Maruti Alto 800 and K10 to Get ABS and Airbags
For people not in the know, the government of India is planning to impose stricter vehicle safety norms and mandatory front and side collision tests for all new cars from October 2017. And to pass these tests, a car will necessarily require some basic safety features such as airbags and anti-lock braking systems.

So before the new safety norms come in place, Maruti Suzuki India wants to ensure that even the base models of its vehicles get dual airbags and anti-lock braking system (ABS). Interestingly, the company is now considering to offer airbags and ABS as an option feature with its Alto range (Alto 800, K10) as well.

The recently launched Maruti S-Cross and facelifted Ertiga have also received this safety package. While all the variants of the S-Cross get these features as standard offerings, the Ertiga facelift's base trim gets it as an option. The company's much-awaited premium hatchback, the Baleno, too will get dual airbags and anti-locking braking system + electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) as standard features.

Though the company hasn't officially said anything about other of its products getting airbags and ABS, we expect the company's entire lineup getting these features.
