Under the #SaferCarsForIndia campaign conducted by Global NCAP, the Tata Nexon has obtained the second highest score for adult and child occupant safety. This campaign also witnessed Tata Motors securing the top safety rating for its latest Safari and Harrier SUVs. As Bharat NCAP comes into action, the voluntary testing of the Tata Nexon serves as one of the final evaluations of the campaign.
In 2018, the Nexon created history by becoming the first car in India to achieve a five-star #SaferCarsForIndia rating. Fast forward to 2023, the updated Nexon boasts additional safety features, including six airbags and standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC). This revised rating applies to all Nexon models manufactured after August 8th, 2023.

It is important to note that Global NCAP’s crash test protocols encompass assessments for frontal and side impact protection across all vehicle models. Additionally, the presence of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is evaluated. The highest star rating can only be achieved by vehicles that also undergo assessments for pedestrian protection and side pole impact protection.
Mohan Savarkar, the Chief Product Officer at Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, expressed his satisfaction with this new milestone by stating, “Our commitment to innovation and excellence is showcased once again as the new Nexon achieves the prestigious 5-star rating from Global NCAP, as per the enhanced 2022 protocol. This car has always placed safety at its core, being the first car in India to receive a 5-star rating from GNCAP back in 2018.”
