As of July 2022, the Suzuki S-Presso sold in Southeast Asia and Latin America has not been independently crash-tested by ASEAN NCAP and Latin NCAP respectively.
The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso sold in India was tested by Global NCAP in 2020 with a driver's airbag, ABS and double front seatbelt reminders, and received a zero star rating for adult protection and two stars (out of a maximum five) for child occupant protection. The front passenger's neck showed unacceptably high risk of serious injury during the frontal offset crash resulting in the loss of all points for the test. High chest compression and an unstable passenger compartment resulted in chest protection being rated poor, which would have limited the result to one star nevertheless. The footwell ruptured during the test. The test car had only a static two-point lap belt in the rear centre seat and did not offer ISOFIX anchorages. [30] [31] [32] Legislative requirements in January 2022 required all Indian cars including the S-Presso to be fitted with two frontal airbags.

The S-Presso sold in India is equipped a driver frontal airbag and ABS brakes. A front passenger airbag, seatbelt pretensioners and ISOFIX child seat anchorages were optional, the first two being made standard in early 2022. Updated versions of the S-Presso offer ESC on variants with an AGS option. [34] The S-Presso does not offer side airbags or tyre-pressure monitoring.
In H2 2022 the S-Presso for India was again crash tested by Global NCAP under its new protocol (based on Latin NCAP 2016) which now includes side-impact crash tests, but it was rated 1 star for adult occupants and 0 for toddlers.

An S-Presso unit made in India but tested by Global NCAP for African markets was awarded 3 stars for adult occupants and 2 stars for child occupants in H1 2022 (similar to Latin NCAP 2013). [35] This version was equipped with two airbags and seatbelt pretensioners as standard. In comparison to the earlier test, neck protection for the front passenger was rated the maximum possible 'good', indicating low risk of serious injury. Dummy readings of chest compression to the driver showed moderate risk of serious injury and the passenger compartment became unstable, resulting in chest protection being rated 'weak', just above the limit to not be capped at one star. Suzuki refused to select child seats for the test but even using the restraints selected by Global NCAP there was excessive head excursion for the three year-old and chest deceleration for both dummies.
The updated S-Presso for Africa has ISOFIX anchorages and optional ESC. [36]
