New Maruti Suzuki Dzire earns 5-star rating in Global NCAP safety test

Meet the first Maruti Suzuki vehicle to score top marks in the Global NCAP Safety assessment, the new-generation Dzire. The compact sedan scored a five-star rating for adult and child occupancy safety. After releasing the Dzire’s crash test results, David Ward, Executive President of the Towards Zero Foundation said, “The new Dzire’s five-star rating sets a significant safety benchmark for Maruti Suzuki compared to the previous version of this model and others from Maruti we have tested.” He further added, “We are optimistic that going forward Maruti will seek to achieve this high level of safety performance across their model range. If they do, it will be a vehicle safety game changer for Indian consumers.”

Maruti Suzuki will be launching the new fourth-generation Dzire on November 11. 

Global NCAP safety test: New Dzire vs Old

Maruti Suzuki’s new Dzire structure and footwell area were rated as stable and can withstand further loadings. The new sedan is packed with safety features and comes standard with 6 airbags, 3-point seat belts for all seats, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Hill Hold Assist, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat anchorages and ABS with EBD. The chest of the driver dummy in the frontal test showed marginal protection. The pole test showed full head protection, and the side impact test showed full protection for the adult occupants. Hence, the new Dzire scored a 5-star rating for both adult and child occupants. The 18-month-old dummy showed full protection, and the three-year-old dummy showed good protection to the head and chest while neck protection could be improved by installing a rearward-facing CRS. Side impact protection for child occupants showed full protection.

The outgoing third-generation Dzire had earlier received two stars for adult occupant protection and two stars for child occupant protection. This model offers two frontal airbags and ESC as standard.  The structure and footwell area were rated as unstable. The side impact test showed weak protection to the dummy chest and the pole test was not performed as this model does not offer side head protection, even as an option.
