Global NCAP’s new Safer Cars for Africa crash results reveal a disappointing one-star rating for the made-in-India Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga underwent a crash test by Global NCAP in 2019 and received an average rating of three stars. However, it performed poorly under the Global NCAP's new, stricter testing protocols, implemented in July 2022. Also, the rating for child occupants dropped from three stars to two stars. The India-made MPV comes with two frontal airbags as standard. Its structure received a borderline unstable rating, and its footwell area was also rated as unstable, with pedal displacement showing potential injury risks to the driver's lower legs.
