The subcompact sedan scored 14.17 out of a possible 16 points for the frontal offset barrier impact test, dropping points due to offering marginal protection to the driver’s chest. Side deformable barrier impact testing received a higher 15.29 points out of 16.

The carmaker has also gradually been upgrading its line-up of cars with additional safety features with even models such as the Alto, Wagon R and Eeco now featuring six airbags as standard.
