The Brezza and Venue might be selling in large quantities but the XUV300, in my opinion, is the best looking in its segment. It now joins the ranks of Tata Nexon, as the SUV scored 5 stars in Global NCAP’s #SaferCarsForIndia crash tests. The XUV300 achieved the highest combined result with the highest score in both the adult and child protection categories.
The tested car was equipped with dual front airbags, 4-channel ABS, front seat belt pretensioners, seat belt reminder, and ISOFIX anchorages.
Mahindra is the second Indian manufacturer to achieve Global NCAP’s coveted five star status and the XUV300 scores the highest combined crash test result of all the cars we’ve tested in India to date. We are delighted with this hugely positive outcome in our #SaferCarsForIndia campaign. – David Ward, President & CEO, Global NCAP

Child Occupant Protection
As for Child Occupant Protection, the XUV300 scored 4 stars. The report said that the child seat for a 3-year old was installed FWF with ISOFIX and top tether and was able to prevent excessive forward movement during the impact offering fair protection to the chest. The 18-month old CRS was installed with ISOFIX and support leg and protection offered to a 1.5-year old dummy was good. More information here.
