It was rather more middling news for Suzuki and Renault though. Suzuki's new Celerio small car (which replaces the Alto) takes home a three-star score - not great, but respectable for what will be a very cheap car and one that, because it doesn't come with a curtain airbag, missed out on points by being ineligible for the side impact pole test.
Anything else?
The Renault Megane's four-star score would normally be a crashing disappointment for a company that made a major name for itself in recent year as a safety king, but actually it's an improvement - the Megane did get only three stars before Renault resubmitted it for another test.
