Any vehicle should be safe, but especially so in the case of a commercial vehicle such as the Maruti Tour M which will spend more time on the road and carry multiple passengers. A lot of times you see vehicles that are commercial vehicles and you think that they skimp on safety features to save money. The question now is whether the Tour M adheres to the same safety standards as the consumer facing Ertiga, or if some features have been stripped down or removed. The argument is further made for higher standards of automotive safety given greater frequency of commercial vehicle use and passenger weight. It also addresses the larger issue of safety regulation for commercial vehicles in India and how manufacturers manage the costs vs passenger safety tradeoff.
