Tata Altroz Achieves 5-Star Safety Rating in Bharat NCAP

Tata Motors has announced that the all-new Altroz has secured a 5-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP (B-NCAP), making it India’s safest hatchback under the new testing protocol. The hatchback scored 29.65/32 in adult occupant protection and 44.9/49 in child occupant protection, reaffirming its leadership in the premium hatchback segment.

Tata Altroz Bharat Ncap Rating

This recognition further strengthens the Altroz’s safety legacy, as it was also the first hatchback to earn a 5-star rating from Global NCAP in 2020. Importantly, the Altroz has now become the first premium hatchback to achieve the highest safety rating under Bharat NCAP across all its powertrains – petrol, diesel, and CNG. It is also the only CNG-powered car in India to be awarded a 5-star rating.

Key Highlights

  • Built on Tata Motors’ ALFA (Agile Light Flexible Advanced) architecture, offering enhanced structural rigidity.

  • Safety features include six airbags, ESP, ISOFIX child seat mounts, 360° HD camera with Blind View Monitor, TPMS, SOS and Breakdown assistance, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and LED fog lamps with cornering function.

  • Premium features include a 10.25-inch Harman infotainment system, digital HD cluster, voice-enabled sunroof, wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, fast-charging USB ports, air purifier, and iRA connected tech.

  • Offers the widest powertrain options in its class – Petrol, Diesel, and iCNG with twin-cylinder tech – along with multiple gearbox choices including manual, DCA, and AMT.

What This Means for India

The achievement underscores Tata Motors’ focus on safety, a factor that is becoming increasingly important for Indian buyers. With hatchbacks still popular among urban families and young professionals, the Altroz’s 5-star B-NCAP rating gives it a strong edge over rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Hyundai i20, neither of which currently holds such credentials. The inclusion of a CNG variant with a top safety score also expands its appeal to cost-conscious yet safety-aware buyers.

Conclusion

By combining safety, premium features, and a wide range of powertrains, the Tata Altroz continues to set new benchmarks in the hatchback segment. Its latest Bharat NCAP 5-star rating not only strengthens its reputation but also reinforces Tata Motors’ position as a frontrunner in delivering safer cars for Indian roads.
