Overview

• ANCAP confirmed a four-star rating for the 2025 MG 3 covering MY25.5 cars built from April 30, 2025, after MG added a front‑centre airbag, a driver monitoring system and improved AEB performance, with the update based on Euro NCAP left‑hand‑drive testing.
• In the MG 3 frontal‑offset test the driver’s seat adjuster failed and the seat twisted, leading to a Poor driver‑leg protection result as ANCAP reviews how such component failures are treated and expects MG to implement a running fix and address vehicles already sold.
• Suzuki’s Swift for Australia earns three stars for vehicles built from August 2025 after aligning with Euro‑spec structural reinforcements and adding a driver monitoring system, with Suzuki stating there are no price changes.
• The Swift’s scores rise to 67% for adult occupant protection and 65% for child occupant protection, while safety assist reaches 55% locally due in part to the absence of intelligent speed assistance and the car still lacks a front‑centre airbag.
• MG says pricing is unchanged for the upgraded MG 3, which now records 74% adult, 75% child, 81% vulnerable road user and 70% safety assist scores and remains the top‑selling light car year‑to‑date in Australia.
