Safety has become one of the most important parameters that one looks for while buying a new car. And as this trend grows among buyers, carmakers have been adding additional safety features to their models to make them safer and more attractive for buyers.

While dual front airbags should be present in a car, it is recommended to buy a model with at least six airbags (including side and curtain). It should also be noted that airbags are designed to work with seatbelts.
ABS with EBD helps during sudden braking of a car. When one suddenly applies break with huge force, the wheels of the car get locked and go out of control. ABS with EBD prevents the wheels from locking and skidding, thus ensuring better control even during sudden braking.

This helps avpid accidents that may happen in case of oversteering or understeering in corners or low traction on wet roads.
