Top 5 Safest Cars in India with 5-Star Global NCAP Ratings : In recent years, one of the most sought-after criterions for a car-buying process for Indian customers happened to be safety. Many Indian families now buy cars not just for street cred or mileage, but more importantly, build quality and safety features due to increasing awareness about road safety and crash-test performance.
Fortunately, many cars in India have earned 5-star safety ratings from Global NCAP, thereby instilling the continued confidence and peace of mind in the buyers. Here is a list of the top 5 safest cars in India that achieved the maximum crash test rating.
Tata Punch
Tata Punch is a minuscule SUV that has shocked everyone with its 5-star Global NCAP rating. It has secured good ratings in both adult and child occupant protection despite the smaller size. Tata Punch comes loaded with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and a body shell that can resist considerable forces.
Mahindra XUV300
The XUV300 is among a few compact SUVs in India that scored 5 stars for adult protection and 4 stars for child protection. The build is solid and offers 6 airbags,, front parking sensors, disc brakes on all wheels, and electronic stability control in the higher variants.
Tata Altroz
Tata Altroz is the first and currently the only premium hatchback in India to receive a 5-star safety rating. Altroz, together with features like ABS and dual airbags or ISOFIX mounts or a strong structure, serves as a very rational choice for families who want safety inside a stylish shell.
Volkswagen Virtus
The mid-size sedan Virtus has certainly impressed an overall safety score given to it. This is certainly the safest sedan available in the Indian market with 6 airbags and electronic stability control and a solid crash-tested body.
Skoda Slavia
Skoda Slavia also clinches a 5-star safety rating being built on the same platform as the Virtus. Slavia blends a range of safety features including traction control with the elegance of a premium offering.
