Mistry (54) and his friend Jahangir Pandole were killed in an accident in the Palghar district of Maharashtra on Sunday. Anahita Pandole (55), who was driving the 2017 version of the SUV, and her husband Darius Pandole (60), were seriously injured. The 2017 GLC 220d 4MATIC comes with seven airbags overall. There are no front-facing airbags for rear passengers in the car and just curtain airbags on the sides. And just like any other car, airbags are 'SRS' or Supplementary Restraint System. The primary restraint system on cars remains the seat belt. Therefore, usage of seat belts is crucial for safety of rear passengers, whether they are travelling in entry-level models or high-end luxury cars like the one Mistry was usi
