Mahindra Thar: Charting New Heights in Safety

The Mahindra Thar, India’s much-admired off-roader, has not only conquered tough terrains but also the stringent safety tests of Global NCAP, achieving a commendable 4-star rating for both adult and child occupant protection. These results affirm Mahindra’s commitment to safety, propelling the Thar to the top as India’s safest off-roader.

The Ratings Explained

The Mahindra Thar’s robust performance in safety ratings is significant, scoring 12.52 out of 17.00 for adult occupant protection and an outstanding 41.11 out of 49.00 for child occupant protection. Such scores are particularly impressive, with the Thar joining the ranks of the Mahindra XUV300, which also received high ratings for child occupant protection.

Adult and Child Occupant Protection

Equipped with standard safety features like dual airbags and ABS, the Mahindra Thar provided adequate protection to adult occupants’ head, neck, and chest areas in the frontal crash test. The footwell area was noted as unstable, which slightly impacted the knee protection but was not considered dangerous. The Thar’s body shell received a stable rating, and it also complies with UN 95 side impact protection regulation.

Safety Assist Technologies

- Airbags: Front driver and passenger airbags for collision impact mitigation.

- ABS with EBD: Anti-lock Braking System paired with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution for balanced braking.

- Brake Assist: Provides additional braking power during emergency stops.

- Engine Immobilizer: Security feature that prevents the engine from running without the correct key.

This dedication to safety is evident across the brand’s lineup, with Mahindra vehicles consistently reaching or exceeding the 4-star safety benchmark.
