2 airbags on the entry level still, right?

Yup, still 2

The elephant in the room

Where the Active grade takes its most noticeable cost-cutting hit is in safety standardisation. While higher derivatives offer comprehensive curtain protection, this entry-level model makes do with just 2 frontal airbags. Buyers prioritising maximum passive safety coverage across all rows will need to weigh this compromise carefully against rivals in the segment.

Suzuki Baleno with like a -2 star safety rating? Beleno with a crappy 4 speed auto or a super boring 5 speed manual? No thanks, Suzuki Baleno is a piece of crap compared to Honda or Mazda. Don`t need parts for Honda or Mazda they last forever.

You can’t really compare those results when the tests used very different criteria.

The Mazda 2 was tested in 2021, when Global NCAP was still based on the much older Latin NCAP 2013 protocol. Scoring four stars under that standard probably isn’t particularly impressive.
