News & Top StoriesThe September 2023 debut of the redesigned Tata Nexon has recently received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP. The upgraded subcompact SUV was one of the final automobiles manufactured in India to undergo crash testing by the international organization before the introduction of Bharat NCAP. Even while the Nexon has accomplished this before, it’s even more remarkable now that it’s been tested using the most recent GNCAP protocols. The score breakdown is as follows:
A rating of five stars (32.22 out of 34) for adult occupant safety
In both the frontal offset crash test and the barrier test, the new Nexon provided front adult passengers with good overall protection as well as sufficient protection for the chest. Both its body shell and footwell area received stable ratings, with the latter being able to support more loads.
In the side pole impact test, the Nexon facelift provided good protection for the head and pelvis, with only moderate protection for the chest and sufficient protection for the abdomen. This is because it is equipped with six airbags as standard.
The rating for child occupant safety is five stars or 44.52 out of 49
The anchorages and a support leg were used to install the child seats for the 3-year-old and 18-month-old facing backward. Sufficient protection was provided in both circumstances since the child’s head was not exposed during the frontal collision. Additionally, in the side impact crash test, both vehicles’ CRS provided complete protection.
Additionally, the standard installation of the ESC and its evaluated performance met expectations. It also receives front and rear seatbelt reminders. The Tata Nexon facelift’s remarkable score from the more demanding Global NCAP crash tests was the combined consequence of all these factors. Global NCAP also expressed gratitude for the addition of a front passenger deactivation switch and 3-point seatbelts for all occupants to the most recent Nexon standard equipment list.
