Today we are going to talk about the car that has set a new benchmark for road safety in India – the new Maruti Dzire. Recently, this sedan was included in India’s Bharat NCAP crash test and it has become the first sedan to get full 5 stars in it.
I was also shocked to hear this news that a brand like Maruti, which was known only for mileage and budget cars till now, has now reached the top in terms of safety as well. In this article, I will tell you what safety features the new Dzire has, what is its price, how much mileage it gives and what is the real meaning of 5-star rating.
Maruti Dzire: Now a symbol of safety too
Maruti cars have always been the first choice of middle class families. But people have been a little hesitant about safety. Now the new Dzire has given a strong answer to all those questions. In the Bharat NCAP test, this car not only got 5 stars for adult protection (AOP), but it also got full 5 stars in child safety (COP). This is the first time that a Maruti sedan has got such great results, and this can prove to be a big turning point for the company.
It is important for you to know that Bharat NCAP is India’s own safety testing system, which tests vehicles keeping in mind Indian roads and traffic conditions. In this test, Dzire has performed well in both frontal and side crash situations, which makes it clear that this car has become a strong option for the safety of your family.
What does a 5-star rating mean?
The most interesting thing that came out while reading the India NCAP report was that the new Dzire scored 29.46 out of 32 for adult safety and 41.57 out of 49 for child safety. This means that not only is the structure of this car strong, but its safety features are also quite effective.
In the front crash test, the driver and co-passenger’s neck and head got good protection. Although the driver’s chest got ‘marginal’ protection, but this is also considered quite good.
In the side crash test, the Dzire scored 15.29 out of 16 – proving that the side structure is very strong and offers complete protection in case of an accident.
This car is not behind in terms of child safety either. Due to ISOFIX child seat anchors and better seat belt system, children also get complete safety coverage.
This is a positive signal not only for Maruti but for the entire Indian auto sector that now people are taking not just mileage but also safety seriously before buying a car.

Price and Mileage:
Now let’s talk about the thing that is the first question of every Indian – “Kitna deti hai?” The on-road price of the new Dzire starts from around ₹ 7.2 lakh and goes up to ₹ 11 lakh for the top model. In this price range, this car competes with sedans like Honda Amaze, Hyundai Aura and Tata Tigor.
Dzire is not behind in terms of mileage either. Its 1.2-litre petrol engine gives a mileage of up to 25.71 km/l, and the CNG variant goes up to 33.73 km/kg. That is, if you are looking for a long-lasting vehicle at a low cost, then Dzire is a great option.
Design and Interior: Premium looks and great features
Safety is amazing, but its exterior and interior look has also become very premium now. The new grille, sharp LED headlights and stylish alloy wheels give it a fresh and modern look.
Looking inside, the 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, electric sunroof and dual-tone dashboard give it a very luxurious feel.
The most special thing for me was its 360° camera and rear AC vents, which are not usually found in cars of this price range. This means that this car is not only safe, but is also very fun to drive.
Maruti’s changing thinking about safety
Maruti’s thinking has changed a lot in the last few years, especially with regard to safety. Earlier its cars were stuck in ratings between 0 to 4 stars, but now the new Dzire has created history by getting 5 stars – that too in both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP.
Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari himself congratulated Maruti and said that this is a matter of pride for “Made-in-India” vehicles. It is clear from this that Maruti is going to bring even safer cars in the coming time.
The new Maruti Dzire has proved that safety, style and budget – all three can be achieved in one car. Its 5-star safety rating, excellent mileage and premium features make it a smart choice for every family.
If you too want a sedan car that is within budget, safe and fun to drive – then definitely try Dzire. After all, safety is not an option, it is a necessity.
