Tata Nexon EV is now reportedly tested on crash test by Bharat NCAP, where it received a 5-star overall safety rating. This electric SUV scored five stars in both adult and child occupant protection but the detailed scores were not as impressive as that of the Tata Punch EV, which has also received a 5-star safety rating from BNCAP. The Indian government introduced Bharat New Car Assessment Program in October 2023, and the Nexon is one of the first EVs tested by the agency till date.
Tata Nexon EV Gets Five Stars Safety Rating From Bharat NCAP
Adult Occupant Protection
29.86/32 points
While the score was good enough for a five star rating, it is one of the lowest tallies for Adult Occupation Protection (AOP) for the Tata vehicles tested by Bharat NCAP so far.
In the frontal impact test at 64kmph, the Nexon EV scored 14.26/16 points for the adult occupants in the front seats.
When crash tested against a deformable barrier at 50kmph from the side, the Nexon EV offered the driver ‘good’ protection to the head, chest, abdomen and hip. That said, the chest region was deemed to offer only ‘adequate’ protection.
18-month Old
Child When tested for protection offered to an 18-month-old child, the Nexon EV achieved 11.95 points out of 12.
3-year Old Child
For a 3-year-old child, the electric SUV was handed a perfect score of 12 points.
