With increased push from the Indian government to raise awareness about car safety ratings, customers are now just not looking at the affordability of the car but also the crucial safety aspect as well. While a lot of things determine the safety of a car, having six airbags helps increase survivability in case of an accident.
Six airbags in a car can significantly enhance the safety of the vehicle's occupants by providing protection in the event of a collision. These airbags provide protection during front and side impacts, reduce injury severity, and offer comprehensive coverage for both front and rear passengers.
