There’s some or the other news about the Nexon every now and then. The last time it was in the news, there was a new CNG version with a turbocharged engine.
The latest update on the Nexon is that Bharat NCAP has put out the Tata Nexon crash test report, with the SUV achieving a five-star safety rating like other Tata cars in India.
The Nexon scored five out of five stars for Adult Occupant Protection. It secured 29.41 points out of a maximum of 32 points. A detailed crash test report can be accessed from the BNCAP official website.
The Child Occupant Protection rating stood at 5 starts as well, with the Curvv securing 43.83 points out of a maximum of 49 points. The Nexon EV that was tested earlier this year also scored similar points.
Some of the standard Tata Nexon safety features include 6 airbags, Electronic Stability Control, ISOFIX child seat mounts, reverse parking sensors, and hill-hold control. Optional safety features include 360-degree cameras, TPMS, auto-dimming IRVM, and more.
Crash test ratings aren’t the sole or the most accurate indicators that reflect how safe would the occupants be in the event of a crash. The Bharat NCAP test isn’t a comprehensive crash test. Also, other factors that should be considered in order to determine how safe a car is are driver comfort, driver assistance systems, structural integrity of the vehicle and more.
