Tata Punch safety has set a new benchmark for affordable cars.
Securing a massive 5-star rating from Bharat NCAP this week. Scoring 30.58 out of 32 for adult protection, the 2026 facelift proves that “entry-level” doesn’t have to mean “low-security.” The Tata Punch safety suite now includes six standard airbags and ESC, making it one of the most resilient vehicles on Indian roads. This perfect score cements Tata’s lead in the safety-first movement dominating the 2026 car market.
- Adult Occupant Protection: 30.58/32; Child Occupant Protection: 45/49.
- Six airbags, ESC, and ISOFIX mounts are now standard across all trims.
- The “High-Strength” body shell remained stable during the 64km/h offset test.
- Achieved a perfect 24/24 score in child dynamic crash simulations.
- Beats rivals in the micro-SUV segment for side-pole impact protection.
👉 Why this matters: When a car this affordable gets 5 stars, it forces every other brand to stop treating “safety” as a luxury feature for the rich.
