Conclusion

Maruti Suzuki’s new Dzire achieves impressive safety ratings, signalling a strong commitment to safety. However, it’s too early to draw definitive conclusions about its standing relative to Tata and Mahindra in terms of safety. Though Dzire got an exceptional safety rating but other Maruti cars are in flame for their poor safety rating. On the other hand, most of the Tata cars comes with impressive safety ratings. Several Mahindra models too proudly feature top-notch safety ratings. Notably, no Mahindra car is in direct competition with the Dzire. The Tata Tigor competes with the Maruti Dzire, but its market presence remains relatively small.

The New Dzire’s outstanding safety rating complements Maruti Suzuki’s extensive service network and impressive fuel efficiency. If Maruti Suzuki maintains this high standard across all models, Tata and Mahindra may face significant sales competition. Currently, it’s premature to make any definitive statements on this matter.
