A big selling point for the Nissan Magnite was its 4-star global NCAP safety rating, which in a segment where safety generally comes last after features and pricing. The lab crash test results have led to conversation about how they relate to real world safety scenarios. There are some who believe the rating gives them peace of mind, and represents a well built structure, while others are skeptical if it really represents the car's ability to protect occupants in a variety of accident scenarios that prevail on Indian roads. It also discusses the relevance of active vs passive safety features and how the Magnite’s safety package fares against competitors with lower ratings but a wider safety feature quotient.
