"The @FIAFdn is really excited by the progress that has been made with Global NCAP's #SaferCarsForIndia campaign over the past decade. Having come from testing mostly zero star cars, to now where you have the @TataMotors Safari and Harrier getting the Safer Choice Award."

"@TataMotors is always up for a challenge and we wanted to take this opportunity to go one step further with the Safer Choice Award 2024, which looks not only at passive safety but also active safety, such as #AEB, #BSD & active speed control. Today we made it happen."

"The role of an NCAP is to stretch the performance of manufacturers, to give them the opportunity to show the very best they can do. And that’s what @TataMotors has done & we’re delighted to present them with the Safer Choice Award for the Safari & Harrier." #SaferCarsForIndia

"This recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to safety & innovation, ensuring not only comfort & performance, but also the highest safety standards for our customers. We’re thankful for Global NCAP’s full support as we continue to make #SaferCarsForIndia."

The Chinese made @Kia_Worldwide Pegas scores two stars for adult occupant protection and four stars for child occupant protection in today's #SaferCarsForAfrica crash test results, while its structure was rated as unstable. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/ZT85dFtLo5o

“We’re disappointed to see global brands like @RenaultIndia, @Kia_Worldwide & @Maruti_Corp offer low safety performance in markets like South Africa whilst achieving much higher protection levels in other global markets. Don’t African consumers deserve the same level of safety?”
