Suzuki Fronx Scores 5-Star Safety Rating in ASEAN NCAP Crash Tests: Watch Video

The 2025 Suzuki Fronx has scored a 5-star safety rating in the latest round of ASEAN NCAP crash tests. This comes after the SUV underwent crash testing under the Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP) earlier this year, where it scored four stars. It is worth noting that the Fronx is manufactured in India and exported to Southeast Asian markets. However, depending on the market, there are a few differences in features, powertrain, and safety. Most recently, the Fronx SUV, tested in its 1.5-litre petrol 6AT guise, attained overall scores of 36.71 for Adult Occupant Protection, 15.27 for Child Occupant Protection, 15.71 for Safety Assist, and 10 for Motorcyclist Safety. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the results from the ASEAN NCAP crash tests.
