Tata Motors has been impressing us with a range of innovations over the last few years. The homegrown auto giant has launched a wide range of products in the passenger vehicle segment. A key element that has been driving up the appeal of the modern Tata cars is safety. Tata Motors has been consistently launching products that have been scoring five-star ratings at Global NCAP or Bharat NCAP crash tests. The latest addition to the list of five-star rated safe cars from the automaker is the Tata Nexon facelift.

Tata Motors launched the Nexon facelift last year with a significantly updated design and a wide range of fresh features. It was followed by the launch of updated Safari and Harrier SUVs. Both the updated Tata Safari and Tata Harrier scored five-star ratings in Bharat NCAP crash tests. Now, the Tata Nexon facelift has scored a five-star rating in the Global NCAP crash test. With this, the compact SUV followed in the footsteps of the pre-facelift iteration of the Nexon.
