In the latest NCAP tests, Maruti Swift, Ignis and S-Presso managed to score 1 star each. With these results, the abysmal performance of popular Maruti products continues. All of these vehicles regularly feature in the top 10 best-selling cars in the country month after month. However, apart from the Brezza compact SUV, no car in the Maruti’s camp has a decent safety score on the NCAP tests. These latest results confirm that it is likely to remain this way going forward as well.
