Front impact
In the frontal impact, the driver dummy's head bottomed out the airbag. Chest compression from seatbelt loading was greater for the passenger dummy than the driver and was used to calculate the adult occupant score.
Side impact
The SX4 scored full points for its protection in side impact.
Child occupant
A rearward-facing child restraint should not be placed in the front passnger's seat as the airbag for that seating position cannot be deactivated. The label warning against using a rearward-facing childseat in the passenger's seat was not available in the languages of some European countries and was not visible when the sun-visors were in use. It did not, therefore, meet Euro NCAP's requirements. Suzuki inform us that they will revise the content and positioning of their warning labels.
Pedestrian
The car's bumper fully complied with Euro NCAP's requirements for pedestrian protection as did much of the bonnet.
