Tata Nexon has been tested again at the Global NCAP but this time it was under the new and stricter protocols that came in effect in 2022, and it doesn’t seem to affect the Nexon in any way as it managed to secure 5 Star NCAP Rating again. The version tested was the facelift version which Tata had given back in September 2023.
Tata Motors had launched the Nexon Facelift in September 2023 with a previously scored Global NCAP Safety Rating of 5 Stars in 2018. But now the facelift version got tested under the new stringent 2022 protocols and secured another 5 Star NCAP Rating. It’s worth noting that this 5 Star GNCAP rating is valid for Nexon developed after August 8th, 2023.

In Adult Occupant Protection, the Nexon both scored 32.22 points out of 34 points. Out of these 32.22 points, the Nexon provided adequate protection in the frontal offset and side movable deformable barrier test, and side pole impact test except the chest area provided marginal protection only. In Comparison to the Harrier and Safari facelift, they had received 33.05 Points in this category which as you can see is just less 1 point difference.
In Child Occupant Protection, the Nexon scored 44.52 Points out of 49 Points. The 3-Year-Old and 18-Month-old Dummies were used to highlight the safety protection offering by Tata and here is how it went. In the Frontal Impact Tests, the Nexon provided almost full protection while in the Side Impact Test, it did indeed provide full protection. In Comparison to Harrier and Safari Facelifts, they had received 45 Points which again now is just half a point difference.
Here’s what Mr. Mohan Savarkar, Chief Product Officer at Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, had to say on the occasion of this incredible milestone, “Safety is ingrained in our DNA, and we are proud to earn the prestigious 5-star rating from Global NCAP for the new Nexon as per the enhanced 2022 protocol. It was the first car in India to receive 5 star rating from GNCAP in 2018 and it upholds this legacy, showcasing our unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence.
With this feat, all our new SUVs have now received the GNCAP 5-star rating certifications and have raised the bar for safer SUVs in India. We are dedicated to delivering vehicles that not only surpass expectations but also prioritize the safety of every passenger on the road.”
