Safety concerns drive Indian automakers to enhance vehicle features, with six airbags now standard in various models, including budget cars. Noteworthy examples are the Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Nissan Magnite, and Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS, all offering advanced safety features at competitive prices.
Safety has become a paramount concern for Indian automotive consumers, prompting manufacturers to enhance the structural integrity of their vehicles while incorporating a host of advanced safety features. One of the most notable measures in this direction is the inclusion of airbags. While the Indian government has mandated a minimum of two airbags, carmakers are now equipping their models with six airbags as standard, even in budget-friendly segments.
A growing number of manufacturers are introducing six airbags across multiple models, including entry-level vehicles. As per a report from HT Auto, here is a selection of cars priced under ₹10 lakh that now offer six airbags as a standard safety feature:
Maruti Suzuki Celerio
Maruti Suzuki’s Celerio has emerged as the most affordable car in India to come with six airbags as standard. Priced from ₹5.64 lakh (ex-showroom), the Celerio also boasts additional safety features, including three-point seatbelts for all occupants, front seatbelt pre-tensioners with force limiters, seatbelt reminders, reverse parking sensors, hill-hold assist, and an Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) for better control on slippery roads.
