New Delhi. Indian car customers are also becoming aware of their safety. People are now also checking the safety features and build quality of the car before investing Rs 6-7 lakh in cars. According to a report, now people are investigating the safety features and safety star rating along with mileage and features while buying a car. This clearly shows that people are becoming aware of the safety features available in vehicles. Most of the budget cars sold in India give mileage but their strength is not very special. If we talk about the country’s largest car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki, the safety rating of most of the company’s best-selling hatchback cars is disappointing. If we take the example of Maruti’s best-selling hatchback Baleno, this car comes with better design and features. Its new generation model has not been crash tested, but the NCAP rating of the old generation was 0 stars. Let us tell you that Baleno is being sold as a premium hatchback in the market. Its price starts from Rs 6.61 lakh (ex-showroom).

Let us tell you that there are some cars being sold in the market which come with more safety and better build quality than Baleno at this price. In the market, Baleno competes with Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz. All three cars are being sold at almost the same price, but the best crash test rating among these is of Tata Altroz, which is priced between Rs 6.61 lakh and Rs 9.88 lakh (ex-showroom).

Amazing in safety features
Not only in design, but Altroz ​​is also no less in safety features. It is the safest car in its segment. Tata Altroz ​​is the only hatchback sold in the Indian market that comes with a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating. Altroz ​​has been given a 5-star rating in adult safety and a 3-star rating in child safety.

Talking about Hyundai i20, it has been given only 3-stars in the crash test, while Maruti Baleno is a car with zero rating in safety. Features like two airbags (driver and passenger), child lock, anchor point for child seat, overspeed warning, speed sensing door lock, anti-theft engine immobilizer, central locking, tire pressure monitoring system are provided as standard in Altroz.

The engine is also powerful
Altroz ​​is being sold in three engine options, the first is a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, the second is a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine and the third is a 1.5-liter diesel engine which gives a power of 90 bhp and torque of 200 Nm. Manual and automatic gearbox options are available with all three engines. In petrol, this car gives a mileage of 19.33 kilometers per liter, while in one kilogram of CNG, this car can run up to 26.2 kilometers.
