Maruti Suzuki Celerio Scores Three-Star Safety Rating in Global NCAP Crash Test

The Maruti Suzuki Celerio achieved a three-star safety rating in the Global NCAP crash tests, while the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz received a one-star rating. This indicates that the Celerio provides a significantly higher level of safety for its occupants compared to the Ciaz, which has been criticized for its structural instability and lack of adequate occupant protection features.

The Maruti Suzuki Victoris achieved a five-star rating due to its stable body structure and footwell area, which can withstand additional loads. It offers good protection across all body areas during frontal and side impacts, includes a Seat Belt Reminder for all positions, and features ISOFIX anchorages for child seats. Optional Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) enhance its safety capabilities further.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno with six airbags scored two stars in the Latin NCAP tests, which is lower than the Celerio's three-star rating in the Global NCAP tests. The Baleno's safety performance was notably improved with the addition of airbags, but it still lagged behind the Celerio's overall rating, indicating a need for further enhancements in safety features.

The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga received a one-star rating, with concerns raised about the instability of its bodyshell and footwell area during frontal impacts. The lack of side curtain airbags also limited its side impact performance. Child restraint systems showed mixed results, with some seats failing to adequately protect younger occupants during crashes.

The new Maruti Suzuki Dzire achieved a five-star safety rating, a significant improvement over its predecessor, which only received two stars. The new model features enhanced structural integrity, good protection across various body regions, and includes safety features such as six airbags, electronic stability control, and ISOFIX child seat anchor points, making it a safer choice for consumers.
