Exclusive: Tata Nexon Makes History As India's First 5 Star Car | Nexon Crash Test | carandbike
#TataMotors #NexonCrashTest #carandbike
➡️After scoring 4 stars in Global NCAP's crash test in August this year, the Tata Nexon has made history by going the distance and becoming India's first ever 5 Star car.
➡️The Nexon has achieved this by scoring 16.06 points out of a possible 17 - the highest as yet for any Indian-made car.
➡️The subcompact SUV has gone into the record books by becoming India's first car to ever have this top score.
➡️The Nexon already held the highest score for all India-made cars tested, but with a 4-star rating in results released in August 2018.
➡️But what really helped the Tata Nexon to go from 4 to 5 stars? Alejandro Furas, Technical Director at Global NCAP explains, "The ABS, or anti-locking brakes, in a full channel version, is a standard fitment for all the cars, so all the Nexon's wheels have ABS in four channels. At the same time, the seat belt reminder was also now introduced by the manufacturer as a standard feature for the driver and passenger side as well.
➡️The car also retains its 3-star rating for child occupant safety.
