NEW DELHI -- Hyundai Motor India announced on Tuesday that all of the company's vehicles, including the lowest grade, will now come standard with six airbags. At the moment, most automobile manufacturers offer six airbags on their top-end models, while the base versions have two or four airbags.
Hyundai also stated that has received a 5-star safety certification from Global NCAP in Adult & Child Occupant Protection. In addition, the South Korean automaker intends to offer three of its vehicles for testing under the newly established Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (BNCAP).
In the future, the corporation will also send other models for safety assessments. Carmakers can voluntarily offer their vehicles evaluated in accordance with the Automotive Industry Standard (AIS) 197 under BNCAP. Based on its performance in the testing, the vehicle will be given a star rating from 0 to 5 for adult occupants (AOP) and child occupants (COP).
According to Unsoo Kim, MD & CEO of Hyundai Motor India, "We are not just a provider of smart mobility solutions, but also safer mobility solutions." "HMIL will continue to spearhead efforts in raising vehicular safety standards in India, thus making Indian roads safer for all," Kim stated.
Hyundai's decision to make six airbags standard comes despite the fact that Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari recently stated that the government would not make it mandatory for automakers to install six airbags in passenger vehicles beginning October 1, 2023.
