The Tata Nexon facelift, a testament to Tata Motors’ unwavering commitment to vehicle safety, has clinched a prestigious 5-star rating from Global NCAP. This accolade underscores the automaker’s dedication to surpassing international safety benchmarks, setting a new standard for vehicle safety excellence.
This subcompact SUV iteration, enhanced with additional safety features last year, showcased remarkable performance in Global NCAP crash tests. Scoring 32.22 out of 34 for Adult Occupant protection and 44.52 out of 49 for Child Occupant protection, the Nexon facelift not only eclipsed its predecessors but also elevated safety expectations industry-wide.
Mohan Savarkar, Chief Product Officer at Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, expressed pride in this achievement, “Safety is ingrained in our DNA, and we are proud to earn the prestigious 5-star rating from Global NCAP for the new Nexon as per the enhanced 2022 protocol. With this feat, all our new SUVs have now received the GNCAP 5-star rating certifications and have raised the bar for safer SUVs in India.” He emphasized the milestone as a reflection of Tata Motors’ leadership in delivering safer SUVs across India, marking all new SUVs from the company with GNCAP 5-star rating certifications.
The facelifted Nexon is equipped with advanced safety features aimed at comprehensive occupant protection. These encompass six airbags, 3-point seatbelts for all seats, ISOFIX restraints, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), a 360-degree surround view system, Blind view monitoring, Front parking sensors, and a Tyre pressure monitoring system. Such innovations not only contribute to the SUV’s safety accolade but also ensure driver and passenger peace of mind.
This follows the recent success of Tata Harrier and Tata Safari updates launched late in 2023, which similarly secured 5-star ratings from Global NCAP. Remarkably, these SUVs also achieved a pioneering 5-star rating from Bharat NCAP, reflecting parallel safety protocol standards.
The Nexon’s distinction signals a pivotal shift in India’s automotive industry, with safety increasingly becoming a crucial determinant for consumers. Tata Motors’ relentless pursuit of enhancing vehicle safety not only manifests its commitment to consumer welfare but also inspires industry-wide adherence to elevated safety norms.
As the automotive market evolves with a growing emphasis on safety features, Tata Motors’ accomplishments with the Nexon facelift and its SUV lineup position the brand at the forefront of safety innovation. The company’s strategic focus on integrating cutting-edge safety technologies is poised to resonate strongly with global consumers, reinforcing Tata Motors’ stature as a beacon of customer-centric safety innovation.
