In India, these assessments are conducted under Bharat NCAP, which rates vehicles based on adult and child occupant protection performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno was put to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/bharat-ncap-india-car-crash-safety-test\/\">Bharat NCAP tests<\/a>. In the most recent crash test, it was given a 4-star rating in terms of adult occupant protection and a 3-star rating in terms of child occupant protection. The 6 airbag model achieved a rating of 26.52 out of 32 on adult safety and 34.81 out of 49 on child occupant safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison, earlier testing by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/global-ncap-explained\/\">Global NCAP<\/a> gave the 2-airbag version a 1-star rating (42.28% adult, 65.46% child). Later, under Latin NCAP, the upgraded 6-airbag model improved to 79.38% in adult protection (2-stars), with child protection remaining at 65.46%, reflecting significant safety enhancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n    <style>\r\n        .sp-card-wrapper { \r\n            margin: 40px auto; \r\n            border-radius: 20px; \r\n            overflow: hidden; \r\n            font-family: sans-serif; \r\n            background: #fff; \r\n            box-shadow: 0 15px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.18); \r\n            max-width: 700px; \/* Narrower width makes the stack feel tighter *\/\r\n            text-decoration: none;\r\n            display: block;\r\n            width: 100%;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-img-container { \r\n            width: 100%; \r\n            position: relative;\r\n            padding-top: 56.25%; \/* Fixed 16:9 ratio for a cinematic feel *\/\r\n            background: #f4f4f4;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-img-container img {\r\n            position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-fit: cover;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-footer { \r\n            padding: 30px; \r\n            background: #2e054e; \r\n            color: #fff !important; \r\n            text-align: center; \/* Centered layout for the stack *\/\r\n            display: flex;\r\n            flex-direction: column;\r\n            align-items: center;\r\n            gap: 15px;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-card-title { \r\n            font-size: clamp(28px, 5vw, 42px); \/* Much larger, prominent name *\/\r\n            margin: 0; \r\n            font-weight: 800; \r\n            color: #fff !important; \r\n            line-height: 1.1;\r\n            letter-spacing: -1px;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-btn { \r\n            background: #ed264f; \r\n            padding: 18px 40px; \r\n            border-radius: 10px; \r\n            font-weight: 900; \r\n            color: #fff !important; \r\n            font-size: 16px; \r\n            text-transform: uppercase; \r\n            letter-spacing: 1px; \r\n            width: 100%;\r\n            max-width: 300px; \/* Prevents button from being too wide on desktop *\/\r\n            box-sizing: border-box;\r\n            box-shadow: 0 4px 15px rgba(237, 38, 79, 0.3);\r\n        }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n\r\n    <a href='https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/used-baleno-cars\/s\/?utm_source=BalenoSafetyRating&utm_medium=BlogCard' target='_blank' class='sp-card-wrapper'>\r\n        <div class='sp-img-container'>\r\n            <img src='https:\/\/mda.spinny.com\/sp-file-system\/public\/2026-04-04\/36d52bde59054b4b9f05a909371c7aad\/raw\/file.JPG?q=85&#038;w=900&#038;dpr=0.8' alt='Used Maruti Baleno Cars'>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <div class='sp-footer'>\r\n            <h3 class='sp-card-title'>Used Maruti Baleno Cars<\/h3>\r\n            <div style='margin-bottom: 5px;'>\r\n                        <div style='font-size: 12px; opacity: 0.8; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.5px;'>Starting From<\/div>\r\n                        <div style='font-size: clamp(24px, 4vw, 32px); font-weight: 800;'>\u20b9 3 Lakh<\/div>\r\n                      <\/div>\r\n            <div class='sp-btn'>Explore Pre-Owned Cars<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"maruti-suzuki-baleno-adult-occupant-protection-rating\"><strong>Maruti Suzuki Baleno Adult Occupant Protection Rating<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The following points highlight the key findings of the Bharat NCAP assessment for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/cars\/maruti-suzuki\/baleno\/?utm_source=BalenoSafety&amp;utm_medium=BlogLink\">Maruti Suzuki Baleno<\/a> under the Adult Occupant Protection category:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Adult Occupant Score (Bharat NCAP):<\/strong> Obtained 26.52 out of 32 points (six-airbag variant), getting a 4-star rating of Bharat NCAP in adult occupant safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adult Occupant Score (Global Ratings):<\/strong> Under Global NCAP, the 2-airbag variant was rated at 42.28% (1-star) in the 2-airbag system under adult protection, and the upgraded 6-airbag system was rated at 79.38% (2-stars) in the system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bodyshell Integrity:<\/strong> The bodyshell remained stable during the frontal-offset crash test, indicating good structural integrity during the impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frontal Impact Protection:<\/strong> Both the two-airbag and six-airbag systems in frontal crash tests received 11.54 out of 16 points and offer good protection to the front occupants and the chest; however, protection to other areas of the body is insufficient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Side Impact Performance:<\/strong> The two-airbag model received a lower score of 12.50 out of 16, while the six-airbag version scored 14.99 out of 16.
