Tata Aria Safety
Tata Motors have gone the whole hog in embellishing the Aria with top-notch safety features which only the cars in the Rs 30 lakh + bracket could boast of. They have put in active and passive safety features such as Traction Control, Electronic Stability Program and 6 airbags, which were till now available only in the high-end cars. Let’s have a look at all the active and passive safety features offered by the Aria
Active Safety features
• Disc brakes on all four wheels
• Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
• Electronic stability program (ESP) – ESP constantly monitors the steering inputs and compares it with the direction that the car is going in. On detecting loss of control due to acute understeer or oversteer, ESP steps in and applies braking force to the appropriate wheel and restores the car’s stability.
Traction Control System (TCS) – TCS prevents locking up of wheels under acceleration. This feature is extremely useful in low grip driving conditions. TCS detects loss of traction under acceleration and supplies adequate amount of torque to wheels based on amount of traction available at each wheel.
• Powerful projector headlamps for better visibility in the night
• Ultrasonic Reverse Guide System or Reverse Guide Camera (depending on the option you choose)
Passive Safety features
6 air-bags. The feature adds a fair bit to the cost of the car, but can make the difference between life and death in case of an accident
Hydroformed chassis members offer enhanced strength and rigidity with reduced weight
Crumple zones to absorb impact energy
Side impact beams within doors
