Bodyshell integrity: unstable; footwell area: stable
It appears that the Alliance is having a good time (or, should we say not-so-bad time?) in India. It all started with the Magnite receiving a positive response, followed by a 4-star ASEAN NCAP rating. Earlier this year, its French cousin Kiger also managed to draw attention with its contemporary styling based on Kwid’s winning formula, and now, a 4-star Global NCAP rating for the Triber.
The sub-4 metre MPV received a 4-star rating for Adult Occupant Protection and a 3-star rating for Child Occupant Protection. The tested model was equipped with two front airbags, 4-channel ABS, and front seatbelt reminder.
Adult Occupant Protection
For the adult occupant protection, the report said that the protection offered to the driver and passenger heads and necks was good. Driver’s chest showed marginal protection while passenger’s chest showed adequate protection. Driver’s knees showed marginal protection as they could impact with dangerous structures behind the dashboard supported by the Tranfascia tube while passenger’s knees showed good protection. Driver and passenger tibias showed adequate protection.
However, the bodyshell was rated as unstable and it was not capable of withstanding further loadings. The footwell area was rated as stable.
Child Occupant Protection
As for the child occupant protection, the report said that the child seat for a 3-year-old was installed FWF with the adult seatbelt which was not able to prevent excessive forward movement during the impact. Chest protection was average and the head protection was low as it was exposed during the crash. The 18-month-old CRS was installed with the adult seatbelt rearward facing, which offered full protection to the child occupant. However, the car does not offer ISOFIX anchorages, which contributed to the loss of points. Download the full report here.
