Safest Cars Under 5 Lakhs

The car market of India has witnessed the launch of many new cars in the last few years. Almost every major manufacturer has set foot in the country and hopes to benefit from the ever-growing demand. However, most of carmakers wish to play in the fast-growing SUV segment, which means there are only a few players left in the entry-level segment. Also, thanks to the price-sensitive nature of this section of the market, the cars on sale here aren't the most loaded when it comes to safety features. Still, here's our list of safest cars under 5 lakhs to help you decide on your next car.

Safest cars under 5 lakhs in India

We have curated this small list of budget cars in India after some careful research. All these models come with the basic safety features that have been made mandatory by the government.

Maruti Suzuki Eeco

Maruti Eeco

The last car on our list of safest cars under 5 lakhs in India is the rather bare-basic Maruti Eeco. Basically, it is the logical successor to the highly popular Maruti Omni. The Eeco is powered by a G-series 1.2-litre petrol engine that has been derived from the 1.3-litre G13 motor from the Esteem/Gypsy King. As it's a budget offering, there aren't many safety features that this van offers. Still, the basic safety kit includes ABS, driver-side airbag, seatbelt remind, high speed warning and rear parking sensors.
