Maruti Suzuki eVitara: 4-Star In Japan NCAP
As mentioned earlier, the Maruti Suzuki eVitara has scored a 4-star rating in Japan NCAP crash tests. Japan NCAP evaluates cars based on three primary categories: Preventive Safety (85.8 points), Collision Safety (100 points), and Emergency Call Systems (100 points). To achieve a complete 5-star rating, a vehicle needs to get an A-star rating in the Preventive Safety and Collision Safety categories. While the eVitara scored an A-rating in the former, it got a B-rating in the latter, leading it to achieve a 4-star safety rating.
