Once again, the Tata Nexon has secured a 5-star rating from Global NCAP. The assessment of the Tata Nexon was conducted per the rigorous 2022 norms set by GNCAP. The 5-star GNCAP rating applies to Nexon models produced after August 8, 2023, specifically for the ICE versions. The Nexon EV could also likely be crash-tested shortly.

Global NCAP says the Nexon has achieved the second highest Global NCAP score for adult and child occupant safety in its ‘Safer Cars For India’ campaign. The Nexon was the first model to achieve a five-star Safer Cars For India 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.

Global NCAP’s crash test protocols assess frontal and side impact protection for all models and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Pedestrian protection and side pole impact protection assessments are required for vehicles scoring the highest star ratings.

The Tata Nexon showed a stable structure and robust restraint systems, offering good protection. The model offered almost full protection for child occupants in the dynamic tests. It 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.

Tata also holds the top spot for their Safari/Harrier rating.
