The latest Bharat NCAP crash test results highlight notable improvements in the Maruti Suzuki Baleno’s safety credentials, earning it 4 stars for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and 3 stars for Child Occupant Protection (COP). These scores apply to even its higher-spec variants equipped with six airbags, reflecting Maruti’s shift toward stronger safety standards.

Standard Safety Features in Top Variants

  • Dual front, side, and curtain 6 airbags
  • ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
  • Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
  • ISOFIX child seat mounts
  • Seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters
  • Rear parking sensors and camera
  • Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
  • Speed-sensing auto door locks and overspeed alert
  • 3-point seatbelt reminders for all passengers

While the Baleno impresses with a robust 4-star adult protection rating, child occupant protection remains a mid-tier 3-star, indicating room for improvement in child restraint dynamics. Nonetheless, the inclusion of six airbags and ESC as standard on higher trims brings its safety profile much closer to rivals in the premium hatchback segment.

Verdict of Maruti Suzuki Baleno

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno has crossed many a milestone in its successful journey in the market. The new Baleno has a wide range of new features. While a different Auto gearbox has taken some of the spirit away it'll appeal to the money conscious. So, it really hasn't remained true to the premium tag! But it is all the tech that has really made the Baleno a car for the present and even the future, one that is more than capable of taking on its popular rivals.
