In a move that can only be described as the automotive equivalent of wrapping your loved ones in bubble wrap, Maruti Suzuki Arena has now made 6 airbags standard across more of its beloved models, ensuring you can drive like a pro—even if your parallel parking still requires divine intervention.
Joining the safety squad are the Alto K10, WagonR, Celerio, and Eeco, models that have long held a place in Indian hearts (and parking spots), now upgraded to provide what the brand calls “all-round protection.” Translation? Front, side, and curtain airbags—because safety isn’t just for the driver anymore.
But wait, there’s more than just airbags flying off the production line.
These upgraded models also come packed with Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)—for when your right foot gets a little too optimistic—Hill Hold Assist—so that your uphill stops don’t turn into downhill regrets—and ABS with EBD, which makes panic-braking feel like poetry in motion.
Speaking on the announcement, Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer at Maruti Suzuki India Limited, summed it up best: “With India’s expressways turning into race tracks for the impatient, safety isn’t optional—it’s essential. We’re making sure even your grandma’s Alto K10 has ninja reflexes now.”
To promote this safety-first initiative with the signature Arena flair, Maruti Suzuki launched a bouncy new campaign featuring Zorbing and Bubble Football—visual metaphors for the protection 6 airbags offer. Because if you can survive a somersault inside a giant plastic ball, you’ll probably walk away from a fender bender in a Celerio.
With these enhancements, the humble hatchbacks and trusty vans of India are now strutting into the big leagues of safety, right beside the Swift, Dzire, and Brezza, proving once and for all that even budget-friendly cars can be brave.
So whether you’re zipping through Delhi’s lanes, scaling hill stations, or driving your kids to tuition at Formula 1 speeds, Maruti Suzuki’s new safety net of six airbags means you’ll be more protected than a WhatsApp group admin during family politics.
