A car worth Rs 6.61 lakh has more safety than Baleno.It has got a safety rating of 5 stars in crash test.There is also competition with Hyundai i20.
New Delhi. Indian car customers are also becoming aware about their safety. People are now checking the safety features and build quality of the car before investing Rs 6-7 lakh in it. According to a report, now while buying a car, people are also checking about the safety features and safety star rating along with the mileage and features. 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 durability is not 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. Taking 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 in the market as a premium hatchback. 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 at the same price come with more safety and better build quality than Baleno. Baleno competes with Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz in the market. All three cars are being sold at almost the same price, but the Tata Altroz with the best crash test rating is priced between Rs 6.61 lakh and Rs 9.88 lakh (ex-showroom).
Excellent in safety features
Not only in design but also in safety features, Altroz is no less than anywhere. This 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 rated 5-star in adult safety and 3-star in child safety. Talking about Hyundai i20, it has been given only 3-stars in crash test, whereas 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, in which 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 power of 90 bhp and torque of 200 Nm. Manual and automatic gearbox options are available with all three engines. This car gives a mileage of 19.33 kilometers per liter in petrol, whereas in one kilogram of CNG this car can run up to 26.2 kilometers.
