Maruti Suzuki Baleno & Ertiga Now Come with 6 Airbags as Standard

Maruti Baleno & Ertiga Now Get 6 Airbags in All Variants – Price Increases Slightly

Maruti Suzuki has made a big change to improve safety in its cars. The company has now added 6 airbags in all versions of the Baleno and Ertiga. This means even the base models of these cars will now have more protection for the driver and passengers.

Maruti had earlier promised to add 6 airbags in all its cars, and it has already done this in models like Alto K10, Celerio, Wagon R, and Eeco. Now, the Baleno and Ertiga are also updated.

🛡️ Better Safety for Everyone

Before this update, only the top models of the Baleno (Zeta and Alpha) had 6 airbags. Now, even the base model (Sigma) and middle model (Delta) will have:

6 airbags
Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
Hill Hold Assist
3-point seat belts with alerts for all seats
Brake Assist

The Ertiga will also get 6 airbags in all its variants.

💰 Slight Increase in Price

Because of the extra safety features, prices will go up a little:

Baleno: Price will rise by about 0.5%
Ertiga: Price will rise by around 1.4%

These new prices will start from July 16, 2025. The company will soon share the full new price list.

🧪 Crash Test Results

The Baleno got a 4-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP (in the version with 6 airbags). Now all versions will have this safety level.
The Ertiga has not yet been tested in Bharat NCAP, but it got 1 star in the Global NCAP test for the South African version.

⚙️ Same Engines as Before

There are no changes in the engines or gearboxes:

Baleno:

1.2L petrol engine (90 hp)
5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT
Available in petrol and CNG

Ertiga:

1.5L petrol hybrid engine (103 hp)

✅ In Short

Now, all Baleno and Ertiga cars will come with 6 airbags, making them safer for everyone, even in the base models. The price will go up a little, but it’s a good update for families looking for a safe and affordable car.

If you plan to buy a Baleno or Ertiga, the new models (after July 16, 2025) will be safer and more secure.
