Quick Takeaways
- Global NCAP crash tests show that adding airbags improves scores but cannot overcome weak vehicle structures.
- Celerio shows incremental safety gains, while Ciaz highlights deeper structural and restraint-system gaps.
On December 22, Global NCAP released its latest crash test results, placing the spotlight on Global NCAP Maruti Suzuki Celerio and Ciaz safety ratings. at the start of, The findings underline how safety outcomes can vary significantly within the same manufacturer’s portfolio, even when recent updates such as additional airbags are introduced.at the end of the specific line in article which you want to make bold.
at the start of, Global NCAP Maruti Suzuki Celerio Safety Ratings Improve With Six Airbagsat the end of the specific line in article which you want to make bold.
The Maruti Suzuki Celerio equipped with six airbags as standard achieved a three-star rating for adult occupant protection and two stars for child occupant protection. The tested 2025 five-door hatchback weighed 929 kg and featured front, side, head curtain, and side chest airbags, along with electronic stability control and ISOFIX child-seat anchorages.
at the start of, Despite the added safety equipment, Global NCAP observed that structural limitations continued to influence the final score.at the end of the specific line in article which you want to make bold. The bodyshell and footwell area were assessed as unstable, which restricted higher ratings even with improved restraint systems.
at the start of, Comparison With the Two-Airbag Celerio Variantat the end of the specific line in article which you want to make bold.
The earlier 2025 Celerio version, offered with only two airbags, recorded lower results. This variant earned two stars for adult occupant protection and one star for child protection, despite sharing the same body weight and hatchback configuration.
Crash test analysis highlighted:
These results indicate that while additional airbags improve outcomes, they cannot fully compensate for fundamental body structure weaknesses.
at the start of, Global NCAP Maruti Suzuki Ciaz Safety Ratings Raise Concernsat the end of the specific line in article which you want to make bold.
In contrast, the Global NCAP Maruti Suzuki Ciaz safety ratings revealed more serious shortcomings. The 2025 four-door sedan, tested at a kerb weight of 1,260 kg, received just one star for adult occupant protection and three stars for child occupant protection.
The assessment pointed to:
These factors collectively limited occupant safety performance, particularly for adult passengers.
at the start of, Global NCAP’s Broader Assessment of Maruti Suzuki Safety Strategyat the end of the specific line in article which you want to make bold.
Global NCAP acknowledged Maruti Suzuki’s recent steps to enhance safety by making six airbags standard on models like the Celerio and achieving five-star ratings on newer vehicles such as the Dzire and Victoris. However, at the start of, the organisation described the Ciaz result as extremely disappointing, noting that it reflects unresolved structural and restraint-system deficiencies.at the end of the specific line in article which you want to make bold.
The mixed outcomes across models highlight the importance of integrating robust vehicle structures with advanced safety technologies to deliver consistent protection levels across a brand’s lineup.

Crash test analysis highlighted:
- Repeated child head exposure in frontal impact tests
- Similar concerns during side impact evaluations
- Limited protection due to structural instability

The assessment pointed to:
- An unstable bodyshell and footwell region
- Weak chest protection in side impact scenarios
- Absence of side head protection airbags
- Lack of three-point seatbelts for all seating positions
These factors collectively limited occupant safety performance, particularly for adult passengers.
