New Dzire Is India’s First Compact Sedan To Secure 5 Stars In Bharat NCAP

GaadiWaadi -

Under the adult occupant protection category, the Dzire accumulated 29.46 points out of a total 32 while the child occupant score stood at 41.57 out of 49

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire has broken new ground in India’s sedan segment by becoming the first of its kind to receive a 5-star crash safety rating under the Bharat NCAP protocol – a certain milestone in a space often dominated by SUVs on the safety charts. Under the adult occupant protection category, the new Dzire accumulated 29.46 points out of a total 32.

The child occupant score stood at 41.57 out of 49, positioning it among the highest scoring models tested so far for rear seat safety. One of the more rigorous evaluations involved the side pole impact scenario where the car offered strong resistance across all monitored regions – no critical lapses were reported in occupant protection for that test.

The new generation Maruti Suzuki Dzire made its market debut in November 2024 and it has been well received by customers. It was even the most sold PV in India last month. Back to the rating, in a separate side impact test using a moving barrier, head and abdominal areas were rated as well-protected while chest impact resistance was noted as adequate.

The frontal offset barrier crash revealed mostly positive outcomes. Both driver and front passenger had good shielding for head and legs but the chest protection for the driver alone was flagged as marginal – a dent in an otherwise well-rounded performance. Child safety results came through a combination of dynamic crash trials and child restraint system evaluations.

The Dzire posted a near-maximum dynamic test score of 23.57 out of 24 while CRS installation compatibility returned a perfect 12 out of 12. The remaining category – vehicle-level assessments such as labelling, warnings and seat anchorage visibility delivered a lower 6 out of 13. The cumulative results were enough to seal a 5-star overall rating, placing the Dzire in a safety league that no other Indian compact sedan has entered yet.

While its sub-four-metre footprint might suggest limited capability, its structure and restraint systems have demonstrated resilience under a variety of crash loads. The Bharat NCAP publication of the results adds weight to the growing push for better safety compliance in mass-market cars, particularly in the compact category.
