Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara

The Grand Vitara is Maruti Suzuki taking eco-friendly hybrid technology and wrapping it in a desirable SUV wrapper. It looks fantastic and has great presence on the road, and if you opt for the strong hybrid version, the fuel efficiency figure is quite simply off the charts. Another great reason for picking the strong hybrid version is the fact that six airbags are standard with it. However, if you want the more SUV-ish Grand Vitara, you can also opt for the other powertrain, which features a similarly sized petrol engine, but can be had with a manual transmission and even an AWD system.

Hyundai Creta

The Hyundai Creta underwent a major update and the new model has become even more desirable than before.

So, no matter which variant of the Creta you decide on, you can be assured that six airbags will be a part of the package. The design of the Creta has also been given a thorough revamp and it now stands out as elegant in a sea of other SUVs, or even when compared to the outgoing model.

Volkswagen Virtus

Spinny Assured VW Virtus

Volkswagen as a brand has been synonymous with safety over the years and the Virtus, one of their two hot-selling products in the Indian market, is a testament to that. The sedan managed an impressive 5 star safety rating from Global NCAP and not just for adults, but children as well. As far as airbags are concerned, Volkswagen offers two as standard in the lower variants but once you cross the Rs. 15 lakh threshold, you more or less get it on all variants. The Virtus already boasts of impressive performance and coupled with such good safety tech on board, it definitely makes for an interesting proposition, especially if you are looking to move away from the SUV craze.

  • Engine: 1.0 litre turbo-petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol
  • Transmission: 6 speed MT, 6 speed AT, 7 speed DCT

It is available with a variety of engine options which can be paired with a manual or an automatic transmission of some time.

Skoda Kushaq

Kia Seltos vs Skoda Kushaq

Skoda’s roots in India are deep and so is its commitment to safety.

To make things better, Skoda also specs it with six airbags in the higher variant, so if you are looking for the best safety combination that money can buy under Rs. 20 lakh, the Kushaq is pretty much the definition of such a car. It also carries Skoda’s signature styling that puts it in the company of its more sophisticated siblings, and it is also a thoroughly rewarding car to drive due to its solid driving dynamics.

It had to happen that we put an EV also on the list, and the most deserving in that regard is the Nexon EV. It recently underwent an update and the good news is that six airbags are standard on all variants of the Nexon EV. That makes it easy to pick between the other variant combos of the Nexon EV, as customers can choose between different battery pack sizes as well, which then in turn dictates the overall range. The electric SUV also boasts of a trendy design that looks quite funky and sharp, and last but not the least, it is also packing in all the latest gizmos that you would want on your next car.

Mahindra Scorpio N

Spinny Assured Scorpio N

Not all SUVs are created the same and the Scorpio N sits in a league of its own. There is a high chance that if you are looking at bringing it home, nothing else really will suffice. After all, the Scorpio name and the overall design of the SUV commands presence on the road. With these many things going right for it, there are a few things you also need to look out for. The Scorpio’s top-end variant far exceeds the Rs. 20 lakh budget we have kept for this list, but there are a bunch of mid-end variants of the Scorpio that do come in at under Rs. 20 lakh, and are specced with six airbags. Namely, if you are looking for the Scorpio’s 6 airbag variants, you should be looking at the Z8 S variant and above.

Mahindra Scorpio N Specifications

  • Transmission: 6 speed MT, 6 speed AT
  • Mileage: NA
  • Airbags: 2 – 6

MG Hector

Spinny Assured MG Hector Plus

The MG Hector is another SUV that clears our 20 lakh price bracket, but with a load of gizmos onboard, it is one of the most sought after cars by those who love their tech. Now, if you too fall into that bracket and want to stick to the 20 lakh budget, there are a couple variant combos that come in either just under Rs. 20 lakh. The diesel version, however, is priced at Rs. 21 lakh, making it a bit of stretch. Namely, you are looking for the Sharp Pro variant of the Hector with the petrol-manual powertrain. Another reason that the Hector will make for a great new car is its incredible ride quality.

MG Hector Specifications

  • Engine: 1.5 litre turbo-petrol, 2.0 litre diesel
  • Transmission: 6 speed MT, CVT
  • Mileage: NA
  • Airbags: 2-6
  • Fuel Type: Petrol, Diesel
  • Seating Capacity: 5

Another car that smashes our Rs. 20 lakh budget by a country mile is the Tata Harrier, but the good thing with it is that Tata offers six airbags right from the base variant, and with a starting price of Rs. 15.49 lakh, there are a bunch of well-equipped variants that fall under our 20 lakh limit. The powertrain choices are pretty simple with a choice between a manual and an automatic transmission. It’s also a relatively big SUV so you are also getting a bigger car, and lest we forget, the Harrier has received a five star safety rating from Global NCAP too.

Tata Harrier Specifications

  • Engine: 2.0 litre diesel
  • Transmission: 6 speed MT, 6 speed AT
  • Mileage: NA
  • Airbags: Six
  • Fuel Type: Diesel
  • Seating Capacity: Five

Best Cars with Six Airbags Under Rs. 20 Lakh Summary

Ultimately, when you are looking at cars under Rs. 20 lakh that offer six airbags, you will run into a lot of different powertrain options and body types. The good thing is that with a lot of choice, there will be something for most people. However, keep in mind that the bigger cars will offer more space but skimp out a bit on features whereas the smaller SUVs and sedans will offer a relatively fully-loaded experience when it comes to features.
