Tata Zest achieves a ۴ star result in India

TIN news:  As part of the #SaferCarsforIndia campaign, Global NCAP tested two versions of the Tata Zest
The standard non-airbag version resulted in a disappointing zero star score for adult occupant protection and one star for child occupant protection. As has been the case with other manufacturers, Global NCAP offered Tata the opportunity to test another version of the Zest with more safety features. Accepting the opportunity, Tata introduced a structural improvement to the entire Zest range while Global NCAP tested the new version with optional airbags.
The Zest with two airbags and two pretensioners showed very substantial improvements and, together with the seat belt reminder in the driver seat, the Zest achieved an impressive four star score in adult occupant protection. Tata also selected other child restraint systems for the airbag version, improving the rear seat child occupant protection to 2 stars.
Tata have announced that the improvements made to the structure will be brought to the entire vehicle range, for both airbag and non-airbag versions.
