Ahead of its launch on November 11, the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Dzire has achieved a major milestone of receiving a five-star Global NCAP crash test rating. A slew of safety features on the model has helped the sedan achieve a perfect rating for adult occupation and a near-perfect four-star rating for child occupants.

The new Dzire comes with six airbags as standard apart from several other safety-related highlights like Electronic Stability Control (ESC), ABS with EBD and 360-degree camera.

As per a press release by Global NCAP, Maruti Suzuki had voluntarily submitted its fourth-generation Dzire for the crash tests which assess vehicles on the basis of frontal and side impact protection, ESC as well as pedestrian protection and side pole impact protection. While Maruti Suzuki models have not fared too well in these tests in the past, prompting officials from the company to previously state that Maruti models meet with Indian safety standards, the Dzire’s performance in the Global NCAP tests is likely to go a long way in adding to the vehicle’s desirability. “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,” said David Ward, Executive President of the Towards Zero Foundation.
