Tata's SUV duo impresses: 5-Star GNCAP crash rating for Safari and Harrier

Delhi : In India, Tata was among the first companies to place a strong focus on vehicle safety. Some cars, including the Punch and Nexon, received five stars in their test. But for whatever reason, Tata chose not to test the Harrier and Safari, its premium vehicles, which raised questions. Tata has crash-tested the new Harrier and Safari, dispelling this assumption. Each SUV has received a perfect 5-star rating. Let's discuss the Harrier and Safari safety ratings in today's post. 

Safety ratings for adult occupants in Harrier and Safari

The new Tata Harrier and Safari received a perfect 5-star rating for adult occupant safety, scoring 33.05 out of 34 points. The driver and passenger's heads and necks were well-protected in both SUVs. The driver's and passenger's chests were sufficiently protected. 

Harrier and Safari demonstrated strong head, chest, abdominal, and pelvic protection during the side impact test. The SUVs with their six airbags as standard provided excellent protection for the abdomen, good protection for the pelvis, and mediocre protection for the chest in side pole impact testing. The body shells of both SUVs are sturdy and able to resist additional loads. 

Safety rating for child occupants in Harrier and Safari

Regarding kid occupant safety, the two SUVs received 45 out of 49 marks. These points include a maximum dynamic score of 24 and a complete 12 for the kid restraint system. Both the 3-year-old and the 18-month-old children were situated with their backs to the test subjects. In order to lessen the risk of head injuries during the frontal crash test, they were strapped into the vehicle using an i-size anchorage and a support leg. Complete protection against side impacts was provided by the CRS.
