ASEAN NCAP assessed the front passenger compartment as stable in the frontal impact test. Data from the test dummy indicated that the chest was adequately protected, but the driver's lower right leg had poor protection.

This Indonesian-made SUV also achieved a positive result in SA with 15.27 points. The Suzuki Fronx recorded 6 points for Effective Braking & Avoidance, 4.5 points for Seatbelt Reminders, 3 points for Autonomous Emergency Braking, and 3 points for Advanced SATs.

Finally, for MS, a signature ASEAN NCAP test, it received 10 points. The assessment was based on Blind Spot Detection (4.8 points), headlights (1.2 points), and pedestrian protection (2 points).
