Is the Brezza's 4 star safety rating genuinely safe or merely the best of a bad bunch of Maruti offerings?

The Indian automotive scene has been heating up with consumers demanding safer vehicles and becoming more aware. In the Maruti lineup, the Brezza stands out with a 4 star Global NCAP safety rating, something that isn’t common for Marutis, which have historically fared poorly on safety tests. And this has made many think that the Brezza is a 'safe' choice in the Maruti range. But there’s debate whether this rating actually makes the Brezza a safe car by global standards or whether it’s being merely hyped because it’s better than other Maruti cars. Perhaps a 4 star rating should be the base line and not something to pat ourselves on the back for. But others say the Brezza is missing some advanced safety features that are now being standard in its competitors. Are we setting the bar too low, then, or is the Brezza really safe?

Definitely a step in the right direction for Maruti. It’s not perfect, but it’s far better than their typical products. At least they're trying to do something on safety standards. It’s not bad at all for a budget friendly car in India.

Come on, in 2024 we shouldn't be happy with anything less than 4 stars. In the same segment, other brands are offering 5 star rated cars. We shouldn't be praising Maruti too much for playing catch up and doing what they should have been doing all along.

To someone who has upgraded from an old Maruti to a Brezza, the difference in Build quality and safety features is like night and day. It's not the safest car on the road, but it’s a huge improvement. We sometimes forget how far Indian cars have come in safety terms.

The Brezza’s safety is hyped up. Yes, it's better than other Marutis, but that's not saying much. Features like ESC are still missing in lower variants which are so important for safety. These should be standard across all variants of a car that is truly safe.

I believe that we need to see the bigger picture. Of course, there are safer cars out there, but the fact that the Brezza is this safe while being affordable is a big win for the average Indian buyer. The whole market is being pushed towards better safety standards.
