Features in this suite comprise automatic emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, curve speed reduction, adaptive cruise control, and lane keep assist, among others.

When effectively integrated, these have a substantial effect on reducing collision risks, hence, enhancing occupant safety. The Victoris also has a 360-degree camera setup that will aid low-speed manoeuvres. Passive Protection: Airbags, Brakes And StructureMaruti Suzuki puts a standard six-airbag package in this tested configuration, along with disc brakes on all four wheels and dual-channel ABS. Per scores from Global NCAP, this vehicle presents a strong survival space, offering effective load paths and a reinforced cabin structure. The combination of multiple airbags, together with a strong crash structure, and advanced braking technology leads to the Victoris having an impressive adult occupant protection rating. Child SafetyGlobal NCAP noted the Victoris’ strong child protection provisions which effectively include ISOFIX child seat mounts, clear child-seat instructions, and a number of restraint options. These features enabled scores for child occupant protection to be impressive. The COP result reflects both the quality of the physical anchor points and the correct child-restraint fitment that is available across tested variants.
