Global NCAP’s crash test protocols assess frontal and side impact protection for all models, as well as Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

The Hyundai Verna was assessed in its most basic passive safety specification with 6 airbags and ESC as standard. The model achieved a five star rating for adult and child occupants although the structure was unstable. After the side impact test a Child Restraint System (CRS) failure was noted.
