QUESTIONS WITH ANCAP 🎤 Q: You gave the Suzuki Fronx a one-star rating and mentioned a seatbelt failure. What happened, and are significant component failures like this normal or rare? A: Significant component failures like this are not as rare as we would like. In the case of the Suzuki Fronx, the vehicle received a one-star ANCAP safety rating. This was influenced by its overall performance across the full range of ANCAP tests, as well as a serious seatbelt failure observed in the second row. During testing, the rear seatbelt mechanism failed, allowing the dummy in that seating position to travel forward unrestrained. While such a significant seatbelt failure is not common, it is something Suzuki needed to rectify, and it highlights the value of ANCAP’s independent testing in identifying critical safety failures.
