Maruti Jimny's safety rating: What you should know

The Maruti Jimny is nearing launch. But what's its safety rating? That's what everyone wants to know!

The Indian 5-door Jimny has not been tested by anyone yet. That will take quite some time.

But the 3-door Jimny - already being sold abroad - was tested by EuroNCAP, ANCAP and JNCAP

[{"selector":"#anim-a8d07fca-7adf-4570-b574-85fad87bf8de [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(50.33292363885627%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

That's Europe, Australia, NZ and Japan. How much did it score in those crash tests?

Euro NCAP - 3 Stars ANCAP - 3 Stars JNCAP - 4 Stars

[{"selector":"#anim-a96793c3-56cf-47e1-8e34-797ebb88c729 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(22.393993129003608%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Overall, the 3-door Suzuki Jimny was praised for crash performance and safety equipment

But was criticised for lack of driver assistance features and pedestrian safety

The 5-door Jimny is exclusive to India, and crash tests usually happen several months after launch. We will just have to wait!

[{"selector":"#anim-35e7ef5b-8a05-41eb-a09e-d1ee64e6c45f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Official release will happen in May. Two variants for India - Alpha and Zeta. Both will have 4WD and AT, manual transmissions
