The newly launched Maruti Suzuki Dzire, has scored a five stars for adult and four stars for child occupant safety in Global NCAP crash tests.

The new DZire is the first vehicle in the company’s portfolio to achieve five stars in Global NCAP vehicle safety testing.

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.”

“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”, he added.
