AutoExec Summary
Global NCAP has condemned the safety standards of entry-level hatchbacks sold in developing markets, particularly in India. Models from manufacturers like Hyundai, Nissan, and Suzuki were tested, revealing poor safety ratings. The Datsun Redi-Go received a one-star rating due to its unstable body structure and inadequate driver protection. In contrast, the Hyundai Santro scored two stars, while Maruti Suzuki’s WagonR and Ertiga achieved two and three stars, respectively. Global NCAP emphasised the need for improved safety measures in these markets.
