The Tata Nexon small SUV earned high safety ratings, scoring 5 stars for protecting both adults and children.
The Tata Nexon, along with the Tata Curvv and the Curvv EV, have just been through safety evaluations by the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP). This Indian subcompact SUV received an impressive five-star safety rating for both adult and child protection in both the petrol and diesel models. Back in May, the electric Nexon also scored an impressive 5-star safety rating.

These scores indicate that the Tata Nexon excels in keeping both adults and children safe in various crash scenarios.

While conducting the Side movable deformable barrier test, experts found that the driver’s chest receives ‘adequate’ protection.
