An SUV from Mahindra in the Global NCAP Top 5 ranking.
No other domestic company could make a place.
Volkswagen and Skoda occupied the first four positions.
New Delhi. People’s attitude towards cars is changing now. Where earlier people used to prefer budget cars and only mileage was given first priority while buying a car, now people are giving priority to safe cars. The safety features of the car and its safety ranking have become a priority for the people. This should also happen, because accidents have become common among the increasing traffic and high speed vehicles. In such a situation, a safe car is not less than a boon not only for the driver but also for the people sitting in that vehicle. In this case till now Tata cars had dominated the Indian automobile market for a long time. Cars like Tata Punch and Nexon got 5 star safety ranking, after which people liked these cars very much. Both these cars made a splash in the micro SUV and compact SUV segments and were also seen making their place in the list of top selling cars. But a recent report has completely changed it. Now the list of top 5 safest cars sold in the country has changed, the surprising thing is that not a single Tata car has made it to the list. On the other hand, if we talk about the domestic company, then an SUV from Mahindra has definitely made a place in this list.
Apart from Tata cars not getting a place in the top 5 list of Global NCAP, another surprising thing that came to light in the recent Latin NCAP rating is that in the hatchback segment, French carmaker Citroën’s C3 car which people like very much. Were doing, it has got zero safety rating. At the same time, Renegade of the popular company Jeep got 1 star safety rating for its SUVs around the world.

Global NCAP has changed some of its testing protocols after which the cars which were earlier placed in the 5 star rating category are now out.

Understand Global NCAP
Towards Zero Foundation runs an organization that checks the safety of cars by the name of Global NCAP. This is a charity organization. This organization does crash test of all the cars. Cars are specially given by the companies for this test. In this, a human dummy is used and the car is rammed into a wall at a specified speed. During this, it is seen how the safety features including the airbags of the car work. The car is given a safety rating based on the damage caused to the car and the human dummy present in the vehicle.
