While the compact SUV segment in India has been focusing on safety with the Tata Punch achieving a 5 star Global NCAP safety rating, the segment has seen a lack of options that are BS6 compliant. With the Clavis set to launch into this crowded space, there is much curiosity about how it will stack up on the safety front. Tata has made safety a key part of its brand identity, while Kia has a reputation for building well built vehicles. This is a Clavis, and it is expected to come with six airbags and ADAS, but will that be enough to challenge the Punch's well established safety credentials? The question is, can Kia keep up with or surpass Tata's safety standards, and how much will safety ratings matter to buyers considering these two vehicles against one another?
