Six airbags: what the new safety norm means for buyers
Six airbags are becoming standard across more models — what changes for safety, price and which variant to pick.
1 Jun 2026
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.
Compare variants and check your city’s on-road price on QLOCar before you decide.
