Suzuki Splash
The Suzuki Splash scored four stars for adult occupant protection, losing a mark because of concerns the dashboard could damage the upper leg or knees of anyone in the front seats in an accident.
It scored three stars for child occupant protection, losing marks because it was not clear enough if the front-seat passenger airbag was enabled, the notice outling the dangers of using a front-facing child seat were not in all European languages and the presence of ISOFIX mounts wasn't clearly marked.
Although the Splash scored three stars for pedestrian protection and its front bumper was praised, it lost points because the front edge of the bonnet was criticised for causing injury in an impact.
