In September 2022, the Minister of Road Transport and Highways in India, Nitin Gadkari urged automakers to adopt global safety norms for cars sold in India. This is often done with the intention of improving road safety and aligning with international standards. Many automakers ensure to provide the best safety features in their car models to mitigate the risk of accidents and minimise the severity of injuries in case of a collision.
According to recent updates, Hyundai Motor India updated its popular car models (the Venue, Creta, and the i20) with more safety features than ever before. However, this update does not enhance the build quality of the vehicle but ensures safety in case of an accident.
These updated safety features introduced in Hyundai's new car models comply with the latest safety norms. As per the Government, all cars should come with 6 airbags as standard along with the 3-point seat belts to provide better safety.
