Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Shines With 5-Star Crash Rating in Bharat NCAP

The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara has received a five star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP crash tests, giving the electric SUV a strong start in the Indian market and placing it among the safest new models on sale today

E Vitara’s Five Star Bharat NCAP Achievement

The latest Bharat NCAP results confirm that the e Vitara has reached the highest score possible under the updated testing rules. This recognition makes it the safest Maruti Suzuki model ever tested by the Indian agency

Earlier this same year, the SUV also secured a five star rating in Euro NCAP which means it now holds top safety certifications in both domestic and international assessments. This level of recognition shows that Maruti Suzuki’s approach to designing a safe electric SUV is working well in real-world conditions and in controlled crash labs

Adult Occupant Protection Score Of 31.49/32

The e Vitara delivered an excellent performance in the Adult Occupant Protection section, earning 31.49 out of 32 points. The SUV was tested in two major crash situations — a frontal offset deformable barrier impact and a side-impact crash

In both tests, the e Vitara showed strong structural behavior and smart energy absorption. The results showed that key body parts like the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and legs received “good” levels of protection. The testing team also reviewed how the airbags deploy during these crashes, and the SUV showed well-timed inflation and good coverage across the cabin

Strong Results In Side And Pole Impact

One of the most demanding evaluations is the side-impact and pole-impact assessment. Here too, the e Vitara performed at the top level. The side impact score was flawless, while the pole-impact test showed that the structure remained stable with good occupant protection. This means that passengers sitting near the doors would be well protected in real-world side crashes which are often severe

Child Occupant Protection: 43/49 Points

The e Vitara maintained its strong performance in the Child Occupant Protection category, securing 43 out of 49 points. Two child dummies — one representing an 18 month-old and another representing a 3-year-old — were placed in rear-facing child-restraint seats during the crash tests

These child seats helped the SUV achieve full points in the dynamic crash tests, which check how safely a child is held in a sudden crash. Bharat NCAP also tests how easy it is to install different child seats in the vehicle using ISOFIX points or seat belts. The e Vitara received a perfect CRS installation score, showing that it supports multiple child-seat types with no complications

Safety Features Offered In The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara

Maruti Suzuki has equipped the e Vitara with a long list of standard safety features on every variant. These features play a direct role in helping the SUV reach a five-star score

Key safety features include:

• Electronic Stability Control, which helps maintain traction
• Seven airbags, including side and curtain bags
• Pedestrian protection systems
• Seat belt reminders for all seats
• Side head protection technology
• Tyre pressure monitoring system
• Parking sensors and a 360-degree camera
• Level-2 ADAS, which adds driver assistance systems like lane support and forward-collision alerts
• ISOFIX child-seat mounts

These features work with the vehicle’s strong body structure to provide a balanced and secure ride for all passengers, whether in daily travel or in emergency situations

What This Five-Star Rating Means For Buyers

The five-star Bharat NCAP rating proves that the e Vitara is more than just an electric SUV. It is a product made with careful attention to passenger safety, child safety, and real-world crash situations

For buyers, the score brings extra confidence because:

• The e Vitara is Maruti Suzuki’s safest model tested so far
• It has top ratings from both Euro NCAP and Bharat NCAP, something very few vehicles in India can claim
• The SUV combines solid crash performance with modern driver-assistance features

Its results show that safety has become a core focus for Maruti Suzuki’s future models, especially in the electric-vehicle space
