Meanwhile, in October 2023, Hyundai made a significant announcement of equipping all its models with 6 airbags as a standard safety feature. As a result, Hyundai's vehicles priced at or below Rs. 6 lakh, such as the Grand i10 Nios and Exter, have notably enhanced their safety standards. However, neither the Exter nor the updated Grand i10 Nios are currently part of the Safer Cars For India program, which is why they're not included in this list as yet.
