Maruti Suzuki Arena Cars Become Safer as Six Airbags Now Standard Across Range

Maruti Suzuki has announced that its Arena range, including the WagonR, Alto K10, Celerio, and Eeco, now comes equipped with six airbags as standard. Following the Swift, Dzire, and Brezza, these updated vehicles are available at Arena dealerships nationwide, highlighting the company’s commitment to broader safety accessibility. The addition of six airbags—front, side, and curtain—is further enhanced by 3-point seat belts with reminders, electronic stability control (ESP), hill hold assist, and ABS with EBD.

Commenting on this occasion, Mr. Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, 'India’s rapidly expanding modern road infrastructure, high-speed expressways, and evolving mobility patterns imply that the need for robust safety measures has never been greater.'
