Maruti Suzuki’s emphasis on safety
India’s largest car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki has now made 6 airbags available in all its Arena models-WagonR, Alto K10, Celerio and Eeco. These cars now join the Brezza, Swift and Dzire, which already had this feature. The six airbags (two front, two side and two curtain-type) provide all-round protection to all occupants in case of a collision. Apart from this, these cars also have features like 3-point seatbelts on all seats, a seatbelt alarm, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Hill Hold Assist (prevents the car from rolling over on a hill) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). These new features are very important for India’s modern roads and fast-moving expressways, where the need for strong safety measures is increasing.
Grand Vitara 2025: New features and hybrid option
Maruti Suzuki recently launched the 2025 Grand Vitara with a starting price of ₹ 11.42 lakh (ex-showroom price). The SUV now gets six airbags as standard across all variants. Apart from this, it also gets features like ESP, hill hold assist, ABS with EBD, disc brakes on all four wheels, ISOFIX points for child seat mounting and 3-point ELR seatbelts for all passengers. A new Delta+ Strong Hybrid model has also been added for the 2025 model, which is priced at ₹ 16.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This hybrid model runs more on less petrol and is also good for the environment. The Grand Vitara now also gets Suzuki’s ALLGRIP Select all-wheel-drive system, which comes with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Other new features include 8-way driver seat adjustment, LED cabin lighting, sunshade on the rear doors and automatic air purifier with PM 2.5 readout.
Combination of safety and low price
These cars from Maruti Suzuki are not only safe, but they are also not very expensive. The Alto K10 and Celerio, priced below ₹6 lakh (ex-showroom), are among the most affordable cars in India that offer 6 airbags. Models like the WagonR, Eeco and Brezza are also very popular among families and small businessmen. These cars also offer very good mileage—the Celerio gets 26 kmpl in petrol and 34.43 kmpl in CNG. The Swift and Dzire also offer mileage of 24-25 kmpl. These new features have come with a slight price hike (₹16,000-₹32,500 increase in Celerio), but it is well worth the safety.
Global NCAP Rating and Trust
Maruti Suzuki’s new generation Dzire has achieved a 5-star rating in the Global NCAP crash test, scoring 31.24/34 in adult safety and 39.20/49 in child safety. This is the first Maruti car to receive this rating. Models like Brezza and Swift have also been updated for better safety and experts believe that the updated Brezza can also get a 5-star rating. Although the Global NCAP rating of WagonR, Alto K10 and Eeco is still old (2-3 stars in 2019-2023), but new safety features can improve their score. This move by Maruti increases customer confidence.
Maruti’s future: Safety and electric vehicles
Maruti Suzuki has said that by the end of 2025, all its cars will have 6 airbags as standard. The company plans to launch two new SUVs in 2026—the e-Vitara, which will be Maruti’s first battery-powered electric vehicle (BEV), and a 7-seater SUV built on the Grand Vitara platform. The e-Vitara was showcased at the India Mobility Global Expo 2025 in India and is designed to have a range of over 500 km with 49kWh and 61kWh battery options. It will be manufactured in Gujarat and sold in over 100 countries. Maruti’s move not only promotes safety but also adopts eco-friendly technology.
Social impact
Maruti Suzuki cars are the choice of millions of families in India. Models like the Alto K10, which has sold 46 lakh units since 2000, and the WagonR are very popular among first-time car buyers. With 6 airbags and other safety features, these cars are now safer, boosting customer confidence. Maruti’s ARENA network is spread across the country, making service and parts easily available. This move helps improve road safety in India, especially as high-speed roads are expanding.
Conclusion: A new standard of safety and reliability
Maruti Suzuki has set a new benchmark in road safety by making 6 airbags standard in WagonR, Alto K10, Celerio, Eeco, Brezza, Swift and Dzire. These cars come with low price, good mileage and now better safety features. Updates to the Grand Vitara 2025 and future models like the e-Vitara show Maruti’s new thinking and customer-centric approach. If you want a car that is safe, not expensive and reliable, then these Arena cars from Maruti are a great option. This move not only enhances customer safety but also gives a new direction to road safety in India.
