This latest case of a vlogger ‘testing’ the build quality of Maruti Fronx using his hands is as stupid as it gets. NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) ratings have swiftly emerged as a crucial consideration for many prospective car buyers. Consequently, vehicles from Maruti Suzuki have faced criticism for performing poorly in these crash tests. Nevertheless, the growing prominence of NCAP has prompted certain car owners to conduct their own crash assessments. This may stem from a desire to assess build quality or to generate attention on social media platforms. However, regardless of the motivation, resorting to unconventional methods to test the build quality of Maruti Fronx, as depicted below, is simply imprudent.

Vlogger ‘Testing’ Build Quality of Maruti Fronx with Hands
This video comes from MasterMindVlogsOfficial on YouTube. The host has a Maruti Fronx. He approaches the vehicle and starts ‘testing’ the build quality and strength of the car by pressing various components using his bare hands. He presses the bonnet and fenders to conclude that the vehicle is strong. Then he moves onto the sides where he presses the door panels and even opens and closes the door to showcase the ‘thud’ sound. Finally, he moves onto the rear section. There, he presses the third rear quarter behind the rear window. All in all, he says that the build quality of the Fronx is decent.

Author’s Note
We strongly discourage forming judgments about a car’s durability based solely on videos like these. The most dependable approach to evaluate safety is through official NCAP testing, a standardized procedure specifically designed to accurately assess a car’s safety level. If you’re watching these videos for entertainment purposes, that’s acceptable. However, it’s essential not to make definitive conclusions about a car’s quality solely based on the viewpoints of such YouTubers. It’s important to encourage others to recognize this too, to avoid being misled by entertaining yet potentially misleading videos.
