Global NCAP Reassesses Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Grants 1-Star Safety Rating

The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has received a disappointing 1-star safety rating in the latest Global NCAP crash tests. The vehicle tested is sold in South Africa but made in India. Back in 2019, the Ertiga earned a three-star rating. However, with the introduction of more rigorous protocols in July 2022, the 2024 model fell short in the updated evaluations.

Only one star for the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
