Tata does it again: Five stars for the new Nexon
The Tata Nexon has achieved the second highest Global NCAP score for adult and child occupant safety in our #SaferCarsForIndia testing to date. Tata also holds the top spot for their Safari/Harrier rating. The Nexon voluntarily test is amongst the final results in the campaign as Bharat NCAP is activated.
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 8th 2023.
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. More information on the protocol requirements can be found on the Global NCAP web site: https://www.globalncap.org/resources
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.
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.
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 makers 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.”

Safer Cars For India Campaign
The #SaferCarsForIndia campaign was launched by Global NCAP in 2014 with the objective of promoting safer vehicles in the country. Between 2014-2024 Global NCAP have completed over sixty safety assessments, which have acted as catalysts for the further improvement of safety for Indian cars. www.globalncap.org
Global NCAP has created #NCAP24, a new event platform focused on multi-stakeholder collaboration, hosted in its inaugural year in Munich with Euro NCAP and the ADAC.
The two day event, on 23 and 24 April, will feature dynamic discussions on the current status of vehicle safety in countries around the world and the latest technological and policy developments. Delegates will have the opportunity to experience first-hand live demonstrations of life saving crash avoidance technologies, gain insights into the latest safety developments and engage in bilateral conversations with representatives from NCAPs and industry.
