Overview
- The assessment used a 61 kWh GLX left-hand-drive e‑Vitara, with Euro NCAP stating the results apply to every Suzuki e‑Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser electric variant.
- Sub-scores were 77% for Adult Occupant protection (31/40), 85% for Child Occupant protection (42/49), 79% for Vulnerable Road Users, and 72% for Safety Assist.
- Testers reported good protection for driver and passenger knees and femurs, strong whiplash results front and rear, and solid child dummy performance in frontal and side impacts.
- Weak spots included driver chest protection rated weak in parts, marginal rear head protection, no child‑presence detection, and no cyclist dooring protection, with pedestrian head protection poor near windscreen pillars and screen edges.
- Maruti has begun shipping the Gujarat-built EV to Europe, the model is already on sale in the UK, and Toyota’s rebadged Urban Cruiser is due in European showrooms soon.
