Indian Cars Safety Rating June 2022

As of now, more than 35 made-in-India cars have been crash-tested by Global NCAP, out of which five models have returned a 5-star safety rating

Indian consumers have become much more cautious regarding safety of cars in recent times as compared to what they were a few years back. Hence safety is one of the major criteria for buying a car in the country today. Buying decision of many consumers is influenced by safety ratings provided by Global NCAP.

Many made-in-India cars have been crash-tested by Global NCAP in the last few years. The latest car added to this list is Kia Carens which has scored an overall 3-star safety rating. Some of its Korean cousins including Hyundai Creta and i20 have also received a similar 3-star safety rating from Global NCAP in recent months.

All major safety features in Carens including six airbags, Electronic Stability Control, seatbelt pre-tensioners, ABS, all-wheel disc brakes, brake assist system and tyre pressure monitoring system are offered as standard fitment. Despite these features being available as standard across the entire range right from the base variant, makes the 3-star safety rating a bit underwhelming.
