Automobile manufacturer Maruti Suzuki elevates safety standards by integrating innovative features throughout its entire lineup of vehicles.
Maruti Suzuki, India's leading automobile manufacturer, has taken a significant leap in vehicle safety with its Nexa and Arena Safety Shield initiatives. The company is offering a host of advanced safety features beyond the standard airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), reverse parking, and seat belts.
One of the key features is the Electronic Parking Brake with Auto-Hold. This innovation provides convenience and safety by automatically holding the brake when the vehicle is stopped, preventing unintended rolling.
Another notable addition is the 360-Degree Camera System. This system offers a bird’s eye view around the car, enhancing parking and maneuvering safety. Maruti Suzuki has also introduced a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that projects key information on the windshield, keeping the driver’s attention on the road.
The safety packages also include Front Parking Assist, which helps detect obstacles while parking, improving safety in confined spaces. Hill Hold Assist is another feature that prevents rollback on inclines, enhancing control during hill starts.
Maruti Suzuki has not overlooked child safety. The ISOFIX Child Safety Anchorages facilitate secure installation of child seats. The safety package also includes design features aimed at reducing injury to Pedestrians in collisions.
The company has also made a significant stride in active safety with the introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the eVITARA. Level 2 ADAS offers semi-autonomous features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking, enhancing active safety well beyond basic systems.
Maruti Suzuki's commitment to safety is evident in its decision to make safety features like six airbags and ESP standard across nearly all models, covering 97.5% of variants. The company is raising the bar by adding technologies like ADAS, electronic parking brake, 360-degree cameras, and HUD to enhance both active and passive safety.
The Senior Executive Officer (Marketing and Sales) of Maruti Suzuki stated that the company aims to anticipate evolving customer needs and deliver technologically advanced solutions that inspire confidence on the road. The company has made significant strides in enhancing vehicle safety in the recent financial year 2024-25, with ESP now standard across all Maruti Suzuki models.
