Tata Nexon Gets Five Stars For Safety With Second Highest Global Score In Crash Test
Tata Motor's sport utility vehicle (SUV) Nexon (ICE) has secured a 5-star rating in the latest Global NCAP crash test.
According to Global New Car Assessment Programme (NCPA) Tata Nexon has achieved the second highest score for adult and child occupant safety in the testing to date. The Nexon was tested under the new Bharat NCAP protocol. Tata also holds the top spot for their Safari/Harrier rating.
Tata Nexon safety score
The Nexon received a score of 32.22 out of 34 points for adult occupant protection and 44.52 out of 49 points for child occupant protection.
The Tata Nexon showed a stable structure and robust restraint systems which offered good protection. The model offered almost full protection for child occupants in the dynamic tests and is fitted with i-size anchorages and a passenger airbag disabling switch, making it very versatile for transporting child occupants.
Example for other carmakers?
The Nexon meets UN127 and GTR9 requirements for pedestrian protection as standard. The model also complies with Global NCAP’s ESC requirements and offers seatbelt reminders in all seating positions.
“Tata has consistently demonstrated its commitment to safety and the Nexon’s very significant result should be the example to follow by other car makers in India. The continuing evolution of Tata’s safety performance across the model range should make the company very proud,” Alejandro Furas, Global NCAP Secretary General said.
Global NCAP’s crash test protocols assess frontal and side impact protection for all models, as well as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Pedestrian protection and side pole impact protection assessments are required for vehicles scoring the highest star ratings.
What is BharatNCAP??
In 2022, the?Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways?had issued regulations for Bharat New Car Assessment Programme under which?star ratings will be issued for automobiles?based on their level of protection.
Bharat New Car Assessment Programme rating will provide consumers with an indication of the level of protection offered to occupants by evaluating the vehicle in the areas of (a) Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) (b) Child Occupant Protection (COP) and (c) Safety Assist Technologies (SAT).
