Mahindra Thar Roxx broke all records at the Bharat NCAP testing with impressive safety ratings
The Mahindra Thar Roxx has attained the title of being the safest ICE car in the country as per the latest Bharat NCAP test results. Thar Roxx has taken the legacy of the iconic Thar moniker forward in India. The Indian automobile giant has done commendable and extensive work to develop the Thar Roxx. It is not simply an extended version of the regular Thar. The aesthetics, features, powertrains, safety and the platform are fresh. That is what must’ve contributed to the safety prowess. Let us delve deep into the details of this case here.
Mahindra Thar Roxx – Safest ICE Car
At the Bharat NCAP, the large off-roader bagged a whopping 31.09 points out of 32 in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and 45 points out of 49 in Child Occupant Protection (COP). These translate to a full 5-star safety rating in each category. Note that the model which was tested had some useful standard safety amenities including 6 airbags, ISOFIX child seat mounts at the rear, seatbelt pretensioner, seatbelt load-limiter, airbag cut-off switch, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), pedestrian protection (AIS-100) and seatbelt reminder as standard.
Adult Occupant Protection (AOP)
In the AOP section, the SUV secured 15.09 points out of 16 in the Frontal Offset Deformable Barrier Test and 16 points out of 16 in the Side Movable Deformable Barrier Test. The Side Pole Impact Pole Test was rated ‘OK’. As a part of this test, the head, neck, chest, pelvis, knees and tibias of the passenger were rated good and the head, neck, knee and pelvis protection of the driver were also deemed good. However, the chest, abdomen and tibias protection was rated adequate. All this resulted in a total of 31.09 points out of 32 with a full 5-star safety rating.
Child Occupant Protection (COP)
This section contains a Dynamic Score of 24 out of 24, a CRS Installation Score of 12 out of 12 and a Vehicle Assessment Score of 9 out of 13 for a total of 45 points out of a possible 49. For the 18-month-old child dummy, the ISOFIX seat was installed rearward facing, and it was the same for the 3-year-old child dummy too. These offered good protection in both scenarios which resulted in a decent score amounting to a full 5-star safety rating.
My View
Bharat NCAP has been introduced by the Indian government to promote safety awareness among car buyers. India is the third largest car market in the world. We lose lakhs of lives on our roads each year. Hence, it is critical to equip our vehicles with the best safety amenities out there. People have become safety rating conscious in the last few years. Therefore, this rating of the Mahindra Thar Roxx is a step in the positive direction.
