The Tata Tiago and Tigor facelifts scored a 4-star rating in adult occupancy and a 3-star safety rating for child occupancy at the Global NCAP crash tests.
Global NCAP has been testing a series of India-made cars recently. They recently crash tested the Tata Altroz and the Mahindra XUV300, both of which scored a 5-star safety rating. Now, Global NCAP has crash tested the facelifted Tata Tiago and Tigor and the duo fared well with a 4-star rating for adult occupancy and a 3-star rating for child occupancy. The safety ratings of the Tata Tiago and Tigor facelifts were announced just a day ahead of the new models going on sale in India.
In terms of adult occupant protection, the Tiago and Tigor scored 12.52 out of a maximum 17. The body shell integrity of the car was however rated unstable and not capable of withstanding further loading. The footwell area was particularly pointed out to be weak. The protection for the front passengers’ head and neck was however rated to be ‘good’.
