The Nexon was the first model to achieve a five star #SaferCarsForIndia rating in 2018. In 2023 the new Nexon has been updated with additional safety equipment, including six airbags and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) as standard. The new rating is valid for models produced as from August 8, 2023, Global NCAP said in a media release.
Global NCAP’s crash test protocols assess frontal and side impact pretection for all models, as well as Electronic Stability Control. Pedestrian protection and side pole impact protection assessment are required for vehicles scoring the height star rating.
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 dynamics tests and is fitted with i-size anchorages and a passenger airbag disabling switch, making it very versatile for transporting child occupants, the release said.
The Nexon meets UN127 and GTR9 requirements for pedestrian protection as standard. The model also complies with Global NCAP’s ESC requirements and offers seat belt reminders in all seating positions, the release added.
Alejandro Furas, Global NCAP Secretary General said, “Tata has consistently demonstrated its commitment to safety and the Nexon’s very significant result should be the example to follow by other car makes in India. The continuing evolution of Tata’s safety performance across the model range should make the company very proud.”
David Ward, President of the Towards Zero Foundation said, “Achieving high standards of crash test safety has now become a core component of the Tata brand in India. We applaud Tata’s leadership for this strategic commitment and look forward to the next stage in the company’s road safety journey.”
