2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire gets game-changing 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP
In a step that is sure to have a major impact, Maruti Suzuki’s new 2024 Dzire has reached an impressive milestone – becoming the brand’s first model to receive a solid 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP.
After its launch, the fourth-generation Maruti Dzire not only successfully passed the Global NCAP test, but also received a 5-star rating for adult occupant protection and a respectable 4-star rating for child occupant safety. This is Maruti’s debut in the elite five-star safety club and its statement is quite clear.
Maruti Suzuki’s changing safety reputation
Maruti Suzuki doesn’t have a stellar record when it comes to safety. Some of their popular models, such as the Baleno and S-Presso, received less than ideal 0-star scores in past Global NCAP tests. Considering Maruti’s reputation as the go-to car brand for families, these scores hurt their image and customer trust. But how will Dzire perform in 2024? This is a refreshing plot twist and shows that Maruti is taking consumer safety seriously.
Key safety features of 2024 Maruti Dzire
The 2024 Maruti Dzire was not unprepared when it was tested by Global NCAP. Here’s a quick look at the safety specifications of its packaging:
- six airbags Comprehensive protection in the event of a collision
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Helps maintain control in tricky driving conditions
- three point safety belt All seats have reminders, making safety a shared responsibility
- ISOFIX anchor point Located on the rear outer seats to ensure the child seat is securely locked
- Front seat belt pretensioners with load limiter Gives you more peace of mind when suddenly stopping
- obey UN 127 Pedestrian Protection Standardadding another layer of care to everyone on the road
The model tested this time was made for the Indian market and Maruti did not cut any corners.
adult occupant protection
In the adult occupant protection test, the 2024 Dzire scored 31.24 points (out of 34 points). According to Global NCAP, the driver and passenger’s heads and necks are well protected, although the driver’s chest has some slight vulnerability. But what about on the passenger side? It was a smooth ride with no signs of any harm. Structural integrity remains stable, with stable upper and lower body area ratings.
child occupant protection
In terms of child protection, the 2024 Dzire scored a commendable 39.20 points (out of 42 points). This forward-facing child seat for 3-year-olds uses ISOFIX anchors to protect against frontal collisions. The rear-facing seating position is also great for babies up to 18 months old to prevent head injuries. Both restraint systems remain calm under pressure and provide adequate safety.
Global NCAP’s review of Dzire 2024
David Ward, CEO of the Towards Zero Foundation, was not shy about the praise, saying, “The new Dzire has a 5-star rating compared to the previous version of the model and other Maruti models. Maruti Suzuki sets important safety benchmarks Global NCAP has tested.
