Another milestone was achieved by Tata Motors on 4th September 2024, when their flagship vehicles, the Tata Safari and Tata Harrier, won the G NCAP Safer Choice Award. This award is reserved for automakers committed to producing cars that achieve the highest level of safety performance.
Last year, these vehicles received a perfect 5-star rating for adult and child safety. Following this, Tata Motors submitted them for the Safer Choice conformity tests, where they were tested for their Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), speed assistance, and Blind Spot Detection (BSD) systems, and there too, they passed with flying colors.

Verdict
Tata Motors persistently strives to create vehicles that are built strong and protect the people inside them. The Tata Safari and Harrier hold 5-star ratings from both GNCAP and BNCAP, and this new milestone will attract even more customers to their showrooms. Apart from these two vehicles, the Punch, Altroz, and Nexon have also earned a perfect 5-star rating. Additionally, the Tiago, which holds a 4-star safety rating, is still far better and safer than its competitors.
