based entity said Alto K10 showed a stable structure and marginal to good protection for adult chest to head in the frontal impact but showed weak protection to the chest in the side impact. The WagonR also offered weak chest protection for the driver despite the improvements in the restraint systems by the manufacturer since the previous version of the model was tested.
However, a Maruti Suzuki spokesperson said, “India’s crash safety regulations are almost similar to the standards in Europe and all our models meet these regulations and are duly tested and certified by the government.” The company said the proposed Bharat NCAP, an India specific safety rating programme, will be more meaningful for Indian consumers.
