India's car market has seen significant growth, with buyers now prioritising safety and convenience. Despite this, few vehicles offer six airbags as standard.

However, this trend is shifting positively. More manufacturers are focusing on safety, engineering cars for better crash ratings, and including six airbags as standard. Even the affordable Maruti Suzuki Alto now offers this feature.
