Mahindra XUV300 is the Safest Car in India

It is proud moment for Mahindra & Mahindra as their compact SUV, the XUV300 has received Global NCAP’s ‘Safer Choice’ award for being the safest car in India. Mahindra XUV300 is also the first ever car in India to receive this award, having exceeded all safety standards typically offered by global car manufacturers. This prestigious accolade is only available to automakers achieving the highest levels of safety performance for cars sold in India as stated by Mahindra & Mahindra in its press statement.

The XUV300 has established a new benchmark in terms of vehicle safety in India having been awarded a 5-star rating by Global NCAP, the umbrella body of consumer car safety testing bodies. The official Global NCAP test for the Mahindra XUV300 was conducted in Germany recently.

Global NCAP has completed safety assessments on more than thirty-eight vehicles between 2014 and 2020, and amongst them, Mahindra XUV300 is the first ever car which has achieved “Safer Choice” award as part of the #SaferCarsForIndia campaign.

Last month the Mahindra XUV300 achieved a 5-Star Global NCAP rating for adult occupant protection and First-in-India 4-Star rating for child occupant protection. It has the highest combined occupant safety rating for any car tested in Global NCAP’s #SaferCarsForIndia campaign till date. In addition to 5-star requirements, the Global NCAP’s Safer Choice Award demands a higher level of safety through compliance to both Pedestrian and Electronic Stability Control performance requirements, which the Mahindra XUV300 has met. Most importantly, the XUV300 has demonstrated highest level of safety of global standards and in some cases has even exceeded safety standards typically offered by car manufacturers of developed countries. This is a great achievement of an Indian auto manufacturer.

According to David Ward, CEO and President of Global NCAP, “This is a historic moment for Mahindra and the Indian auto industry, marking a tipping point in vehicle safety performance for the country. After setting our ‘Safer Choice’ Award challenge in 2018 it is deeply satisfying to see an Indian automaker taking a lead on safety in this way.”
