8 Best SUVs With 6 Airbags Under Rs 10 Lakh in India (2026)

Eight SUVs starting under Rs 10 lakh come with six airbags on every variant, and six of the eight hold 5-star Bharat NCAP ratings. The Tata Punch is the cheapest at Rs 5.75 lakh and posts 30.58 out of 32 for adults with a full 45 out of 49 for children. The Hyundai Venue has the highest adult score here at 31.15, and the Maruti Suzuki Fronx is the cheapest Maruti SUV with six airbags at Rs 6.90 lakh.

Six airbags means two front, two front side and two curtain. The point of this list is that on all eight cars they start at the base variant, so the cheapest version of each one is as well protected as the dearest.

Key takeaways

• Six of the eight are 5-star rated: the Punch, Nexon, Brezza, Kylaq, XUV 3XO and Venue. The Fronx and Kia Sonet have no Bharat NCAP result.
• The Tata Punch and Skoda Kylaq share the best child score at 45 out of 49.
• The Tata Nexon is the only one here with 5-star results from both Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP.
• The Punch is the only SUV on this list offering a 360-degree camera below Rs 10 lakh.

The eight in detail

Equipment described is what you get on the variants available under Rs 10 lakh, which on most of these cars is the lower half of the range.

1. Tata Punch, from Rs 5.75 lakh

The cheapest six-airbag SUV on sale, and it does not trade crash protection for the price. Rated in January 2026 at 30.58 out of 32 and a full 45 out of 49 for children, with the applicability list covering both the petrol and CNG families, which is unusual.

The 1.2 petrol makes 88 PS and 115 Nm, the CNG 73.5 PS and 103 Nm, and the turbo-petrol 120 PS and 170 Nm. Claimed mileage is 20.09 km/l manual, 18.8 km/l automatic and 26.99 km/kg on CNG. Standard kit includes stability control, ABS with EBD, hill hold, hill descent control, ISOFIX, tyre pressure monitoring and, unusually at this price, a 360-degree surround view camera with blind spot view monitor.

2. Maruti Suzuki Fronx, from Rs 6.90 lakh

The cheapest Maruti SUV with six airbags, confirmed standard across the range in Maruti's brochure, and the mileage leader here. The 1.2 Dual Jet makes 89.73 PS and 113 Nm, the CNG 77.5 PS and 98.5 Nm, and the 1.0 Boosterjet turbo 100.06 PS and 147.6 Nm.

Claimed mileage is 21.79 km/l manual, 22.89 km/l automatic, 21.5 km/l on the turbo manual and 28.51 km/kg on CNG, the highest figures on this list. Stability control and hill hold are standard, along with ABS with EBD, ISOFIX, reverse sensors and a rear camera.

It has no Bharat NCAP result, which is the gap to weigh against the running costs.

3. Tata Nexon, from Rs 7.40 lakh

The only SUV here with 5-star results from both programmes. Bharat NCAP rated it in October 2024 at 29.41 out of 32 and 43.83 out of 49, covering petrol and diesel, and Global NCAP scored it 32.22 out of 34 and 44.52 out of 49 in 2024.

The 1.2 turbo-petrol makes 120 PS and 170 Nm, the 1.5 diesel 115 PS and 260 Nm, and the turbo-petrol CNG 100 PS. Claimed mileage is 17.44 km/l petrol manual, 23.23 km/l diesel and 24 km/kg on CNG. Standard kit includes stability control, ABS with EBD, hill hold, ISOFIX and rear sensors with camera.

4. Kia Sonet, from Rs 7.41 lakh

The widest gearbox choice here: a 1.2 petrol with 83 PS and a manual, a 1.0 turbo with 120 PS and 172 Nm paired to an iMT or 7-speed DCT, and a 1.5 diesel with 116 PS and 250 Nm in manual or automatic. Claimed mileage runs 18.70 to 24.1 km/l depending on the combination.

Standard kit includes stability control with vehicle stability management, hill assist, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX, tyre pressure monitoring, rear sensors and camera, an emergency stop signal and a dual-camera dashcam. No Bharat NCAP result.

5. Maruti Suzuki Brezza, from Rs 7.50 lakh

Five stars at 30.41 and 43, rated in July 2026 with the applicability list covering the 1.5 petrol in manual and automatic plus the 1.0 turbo manual. Six airbags standard across the range.

The 1.5 K15C makes 103.05 PS and 139 Nm, the 1.0 K10C turbo 110.12 PS and 170 Nm, and the S-CNG 87.8 PS and 121.5 Nm. Claimed mileage is up to 21.09 km/l on the 1.5, 19.96 to 20.47 km/l on the turbo and 26.90 km/kg on CNG.

Two things worth noting. The ZXi Turbo adds blind spot warning, safe exit warning and rear cross-traffic alert, a combination nothing else here offers under Rs 10 lakh. And the S-CNG sits outside the variants the 5-star rating covers.

6. Skoda Kylaq, from Rs 7.59 lakh

A 45 out of 49 child score, joint best here, with 30.88 for adults, rated in January 2025. One engine only: the 1.0 TSI with 115 PS and 178 Nm, claiming 19.68 km/l manual and 19.05 km/l automatic.

Standard kit includes stability control, ABS with EBD, traction control, an electronic differential lock, multi-collision braking, rollover protection, ISOFIX and tyre pressure monitoring. The rating covers the manual across all trims and the automatic from Signature up.

7. Mahindra XUV 3XO, from Rs 7.79 lakh

Rated in November 2024 at 29.36 out of 32 and 43 out of 49. The 1.2 turbo-petrol makes 111 PS and 200 Nm, and the 1.5 diesel 117 PS and 300 Nm, the most torque on this list. Claimed mileage is 18.89 km/l on the turbo manual and 20.6 km/l on the diesel.

Standard kit includes stability control, ABS with EBD, hill hold, disc brakes at all four wheels, ISOFIX, rear sensors and a rear camera.

8. Hyundai Venue, from Rs 8.00 lakh

The highest adult score on this list at 31.15 out of 32, with 44.46 for children, rated in March 2026 across both the petrol and diesel families.

The 1.2 petrol makes 83 PS, the 1.0 turbo 120 PS and 172 Nm, and the 1.5 diesel 116 PS and 250 Nm, returning 18.5 to 20.99 km/l. Standard kit includes stability control with vehicle stability management, hill-start assist, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX, tyre pressure monitoring, rear sensors and camera, and an emergency stop signal. Its Level 2 assistance sits above this budget.

What six airbags does and does not buy you

All eight cars here have the same airbag count, yet their adult scores still span nearly two points, from the Venue's 31.15 to the XUV 3XO's 29.36. That spread comes from the body structure and the restraint systems, not the airbags. It is the argument for reading the crash score rather than the equipment list.

Two of the eight have no score at all. The Fronx and Sonet are not known to be weak; they are simply untested, and the Fronx in particular leads this group on running costs. That is a trade worth making deliberately rather than by accident.
