Recently, the Global NCAP crash department has tested Indian cars. The results were shocking. According to the reports of NCAP, the Indian cars have failed the tests kept and it was announced that the Indian cars are out, unfit and unsafe.

Earlier, the International agency had also tested Indian cars and but this time the results were more shocking. The Indian cars tested are Renault Kwid and Honda Mobilio. The results are not at the good news. The results are in such a way that even the manufacturers refused to acknowledge them.

Renault Kwid was earlier tested and scored a zero star rating. So the company went back and made few changes to the car. Though the manufacturers made changes, unfortunately, they haven’t worked. The car tested came with a driver’s airbag and a seatbelt pre-tensioner. Hence, the rating has improved to one star.

Honda Mobilio was even worst. The basic version had scored zero star rating. NCAP in their report says that the Mobilio has “a stable structure”. Honda Company, however, requested Global NCAP to test a version with two airbags to show the “benefits of these safety systems”. The new version was better and scored three-star rating.

Global NCAP Methodology:

The Global NCAP methodology of testing includes buying the base variants of the cars directly from the showroom and ships them to the testing location. Here’s where there is no involvement from the manufacturer.

NCAP informs the manufacturers of the future tests and invites them to check the results. Global NCAP has been at the forefront of the promoting road safety around the world. Crash tests for Indian cars are supposed to become mandatory in 2017.
