5 Indian Cars With Factory Fitted Air Purifiers

The COVID-19 virus, as we know is highly contagious and transmits through small droplets of cough or sneeze from the infected person. When the virus becomes suspended in droplets smaller than 5 micrometers — known as aerosols — it can stay suspended for about a half-hour, before drifting down and settling on surfaces where it can linger for hours. That’s the reason for wearing face masks and ensuring that the airborne coronavirus does not enter a healthy person.

How about a car that keeps you safe and prevents Coronavirus?

Some of the new cars in India come with an inbuilt air purifier that removes allergens, airborne bacteria and viruses, dust, cigarette smoke, chemicals emitted from plastics, exhaust fumes, and other toxic pollutants. The chances of the virus entering the car’s cabin are quite obvious unless it has a HEPA air filter!

In India, there a few new cars that come with factory-fitted HEPA air purifiers. The HEPA air filter is efficient in filtering particles of size 0.01 micron or 10 nanometers. The size of the coronavirus is 125 nanometers.

However, an air purifier alone may not help, the coronavirus can survive on metallic and plastic surfaces for almost days and hence regular sanitizing and timely cleaning of common touch surface areas like steering wheel, gear knob, door handle, etc with alcohol-based cleaners is necessary.

While scientists and medical experts are yet to find a cure for the novel virus that has affected the entire world, it is very important to stay safe by taking the necessary precautionary measures to avoid the spread of COVID-19 virus. Let us have a look at the five India cars to buy in 2020 with an inbuilt air purifier.

And what could possibly get better than that?

Truth be told, where it stands today, you simply have to consider other facets in a car other than just the average or fuel mileage. Think of the presence of an air purifier in a car, the feature without which none can feel at home in what are vastly challenging times thanks first to pollution and then, to aspects like the ill-fated Coronavirus.
