Tata Harrier EV Receives 5-Star Safety Rating From Bharat NCAP

Tata Motors has consistently prioritised safety in its vehicles sold in India. The Tata Nexon was the first Indian car to receive a 5-star rating from Global NCAP. Continuing this legacy, the newly launched Harrier EV has achieved a 5-star rating from Bharat NCAP. This reinforces Tata's reputation for vehicular safety, as the Harrier EV excels in crashworthiness tests.

The Harrier EV is Tata's flagship electric SUV, designed on the acti.ev platform. Although it shares its exterior with the Harrier ICE, it is built as an electric vehicle from scratch. Bharat NCAP's stringent crash safety evaluations have tested the Harrier EV's ability to withstand impacts effectively.

The tested model was the Harrier EV Empowered 75 kWh and its AWD variant. This two-row SUV can accommodate up to five passengers and weighs 2,574 kg. The safety ratings apply to all variants of the Harrier EV, ensuring consistent protection across models.

In terms of safety features, the Tata Harrier EV comes equipped with front and side airbags as standard. It also includes ESC (Electronic Stability Control), seat belt reminders for all seats, belt pretensioners and load limiters on front seats, and ISOFIX child seat mounts in the rear.

Adult Occupant Protection

The Harrier EV scored a perfect 32 out of 32 points in Adult Occupant Protection tests. It achieved full marks in both frontal offset deformable barrier and side movable deformable barrier tests. All assessment points for front seat occupants showed 'Good' protection, indicated by green zones throughout.

Child Occupant Protection

In Child Occupant Protection tests, the Tata Harrier EV earned 45 out of 49 points. It secured full marks in dynamic score (24/24) and CRS installation score (12/12), while achieving 9 out of 13 points in vehicle assessment score. Notably, its competitor, Mahindra XEV 9e, also received similar ratings with a 5-star score in both adult and child protection categories.

The announcement of prices for all RWD variants of the Harrier EV was made recently by Tata Motors. Following this, Bharat NCAP released their assessment results showcasing the vehicle's impressive crashworthiness performance.
