Suzuki: Providing a commitment to your safety and peace of mind

Safety your family can depend on.

Did you know that Suzuki vehicles have earned a place in the highest possible overall rating category for crash tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)? Out of potential scores of “Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Poor,” the XL-7 and Aerio were both awarded the rating of “Good” in the IIHS 40-mph frontal offset crash test. In addition, Aerio received a “Best Pick” rating from the IIHS. This designation and the high ratings are especially impressive when you consider that some of the vehicles that scored as well, or even worse, cost a lot more. Additionally, the Grand Vitara, Vitara 5-Door and Vitara 3-Door performed well in other crash tests.

Additionally:

  • One unit steel chassis
  • Crash Absorbing unit (Crumble Zone)
  • Steel side impact beams
  • Head-impact protection structure

 

Anti-lock brakes

Keyless remote entry
This feature’s purpose is one of both convenience and safety. Drivers of all Suzuki SUVs, as well as Aerio GS and SX models, can quickly lock and unlock the vehicle’s doors from outside the vehicle through the convenient use of a remote key fob.

Second-generation airbags
All 2009 Suzuki vehicles feature second-generation airbags which deploy with less force than first-generation airbags.
