Top 5 cars with 6 AIRBAGS in India under Rs 15 lakh - Kia, Hyundai and more

Renowned business personality and former Tata Sons chairman recently died in a road accident raising serious questions about road safety in India. While Indian roads are some of the most dangerous ones in the world to drive a vehicle, given the number of fatalities that are reported every year, but then, it's also the sub-standard and less equipped cars that's partially responsible for such a high fatality rate. The government of India is working at a fast pace to mandate the use of safety equipments in cars and after making ABS with EBD and dual airbags mandatory, the govt has taken a step forward to mandate 6 airbags in a car. With things changing rapidly and incidents like Cyrus Mistry's death putting focus on the road safety, we have compiled a list of top 5 cars from every segment offering 6 airbags under Rs 15 lakh:

1. Kia Carens

First on our safest cars list is also the newest launch in India with standard 6 airbags in all variants. The Kia Carens MPV was launched in India at a starting price of Rs 8.99 lakh (ex-showroom) and you do not need the top-end variant to get hands on a six-seater variant as its a standard feature, making it the most affordable car in India with 6 airbags.

2. Hyundai i20

The Hyundai i20 is a premium hatchback and also among the most affordable cars on this list with 6 airbags. The Asta (O) variant with 6 airbags comes at a price of Rs 9.5 lakh (ex-showroom). Apart from 6 airbags, the Hyundai i20 is among the most feature packed cars in the segment. 

3. Kia Seltos

Another Kia car on the list is the newly launched 2022 Kia Seltos that represents the mid-size SUV segment. Kia India recently launched the updated version of the SUV and much like the Carens, it now gets 6 airbags as standard across variants, which means you can buy a 6 airbag SUV for Rs 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom) and the prices goes upto Rs 18.65 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top spec model. 

4. Hyundai Venue

Another Hyundai on the list is the Hyundai Venue compact SUV that offers 6 airbags with pocket-friendly price tag. You can have the Hyundai Venue with 6 airbags in the SX (O) variant, which is one of the higher-spec variants. The price tag of the six airbag Hyundai Venue starts at Rs 11.3 lakh (ex-showroom).

5. Hyundai Verna

The Hyundai Verna is the only sedan on this list and probably the most affordable one with 6 airbags. Hyundai is offering 6 airbags in the Verna SX (O) model. The Hyundai Verna with 6 airbags starts at Rs 11.1 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up from there depending on variants. The Hyundai Verna is the third car on our list from the South Korean automaker.
