Crumple zones are a very important part of car safety. In case of an accident, they are designed to crumple down and absorb as much energy as possible. In addition, the cabin is designed to not crumple easily and keep the passengers safe. Like most modern cars, Suzuki cars follow this safety philosophy. The company claims that the “Maruti Suzuki cars are designed with crumple zones which absorb & disperse as much energy as possible during an impact, minimizing impact to the passenger cabin which is designed as the safe zone.“

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno is based on the HEARTECT platform. It comes with two crumple zones at the front and the rear. As you can see in the new Instagram post by Maruti Suzuki, both crumple zones are smartly placed in the hatchback. At the front, the crumple zone starts from the bumper to the A-pillar. On the back, it extends from the bumper to the C-pillar. The middle part (from the A-pillar to the C-Pillar) is termed a safe zone. This design protects the cabin and the occupants even during extreme crashes.
