| I need to point out that the reason for the bad crash test results of the Swift is not because of the HEARTECT platform. It’s because of the lack of Suzuki TECT Body. Many users in the Team-BHP forum even in the new Wagon R forum are bashing the latest platform without knowing the real reason. All cars with Suzuki TECT Body will pass the NCAP test and all cars sold in the Nexa showrooms come with the Suzuki TECT Body as given in the brochure. You need to point out this difference. The new Swift or the new Ertiga do not have a Suzuki TECT Body and so they will fail the test for structural stability. The Brezza on the other hand has Suzuki TECT Body and that's why it passed the NCAP test. The same TECT is available with all cars sold in Nexa showrooms. And so I am sure that they all will pass the NCAP test if tested. |

All three parts of this statement are unsupported by any proof: 1. HEARTECT platform is already very weak ... Maruti says otherwise. 2. ...and add to that the Wagon body ... WagonR is NOT based on HEARTECT platform. 3. which is already very unstable... any supporting proof? |

| The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Suzuki showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier impact, protection of the driver was rated as good except for the chest, protection of which was adequate. |
| The protection offered to the driver and passenger head and neck was good. Driver chest showed weak protection while passenger chest showed adequate protection. Driver’s knees showed marginal protection and passenger’s knees marginal and adequate protection as they could impact with dangerous structures behind the dashboard supported by the Tranfascia tube. The bodyshell was rated as unstable and it was not capable of withstanding further loadings. The car offers standard SBR for driver but it does not meet the minimum requirements ABS. |

As I can see, all cars in their NEXA lineup claim to have TECT body in place, whereas in the Arena lineup - Brezza is the only exceptional case. |

But they don't claim Suzuki TECT body for Ertiga, as compare to Brezza and all of their NEXA cars. |
