Tata Motors has achieved a major milestone with its subsidiary, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd (TPEM), announcing that the Punch EV and Nexon EV have secured a 5-star safety rating from Bharat-NCAP. This is a significant achievement, as TPEM becomes the only OEM with the safest SUV portfolio scoring 5-stars across Bharat-NCAP and Global-NCAP tests. The Punch EV received the highest ever scores achieved by any vehicle till date for adult occupant protection (AOP) and child occupant protection (COP), while the Nexon EV also scored highly in both categories. This achievement aligns with the Indian government’s vision for safer vehicles in the country and emphasizes the role of Bharat-NCAP in making India’s automobile industry ‘aatmanirbhar’.
Results for: Safety Rating
The Mahindra Bolero Neo, a popular SUV in rural India, has performed poorly in the Global NCAP crash tests, achieving only one star for both child and adult safety. The low rating is attributed to the lack of key safety features such as side airbags and seat belt reminders.
