2020 Mahindra Thar has recently undergone a Global NCAP #SaferCarsForIndia crash test and secured four stars rating in it. Interestingly, Mahindra Thar scored four stars for child occupants’ safety as well. With this, it has also become one of the safest cars for minor passengers.
Most of the cars fail to secure such an impressive rating for child occupants. So far, the only car to achieve four stars for child occupants is the younger sibling of Thar, Mahindra XUV300.
2020 Mahindra Thar Global NCAP Crash Test Report
The model crash-tested was equipped with dual frontal airbags, front seat belt pre-tensioner, four-channel ABS, Isofix anchorage, and SBR. It also had a roll cage structure that enhances the overall safety of the vehicle. With these standard safety features, Mahindra Thar scored 12.52 points out of 17 points for adult passengers and 41.11 out of 49 points for child occupants.
As per the report, the neck and head protection for driver and adult occupants was found to be good. The Driver’s chest protection was adequate while the passenger’s chest was found to have good protection.
Driver’s legs showed marginal protection mainly due to the dangerous structure behind the dashboard. Overall, the body shell was rated as stable and capable of withstanding loads.
Safest Car For Child Occupants
As mentioned earlier, Mahindra Thar scored 41.11 points out of 49 for child occupants. It’s highest among all the cars crash-tested by Global NCAP in India.
According to the fact sheet, “the child seat for the 3-year-old was installed FWF with ISOFIX anchorages and top tether and was able to prevent excessive forward movement of the head during the impact below the 550mm limit.”
In short, the SUV provides good protection for children.
