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.

Though it has been long overdue for an upgrade, the Tata Tigor, with a four-star adult and three-star kid safety rating, now ranks among India's safest sedans, directly behind the Dzire. When the vehicle was tested in 2020, it received this rating with only two airbags installed.
