Companies are now implementing the rule of 6 airbags in cars on their own, Hyundai made a big announcement
New Delhi: Recently, it was said by the Central Government that now the rule of installing 6 airbags in vehicles will not be made by the government. In fact, many companies had also objected to the government order to provide six airbags as standard in every vehicle. He said that this will increase the prices of vehicles further. However, now it seems that the issue of car safety has come to the front seat and there is a competition among the companies themselves to provide as many safety features as possible. In this series, on Tuesday, Hyundai announced that 6 airbags will be provided as standard in all its vehicles sold in India. Along with this, the company also said that its mid-level sedan ‘Verna’ has got 5 star safety rating in the Global NCAP test.
Hyundai will send 3 cars for BNCAP
Hyundai India’s Chief Operating Officer Tarun Garg said that the company is doing a lot of work regarding safety. He said that the company has decided to send three of its cars for Bharat NCAP. He said that 3 point seat belt and seat belt reminder have also been made standard for all seats. The scope of high-end features like tire pressure monitoring system and ADAS has also been expanded.
They got 5 star rating
Two cars in the ‘Verna’ segment, Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Slavia, have already received 5 star rating in GNCAP. However, ‘Verna’ is Hyundai’s first car in India to get a 5 star rating. Currently, Tata and Mahindra have the highest number of 5 star rated cars in their portfolio in India. Now it remains to be seen how Indian cars perform in BNCAP.
