Does the Tata Tiago’s high safety rating really mean real world protection?
The Tata Tiago has managed to get noticed for its impressive 4 star Global NCAP safety rating, which is rare at its price point. This has caused debates about whether crash test ratings really represent real world safety. While some say that the Tiago's sound build quality and safety features deliver actual protection in Indian roads. Some say that vehicle structure is less important than other factors, such as road design, driving behavior and emergency response. The discussion sometimes broadens into a comparison of the Tiago with competitors with lesser safety ratings but superior overall quality or reliability. It also raises questions about the trade off between safety ratings, build quality and other factors that go into making buying a budget car in India.
Absolutely! My friend had a nasty accident with his Tiago and got away with just minor injuries. It did its job protecting the occupants, but the car was totaled. Those 4 stars are not just for show.
The safety rating is great, but defensive driving is still the best protection. Reckless driving of a 4 star car will still be more dangerous than a 2 star car driven safely. It’s not a force field, but the Tiago gives you a good foundation.
I have my doubts over how much of this will hold true in real Indian conditions. I wonder if our roads are so chaotic that the controlled crash tests don't actually simulate what happens in a real accident here. While the Tiago might be safer than some, it’s not invincible.
It’s definitely a high safety rating, but I worry about long term durability. If your safe car is constantly in the shop for other issues, what good is it? In short I'd rather a car that is slightly less highly rated but one I can rely on day in and day out.
The Tiago’s safety, I think, is a game changer for the segment. It makes other manufacturers up their game. It's not perfect, but it’s helping to push the whole industry towards better safety standards for affordable cars.
