The vehicle failed to protect its front seat dummies at all during a head on collision.
We explore what it takes to completely fail a crash test and what could make a modern car so unsafe.
Following is a transcript of the video.
Narrator: You're looking at a failed crash test. The car, a Maruti Suzuki S-Presso, received a rating of zero stars for failing to protect passengers in a head-on collision. It's one of many cars sold in markets with relaxed safety standards, such as India and South Africa. So, what exactly makes this car unsafe?
In the test, conducted by Global NCAP, the S-Presso was driven at 40 miles per hour into a metal barrier. The documented results revealed just how much damage the test dummies inside took. Red shows parts of the dummies that had little to no protection, and there's clearly a lot of red. What makes a car like the S-Presso so dangerous is the number of basic safety features it lacks.
