These are the top 7 safest cars in India that have received 4 star and 5 star safety rating in the global NCAP crash tests, over the years.
Seeing the recent safety ratings that Indian cars have received, many buyers are getting cautious about it. A couple of months back, we enquired with our dealership sources about this. They said more and more people are now asking about the safety rating of the car they want to buy.
On the basis of Global NCAP crash tests, the safest cars and their ratings are calculated. A car crashes into a wall at the speed of 64 km/hr and then the affected areas of the car is noted. Injuries to the dummies inside the car are also considered. Both these things combined, take out the points and rating.
