Tata Motors received the Safer Choice Award 2024 from Global NCAP. Last year, the Harrier and the Safari scored the highest Global NCAP rating in crash tests of 5 star for adult and child occupant protection.
After receiving the award, Mohan Savarkar, Vice President and Chief Product Officer, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited said, “We are proud to have received the Global NCAP Safer Choice Award for our flagship SUVs, the Tata Safari and Tata Harrier. We have continued to be the pioneers in driving the safety conversation – ensuring that our commitment reflects in every vehicle we manufacture, regardless of price point.Â
Tata Motors had submitted the Safari and Harrier for further Safer Choice conformity tests, with the model’s meeting performance and volume requirements for Autonomous Emergency Breaking (AEB), speed assistance and Blind Spot Detection (BSD) systems.
Tata Harrier, Safari: 5-star safety
Last year, the Safari and Harrier achieved the highest Global NCAP score for adult and child occupant safety in GNCAP crash tests. The voluntary tests are amongst the final results in the campaign ahead of Bharat NCAP’s forthcoming activation.
Even though Safari and Harrier are based on the same vehicle platform, the former is the three-row seater while the Harrier is a five-seater SUV and comes standard with six airbags and ESC. Both achieved a top star rating for adult and child occupants showing a stable structure and robust restraint systems strategy which offered good protection in our tests.
Global NCAP’s crash test protocols assess frontal and side impact protection for all models, as well as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Pedestrian protection and side impact pole protection assessments are required for vehicles scoring the highest star ratings.
