A Maruti Suzuki dealership created a video comparing the anti-pinch feature of the Suzuki Victoris with another model. A man placed a banana in the tailgate of a competitor's car to test the safety mechanism. The door, however, closed completely, crushing the banana.
The second test involved the Victoris. The man instructed viewers to imagine the banana as a finger. Upon contact with the banana, the door immediately stopped and reopened fully.
The video is reportedly a jab at Tata, an Indian domestic car manufacturer. While the first car wasn't explicitly named, the camera angle clearly revealed the Tata logo and the model name Sierra, a mid-size SUV.
According to Cartoq, the video's findings are inconclusive. Anti-pinch feature calibration varies significantly among manufacturers and models. Some systems are highly sensitive, stopping almost instantly upon detecting an obstacle.
The effectiveness of the anti-pinch system also depends on the object's rigidity. While the Sierra crushed the banana, another online video showed a similar test using a metal bottle. This test extended beyond the tailgate to include window glass and sunroofs.
Both the door and glass stopped upon contact with the bottle, despite a noticeable force being applied. This suggests that the system responds to objects of a certain rigidity.
Another video, also featuring the Tata Sierra, showed a man testing the tailgate with his arm, which caused the door to stop and reopen.
Cartoq strongly advises against replicating these tests, as they carry a significant risk of injury.
