1. Maruti Suzuki Dzire

Soon, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire will make its debut in the nation with a fresh appearance. But only a few days before to its release, GNCAP revealed the new car's crash test results. Four stars for kid safety and five stars for adult safety are awarded to the new Dzire.

In contrast, the Dzire of the previous generation received just two stars in both categories. This adjustment is the result of standardizing ESC, adding four more airbags, and improving pedestrian safety. Additionally, this is the first Maruti Suzuki vehicle to receive a perfect score from GNCAP.
