SUV demand is at an all-time high, particularly for the smaller models, which are not only very affordable but also very well-built. Here's a list of five cars that are worth taking into consideration if you're looking to buy a new small SUV for your garage based on safety features.
1. Mahindra XUV3XO
One of Mahindra's most secure SUVs available in India is the XUV3X0. Even though it is Mahindra's smallest SUV, it has the highest standards of passenger protection, earning a 5-star safety rating for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and a 4-star rating for Child Occupant Protection (COP) in Global NCAP crash tests.
Standard features include corner braking control, ABS with EBD, two frontal airbags, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. Only available on range-topping model levels are side and curtain airbags, ESP, Roll-over Mitigation, and Hill Start Assist (HSA). An update on its mid-life makeover is anticipated soon.
2. Tata Punch
Although Tata Motors offers several sub-4m vehicles, none are as well-liked as the little Punch. Its enormous fan base is fueled in part by its amazing equipment list, roomy interior, and design, which draws inspiration from the Harrier. It also has strong safety ratings.
The Punch is equipped with many safety equipment, including dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, Brake Sway Control, rear defoggers, rear parking sensors with a rearview camera, and ISOFIX anchors, in keeping with our commitment to safety.
3. Tata Nexon
The Tata Nexon, the newest vehicle on the block, is the only sub-four-meter SUV to receive a complete 5-star safety certification from Global NCAP. The new SUV includes new safety technology, amenities, and a completely updated look. The model comes equipped with up to six airbags, ABS with EBD, cornering control, and other standard safety features.
4.Maruti Suzuki Brezza
The Brezza was Maruti Suzuki's first vehicle to receive an outstanding 4-star GNCAP rating for adult occupant protection. Its bodyshell was capable of withstanding greater impact and was classified as stable.
It's important to remember that the Maruti Brezza from the previous generation was used for the crash test. Interestingly, the latest model of the vehicle has more safety measures than the previous one, which should raise its safety rating even higher.
Nevertheless, dual-front airbags, an electronic stability program (ESP), hill hold assist (HSA), front seat belt pre-tensioners, ISOFIX anchors, rear parking sensors, and seat belt reminders for all occupants are all included in the 2023 Maruti Suzuki Brezza's standard safety package. A heads-up display, a 360-degree camera, and side and curtain airbags are additional features found in higher grades.
5. Mahindra Thar
The second-generation Mahindra Thar is a very capable off-road vehicle that is also the safest in its class. It is strong and rugged. In Global NCAP's crash tests, it received a 4-star rating for both adult and child occupant safety. Safety features include a roll cage, electronic stability control (ESC), brake assist, rear parking sensors with camera, ABS with EBD, dual front airbags (with a passenger airbag deactivation switch), brake assist, and a 3-point seat belt for every passenger.
Conclusion
All of the vehicles listed here underwent crash testing using GNCAP's earlier, less rigorous testing guidelines. It\\\'s also important to remember that the Indian government has unveiled Bharat NCAP, a vehicle evaluation program that complies with international crash test regulations.
