Maruti Baleno and Ertiga Now Get Standard Six Airbags

For the past few months, Maruti Suzuki has been updating the safety quotient of its cars. In line with this, Indiaโ€™s largest passenger carmaker has now updated the Baleno and Ertiga with six airbags as standard fitment across their variant lineup.

Earlier, the six airbags were limited to Balenoโ€™s higher variants only, while the Ertiga used to get only four airbags in upper trims.

For those unaware, the Baleno was recently crash tested by Bharat NCAP. It secured a 4-star safety rating for both its dual airbag and six airbag variants; however, there was a slight difference in their overall scores. Now, the rating of the 6 airbag variant will be applicable across the lineup.

On the other hand, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is yet to be crash tested by the Bharat NCAP. However, earlier, it scored a 1-star rating by Global NCAP under stricter protocols for the South African market.

Prices Increased

This update results in a 0.5% increase in the prices of the Baleno and a 1.4% hike for the Ertiga. Their updated price lists are yet to be revealed.

Powertrain Options

Powering the Maruti Suzuki Baleno is a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder, DualJet DualVVT petrol engine (90PS/113Nm), paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT. In contrast, the 7-seater Ertiga comes with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (130PS/139Nm), which can be had with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

Both models also come with a factory-fitted CNG kit option with manual variants.
