New cars in India with 6 airbags!
The safety virtue in the car has come up with a rising comprehension amongst buyers. Some buyers now prioritise safety over features and looks. This change in the winds has led manufacturers to bring safe cars to our nation and the government is also propagating it. The Indian government has made it mandatory for all passenger vehicle manufacturers to add 6 airbags to all of their vehicle lineup. This has led to the introduction of many new cars in India with 6 airbags. Which are those cars? Let’s take a look.
