On the child safety front, the Ignis achieved a low score because Suzuki did not recommend a child restraint system for the test. Global NCAP considers that car manufacturers are responsible for all occupants in the car and for this reason they must always recommend the child restraint system to be used in the test. When they decline to do so, the car manufacturer is not awarded points during the test.
