With the latest update, all variants of the Ertiga and Baleno will feature six airbags as standard; To command a minor price increment
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) committed to standardising 6 airbags across its entire line-up earlier this year. In line with this, the home-grown carmaker has already updated models like Alto K10, Celerio, Wagon R and Eeco with 6 airbags right from the entry-level variant. The latest models to join this bandwagon are the Baleno and Ertiga.
The best-selling cars in their respective segments will now feature enhanced safety with the addition of 6 airbags as standard. Earlier, only the top-spec variants of the Baleno, i.e. Zeta and Alpha, offered 6 airbags. This update brings the safety feature enhancement to the entry-level Sigma and mid-spec Delta trims.
The company has also confirmed a minor price hike, which will be around 0.5% in the case of Baleno. Apart from this, the premium hatchback gets standard safety equipment such as ESP, hill hold assist, 3-point seat belt with reminders for all passengers and brake assist.

While the company has confirmed the aforementioned price increment, an official announcement of the new price list is yet to be made. The safety update of standard 6 airbags for Ertiga and Baleno is effective from July 16, 2025.
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno was recently crash tested by Bharat NCAP, and it scored 4 stars for the variants with 6 airbags, which will now be applicable for the entire line-up. On the other hand, the Ertiga is yet to be tested by Bharat NCAP, however, it scored only a 1-star safety rating in the Global NCAP crash test assessment conducted in 2024, which tested the South African spec model manufactured in India.
