Maruti Victoris child occupant protection: 43/49

In the child occupant protection (COP) test, the Victoris scored 43 out of 49 points. It got full points in the dynamic test (24/24) and the CRS installation test (12/12) and 7 out of 13 in the vehicle assessment test. Both the 18-month-old and the 3-year-old child dummies were tested in rearward-facing child seats positioned in the rear outboard seats, secured by ISOFIX anchorages and a support leg. The Victoris, however, misses out on an integrated child restraint system.

Maruti Suzuki Victoris safety features

Bharat NCAP tested the top-spec ZX+ and ZX+(O) trims of the Victoris with the 1.5-litre strong-hybrid and 1.5-litre petrol-AT powertrains, but the safety rating is applicable for the entire range. As standard, the Victoris comes equipped with six airbags, 3-point seat belts with reminders for all passengers and ESC and ISOFIX anchors for rear outboard seats. The Victoris also complies with AIS-100 pedestrian protection norms, and is the first Maruti Suzuki to be offered with an ADAS suite on the top-spec trims.

Victoris is now among the Top 5 cars with highest BNCAP safety rating, with AOP scores less than only the Tata Harrier EV, Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e.
