In the Child Occupant Protection assessment, the Dzire scored 39 out of 49 points. The child seat for a 3-year-old was installed facing forward with ISOFIX and a top tether, providing full protection during frontal and side impacts. The rearward-facing seat for an 18-month-old also provided comprehensive protection in frontal impacts, effectively preventing head exposure.
ISOFIX anchorage is standard on the outboard seats of the second row, enabling secure installation of child restraint systems. The vehicle met all the requirements for child safety, achieving an impressive four-star rating in this category.
“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. Global NCAP warmly welcomes this milestone voluntary test result. 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.”
The Maruti Suzuki New Dzire’s impressive safety ratings highlight a significant step forward in prioritizing occupant protection for both adults and children. With its stable body structure, inclusion of essential safety features like ESC and SBR, and reliable child seat anchorage options, the Dzire sets a new benchmark in its segment. This robust performance not only reflects Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to meeting global safety standards but also adds substantial value for safety-conscious buyers in India.
