Adult Occupant Protection Results
The Altroz scored 15.55/16 in frontal offset deformable barrier tests and 14.11/16 in side impact movable barrier tests, ensuring minimal risk of injury. The car also cleared the side pole impact evaluation with stable cabin integrity, confirming Tata’s strong focus on build quality and safety engineering.
Child Occupant Protection Results

- Dynamic Testing: 23.90/24
- CRS Installation: 12/12
- Vehicle Assessment: 9/13
Both rearward-facing setups for 18-month-old and 3-year-old dummies performed excellently in crash simulations.
Safety Features in Tata Altroz
The tested models included the Pure CNG MT, CRTV S CNG MT, and Accomplished S DMT, weighing around 1,474 kg. Bharat NCAP confirmed the safety rating is valid for petrol, diesel, and CNG trims.
Key standard safety features:
- 6 airbags (front, side, and curtain)
- Seatbelt pre-tensioners with load limiters
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Pedestrian protection tech
- Seatbelt reminders for all passengers
- Manual front passenger airbag deactivation for safe child seat installation
Why the Altroz Stands Out
With consistent 5-star safety ratings and segment-leading protection, the Tata Altroz rivals even larger cars in crash safety performance. Tata’s approach of offering standard safety assists and multiple airbags across trims has made Altroz a benchmark for safety in India’s hatchback market.
