Tata Nano Crash Test Ratings

ADULT OCCUPANT

The protection offered to the driver head, neck, chest was poor due to the hard contact with the steering wheel as well as for the high descelerations and for this reason the star capping was applied. Also Passenger’s chest protection was marginal. Both front passengers’ knees could impact with dangerous structures, in the dashboard lie the Tran fascia tube, also the shock absorber mounts are offer potential risk. The bodyshell was rated as unstable and it can not withstanding further loadings.

CHILD OCCUPANT

The manufacturer did not recommend a CRS for this test. Global NCAP has to recommend a CRS instead but this car has 2 point static belts in the rear seat. Global NCAP could not find a CRS that is available in India and that is possible to be used in a 2 point belt. As it is not possible to find a CRS to be used, according to Indian market availability criteria this model is not capable of transporting children in a safe way.
