Key Safety Features of the 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire

The safety rating awarded to the Dzire can be credited to its well-rounded suite of safety features. The vehicle’s structure and footwell area received a "stable" classification, reflecting its capability to withstand greater impact forces. This rating indicates a durable build that is designed to enhance passenger safety.
Equipped with three-point seat belts for all seating positions, the new Dzire further incorporates i-Size anchor points, making it easier to install child seats securely. Standard across the vehicle, these features are intended to maximize both adult and child passenger safety, reinforcing Maruti Suzuki’s dedication to comprehensive occupant protection.
