The Tata Safari recently received the GNCAP award for Safer Choice. Global New Car Assessment Program (GNCAP) had previously awarded the Tata SUV with a 5-star safety rating. GNCAP mentions that this award is only given to the cars which have maintained top tier safety standards for adults as well as children.

To achieve this award a vehicle has to meet a few of GNCAP's requirements. These include- A five-star Global NCAP rating for adult occupant protection, a five-star Global NCAP rating for child occupant protection, provide a speed assistance system and achieve a full score in Global NCAP’s test criteria, provide automatic emergency braking (car to car and vulnerable road user) and meet UN regulatory performance requirements and provide blind-spot detection as a stand-alone option and meet Global NCAP’s performance requirements.

There are a host of passive as well as active safety features which help the SUV maintain its high standards of safety. These features should be credited for the top-notch rating and award which Safari has recently achieved.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) work together to prevent the wheels from locking during harsh braking, improving control and reducing stopping distances.
