RATING AS 1st ON ALL ABOVE
TATA NEXON
- BODY DESIGN
- The Nexon is designed as shell type which can with stand the crash impact.
- Built with the strong structural strength, Nexon is the 1st and only car in India to achieve a full 5-star safety rating in the Global NCAP crash test. Nexon high-strength steel structure absorbs the impact energy and protects the passenger compartment from deformation, during an unfortunate collision.
- The Nexon is the first made in India car to secure a five-star rating for adult occupant’s protection in the crash tests conducted by Global NCAP as part of its Safer Cars for India
- Earlier in the year, the Global NCAP had crash tested the Tata Nexon SUV as part of its safer cars for India campaign. Back then, the Nexon has scored four star in the adult occupant protection category. Tata has since made a couple of changes to the nexon, which have now pushed the adult occupant protection rating of the SUV to five stars.
