Tata Motors seems to take a jibe over the safety of cars in India. Days after taking an indirect taunt at Maruti S-Presso, the carmaker has once again taken to social media. Tata Motors taking it to Twitter,  quipped, “You can only wow some by just being grand on the paper. Make your drives #SeriouslyFun and awesome with the best-in-segment safety of New Tiago, rated 4 Stars by GNCAP."

Hyundai Grand i10 NIOS secured a moderate two-star safety rating in the latest round of crash tests conducted in Europe. Grand i10 NIOS proved better than the S-Presso. They even earned two stars for adult occupant protection and two stars for child occupant protection. "Driver and passenger’s knees showed marginal protection as they could impact with dangerous structures behind the dashboard supported by the Tranfascia tube," the test report read. The report further indicated that Hyundai refused to recommend Child Restraint Systems for the test which hampered Grand i10 NIOS from earning more stars. Maruti Suzuki S-Presso has failed to earn any stars in the latest round of safety rating tests conducted by Global NCAP. 

When tested for adult occupant protection, S-Presso failed to impress because it only gets a driver-side airbag as standard. Airbags and the protection they offer are an important part of how a car performs in the tests conducted by Global NCAP. The body shell of the vehicle and its footwell area was also deemed unstable.
