Initial data indicated that the new-gen Hyundai Tucson won’t arrive in South America for another two years. As a result, Latin NCAP bought the previous-generation model at the beginning of the year and set out to see what it’s made of in a crash-testing session.
Most new car customers take safety for granted these days, but depending on the selected vehicle and where they live, they could be seriously injured or worse in the event of an accident.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno was offered in Europe, with 6-airbags and ESC as standard, while the model in Latin America is not offered with side body and side head airbags (curtain airbags) and ESC as standard.
