Hyundai Grand i10 Nios NCAP crash test rating explained
The Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, as mentioned above, achieved a two-star rating for adult as well as child protection. The hatchback comes with standard dual front airbags as well as seat-belt pretensioners for both front occupants. Global NCAP has used the base "Era" variant of the Grand i10 Nios for the test.
According to Global NCAP, the Grand i10 Nios's structure and footwell area was rated unstable while the head and neck protection for adult occupants was rated as good. As far as chest protection goes, the driver received a "weak" rating while the front passenger secured an "adequate" rating.
The Nios also showed poor results for child occupant protection, according to Global NCAP. Hyundai does not have a recommended child restraint system and this is part of the reason why the Santro had a poor showing in this area. The tests showed poor protection for a three-year-old while an 18-month occupant had better protection. The hatchback does not come with standard ISOFIX child-seat anchors nor has three-point seat belts for all passengers. The Grand i10 Nios, however, complies with the Indian crash test regulations.
Along with the Grand i10 Nios, Global NCAP also conducted crash tests on the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso and the Kia Seltos in the current round of testing. Additionally, models like the Tata Nexon, Tata Altroz and Mahindra XUV300, Tata Tiago and Tigor were tested by Global NCAP earlier this year.
