Maruti Suzuki Baleno Secures 4 Stars in Bharat NCAP Crash Test

Maruti Suzuki Baleno has secured an impressive 4-star safety rating at Bharat New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). 

The premium hatchback was tested in two configurations—one equipped with six airbags and the other with two. However, the safety rating applies to all Baleno variants, including the Delta AGS and Alpha AGS trims tested. 

The Baleno tested under Bharat NCAP comes equipped with a host of safety features, including Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Hold Assist, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and front seatbelts with pre-tensioners and force limiters.

Additional safety technologies include a 360-degree parking camera, automatic inside rear-view mirror (IRVM), speed-sensitive door locking, ISOFIX child seat mounts, reverse parking sensors with camera, three-point seatbelts for all passengers, and a high-speed warning alert.

Notably, Bharat NCAP’s assessment involved rigorous testing protocols, such as frontal-offset and side-impact crash tests, using child dummies aged 18 months and 3 years.
