Maruti Suzuki Dzire earns 5-Star Bharat NCAP rating

Big news for car buyers: the new Maruti Suzuki Dzire just became the first Indian sedan to earn a five-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari presented the award, while the new Baleno followed closely with four stars.

TL;DR

All MSIL cars will have 6 airbags by year-end

Maruti Suzuki says all its passenger cars will come with six airbags by year-end, and features like Electronic Stability Programme are already standard. MSIL's Managing Director called Bharat NCAP's tests "stringent vehicle testing protocols comparable with global safety protocols," and Gadkari hopes this move inspires other brands to make safer cars too, saying it'll help build more awareness about road safety in India.
