The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Description:
|
Certain passenger (111 MY 2002 Esteem, 777 MY 2002 Aerio, 2,368 MY 2003 Aerio) and sport utility (324 MY 2002 Grand Vitara, 274 MY 2003 Grand Vitara, 684 MY 2002 Grand Vitara XL-7, and 781 MY 2003 Grand Vitara xl-7) vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 212, ""windshield mounting."" The windshield may not be properly secured to the vehicle body due to insufficient adhesion between the paint applied during the second-stage painting process and the paint applied during final-stage painting. If the windshield is not properly secured, it may be separated from the vehicle during a crash resulting in ejection of unbelted occupants, increasing the risk of severe injury or death. Dealers will inspect these vehicles. Vehicles that are found to have insufficient paint adhesion will either have the problem remedied by repainting, or will be replaced, or repurchased and destroyed. Owner notification is expected to begin during July 2003. Owners should contact Suzuki at 1-800-934-0934.

Summary:

Suzuki crosses over.
By John Matras, NewCarTestDrive.com
Not all areas of this great nation are served with a convenient Suzuki dealership, so buying one (and getting it serviced) may be an adventure, although Suzuki has plans to increase by half again its number of dealers.Everyone who buys a Suzuki Aerio SX will do so for his or her own reason. Some will dig the funky styling, some will go for the utility of a wagon (or small SUV) combined with excellent fuel economy, while others will be paging through tuner catalogs, figuring out how to make the SX go faster than it already does. Some will wait until wait until fall 2002, when viscous-coupling all-wheel drive becomes available. It's best that buyers be extroverts, however, and not shy, because until there are a lot of Aerios on the road they will be drawing a lot of stares. |
|
Overview:
|
Suzuki has introduced an all-new vehicle called the Aerio. The Aerio is among the new class of crossover vehicles that are a blend between two different kinds of vehicles. Suzuki calls the Aerio SX a "sport crossover" vehicle, a cross between a sport sedan and, well, something more versatile. A minivan? SUV? Wagon? We're not sure, but it's certainly different, much like the new Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe, and similar to the Ford Focus ZX3 and ZX5 and Mazda Protege5. Regardless of what you call these cars, they are more entertaining than a station wagon, but have similar cargo capacity. The Suzuki Aerio comes as a sedan as well. To a certain extent, the Aerio is Suzuki's replacement for the Esteem (which remains on sale through August, 2002). The Suzuki Esteem has been an acceptably nice small car, offered in sedan and wagon form, both handsome in a conventional way. But it has not been a runaway sales success, restricted by both a limited dealership network and the difficulty of getting noticed in a crowded marketplace. The Aerio is more likely to get noticed.
