Renault Duster Design Sketches Revealed Ahead Of Debut

Meanwhile, in October 2023, Hyundai announced it would offer 6 airbags as standard across all its models. Hence, Hyundai’s cars priced at or under Rs. 6.0 lakh, such as the Grand i10 Nios and Exter, have become safer than before. However, neither the Exter nor the updated Grand i10 Nios will go through the Safer Cars For India program, and that’s the reason why we can’t add them to this list yet. That said, Hyundai have announced they are sending 3 cars for the Bharat NCAP tests, so stay tuned to this page to see if the Grand i10 Nios and Exter make it to the list.
