Six airbags: what the new safety norm means for buyers

Six airbags are increasingly offered as standard across mainstream cars, moving must-have safety features down from only the top trims to the variants most buyers actually purchase.

Why it matters

More airbags, paired with electronic stability control and ISOFIX child-seat mounts, meaningfully improve occupant protection — and pair well with a strong crash-test rating.

Buyer’s tip

Check the exact safety kit on the specific variant you’re considering, not just the brochure top trim. Use the variant page to confirm airbags, ESC and NCAP rating before you book.
