Test details:

The Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 was introduced in the 2001 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled. The driver's seat tipped toward the B-pillar. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the left tibia indicate that injury to the lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.

This is actually very good, the passenger area remains intact and no foreign objects penetrate the space occupied by the passengers and driver. In Euro Ncap rating this is five stars, and Euro Ncap ratings are the some of the toughest.

i know it wasn't the best performance but the rating is "good" so it did just well enough

bug off

Which doesn't change the fact that they were wrong? If you were smart enough to watch the video you'd see for yourself ...

[alexkvaskov]

it was introduced in 2001 smart one

[alexkvaskov]

okay first of all, "good" is the rating the iihs gave it

if you were smart enough to read the description you would see
