The 2024 Maruti Dzire has already started making headlines ahead of its launch by becoming the first Maruti car to receive a 5-star safety rating from the Global NCAP. In the crash tests, the new Dzire scored 31.24 out of 34 in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and 39.20 out of 49 in Child Occupant Protection (COP), earning a 5-star rating for AOP and a 4-star rating for COP, respectively. Here is a detailed look at its crash test results:

Adult Occupant Protection

Frontal Offset Deformable Barrier Test: 13.239 points

Side Movable Deformable Barrier Test: 16.00 points

In the frontal impact test, the driver’s chest received ‘marginal’ protection, while the passenger’s chest had ‘adequate’ protection. Both the driver’s and passenger’s knees and heads got ‘good’ protection, and their tibias showed ‘adequate’ protection. The footwell and bodyshell were rated as stable, meaning they can handle further loadings.

In the side impact test, the head, chest, abdomen, and pelvis all received ‘good’ protection. During the side pole impact, the head, abdomen, and pelvis got ‘good’ protection, but the chest only received 'marginal’ protection.

The child seat for the 3-year-old dummy was placed forward-facing which provided full protection to the head and neck, but limited protection to the neck during the frontal impact test.

The 18-month-old dummy’s seat was installed facing rearwards which prevented head exposure and protected it fully.

Side Impact Test (50 kmph)

The child restraint systems (CRS) of both dummies provided full protection during the side impact test.
