Actually, Maruti Suzuki Wagon scored poorly in the NCAP crash tests and scored a rating of two stars for both adult and child protection. This was the report of the test conducted in 2019. The shell integrity of the car has been labeled as unstable.
The test showed that the car's front seatbelt pretensioners did not operate as required, causing severe potential injuries to the chest and knee area of the crash test dummies. The Wagon R's footwell area has also been rated as unstable as a result of possible knee and ankle related injuries. Thus, out of 17 in adult protection, it scored a mere 6.93.
The car even scored very poorly in child protection. During the test, the seat broke and impacted the car's roof. Having fixed seats would be a lot safer in any event, rather than seats installed using seatbelts.
