2025 Suzuki Swift Gets 3-Star ANCAP Safety Rating, an Improvement from 1-Star
The Suzuki Swift, one of the world’s most popular hatchbacks, has received an improved safety score in Australia. The Australia-spec 2025 Suzuki Swift ANCAP crash safety rating revised to 3 Stars, a significant jump from the previous 1-Star rating it received earlier. This change, which now puts the Swift’s ANCAP score in line with its Euro NCAP rating, is a result of a few key safety upgrades made to the new models. This new Suzuki Swift NCAP rating is a major victory for the popular hatchback.
Why the Rating Was Revised
The new 3-Star rating applies to all Suzuki Swift models manufactured from August 2025 onwards. According to the report, the company made several safety upgrades to the Australia-spec model, which allowed it to achieve a much better score. These changes were made without any alterations to the pricing or other specifications of the car. The new rating is a welcome change for buyers who were previously concerned about the car’s 1-star safety rating. The revised Suzuki Swift NCAP results provide crucial peace of mind.

Key Safety Features
The new 2025 Suzuki Swift comes with a host of safety features as standard. It is equipped with frontal, side, and curtain airbags, but it does not have a center airbag. The car also features advanced safety technology, including Auto Emergency Braking (AEB) for car-to-car, junctions, and pedestrians, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and a speed assist system. However, it’s important to note that the Swift does not have AEB for backover situations. This new suite of features contributes significantly to the improved Suzuki Swift NCAP score.

What This Means for the Indian Market
While the Australia-spec 2025 Suzuki Swift has received a revised rating, the Maruti Suzuki Swift sold in India is a different model and is yet to be crash-tested by agencies like Global NCAP or Bharat NCAP. The latest Indian-spec Swift is a new model, and it will be interesting to see how it performs in crash tests once it is assessed by these agencies. The new rating for the international model sets a positive precedent and raises expectations for the Indian-spec car’s safety performance.
