After releasing the crash-test results for the Tata Altroz about a week ago, Global NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) is back with another report. For which models? The Tata Tiago and the Tata Tigor. Both models share the same platform and come equipped with the same set of safety tech. Hence, the crash-test results are identical for them as well. For adult and child occupants, the duo received four-star and three-star safety rating, respectively. That’s impressive considering the segments they serve. Here’s the video:

Out of a possible 17, the models secured 12.52 points for adult occupants. For child safety, the duo scored 34.15 points on a scale of 49. As far as the safety kit is concerned, they had dual airbags, seatbelt pretensioner for the driver, seatbelt reminder for front occupants and a four-channel ABS. Neither of them packed ISOFIX anchorages for child booster seats.

Global NCAP reports that both the driver and the front passenger received good protection to their heads and necks. In the same order, their chest showed marginal and adequate protection. Also, their knees received marginal protection. The crash-testing body marked the bodyshell and the footwell area as unstable and highlighted that it wasn’t capable of withstanding further loadings.

Following its standard practice, Global NCAP used two child dummies for the crash test – one of an 18-month old and the other of a three-year-old. Overall, the protection offered to the younger child was good. As per Global NCAP, the CRS (Child Restraint System) used did not show incompatibility. In addition to the absence of ISOFIX anchorages, both models do not have three-point seatbelts for all passengers. Also, there’s no way to deactivate the front passenger-side airbag. All those aspects worked against the duo during their crash tests.

Why you must be wondering, is this an impressive result? Well, when you compare the safety ratings of these two cars with other models such as the Maruti Suzuki WagonR, Hyundai Santro or even the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, they come on top. Here’s the link to how those two Maruti models and the least-expensive Hyundai performed in the same set of crash tests.
