These are top five cars to buy in this month: Check list here
Safety is something of utmost importance when buying a new car. Keeping this in mind, the government has taken a step forward to mandate 6 airbags in a car. But that is a thing of the future, so for those of you who want the safety of 6 airbags on a budget, we have compiled a list of cars from every segment offering it under Rs 15 lakh-
Kia Carens
Starting the list with the latest offering in the market Kia Carens, a car, fulfils our criteria. Recently, Carens is one of the MPVs competing against Hyundai’s Alcazar through offering its top-end variants at Rs 16.99 lakh (ex-showroom.) However, to get the 6 airbags, you do not need the top-end variant. You can get it as a standard feature.
Hyundai Venue
Hyundai Venue offers 6 airbags with pocket-friendly numbers on the price tag. You can have it on its SX (O) variant, which is one of the higher-spec variants. The price of the six airbag Venue starts at Rs 11.3 lakh(ex-showroom).
MG Astor
To make sure that we diversify our list to every segment, we have MG Astor to represent the electric vehicles. Even though it is just barely under the Rs 15 lakh barrier with a price of Rs 14.28 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards for the higher variants. We mentioned the higher-spec variants because they are the ones that offer the 6 airbags.
