Crash Test Drastically Changed When Car Did Not
I was turned off from buying Suzuki SX4 due to poor ratings for the rear seat
(2 stars) in the 2012 model year and the 2013 model year. I had assumed
that older models would have similar or worse scores. But then I saw that the
car's 2010 ratings (and before) were actually good (4 stars.) How can this be
if there was no redesign (2013 marked the new generation, not 2012) and
there were no structural changes to the car? In fact, I think there were
additional safety features.
Is this:
1. a two star margin of error?
2. a change in measure or in the testing?
3. an actual change in the safety of the car?
I am assuming the last one and looking for models from 2010 and before.
