Top 5 affordable cars: As of October 1, 2023, six airbags must be standard on all cars sold in India.

Six airbags are already a typical feature from certain manufacturers, but many others are still updating their product lines. Here is a list of six airbag-equipped, budget-friendly automobiles.

A 1.2-litre petrol engine with 90PS/113Nm and either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed automatic gearbox power the Baleno. Only a five-speed manual gearbox is compatible with the same engine, which in CNG vehicles generates 77.49PS and 98.5Nm. Additionally, the engine now features idle-start/stop technology in place of the mild hybrid technology that was previously present.
The 2023 Baleno now includes a three-point seatbelt for the security of the centre-back passenger. Because it distributes the force of a collision across the entire body rather than just the chest, pelvis, and shoulders, a 3-point seat belt is preferred. In addition to the three-point safety belt, the centre rear seat now has an adjustable headrest.
Since its debut in 2022, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno has included a number of security features as standard equipment. More safety features include a 360-degree camera, electronic stability programme (ESP) with hill hold, driver and passenger airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, reverse parking sensors, rearview camera, seat belt reminder, brake assist, high-speed alert system, seat belt pre-tensioner and ISOFIX anchorages.
