The bodyshell was rated as unstable and it was not capable of withstanding further loadings. The Footwell area was rated as unstable. In terms of child occupant protection, the chest and head protection were good. The Tigor EV comes standard with dual airbags, seat belt reminder for the front passenger seats, ABS and EBD.

Official statement

Alejandro Furas, Secretary-General of Global NCAP said, “Tata has shown consistent safety improvements throughout its fleet range. The Tigor demonstrates that improvements are also possible with EV models, which can pose a technical challenge because of the electric powertrain system. Tata should be recognized and applauded for this commitment to improving their vehicles in response to Global NCAP’s call to democratize vehicle safety.” David Ward, President of the Towards Zero Foundation said,  “It is deeply satisfying to see Tata’s continuing commitment to safety as they innovate with new power train technologies in order to achieve wider environmental and sustainability goals. “Safety and sustainability improvements are possible for all manufacturers operating in the Indian market, and Global NCAP would encourage them to follow Tata’s lead.”
