Final Comments:

While the 2024 Suzuki Swift maintains its 3-star Euro NCAP rating, there are clear areas for improvement, particularly in adult and child occupant protection. The global spec model's ADAS features contribute positively to its safety assist score, but these are not available in all markets.
