    Maruti Suzuki has been working hard as the S-Cross's July launch inches closer, and it looks like everything is coming along rather well for this highly-anticipated car. ASEAN NCAP released the crash-test results of the Suzuki S-Cross yesterday, and the car has scored well on the test.

    The agency used an S-Cross manufactured at Suzuki's manufacturing facility in Hungary, and the car in question sported specifications for the Malaysian and Singaporean market. Its list of standard safety provisions comprises 7 airbags, including that for the driver and front passenger, and ESC. The S-Cross received a 5-star rating for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), and a 4-star rating for Child Occupant Protection (COP) i.e. 81% compliance. The test, referred to as the frontal off-set crash test, involved crashing the car into a crushable aluminium barrier at 63Km/h.

    The Suzuki S-Cross's performance in the test means it is now the 'leading scorer for the SUV category under ASEAN NCAP'.

    This crash test rating will help Maruti Suzuki strengthen the Indian consumer's confidence after its Swift failed the NCAP test last year. The hatchback received a 0-star rating in the 64Km/h frontal collision test.

    As far as the car's specs go, Maruti Suzuki's first crossover will initially be offered with a choice of 2 diesel engines sourced from Fiat - a 1.3-litre multijet and 1.6-litre multijet. While the 1.3-litre motor develops 89bhp and 200Nm of peak torque, the latter produces 118bhp and 320Nm. Its cabin will take cues from the Swift, and will get the same all-black dashboard.
