Alejandro Furas, Secretary General of Global NCAP said,
“Global NCAP welcomes Hyundai to the five star club in the Indian market. This relevant result confirms the manufacturer’s policy of improving safety performance in emerging markets. The effort to bring these improvements from the basic version is a remarkable step forward. We encourage Hyundai to continue in this line and bring the highest safety performance to the most affordable models and improve the availability of ADAS technologies in its entire model range worldwide.”
David Ward, President of the Towards Zero Foundation said,
“As the #SaferCarsForIndia campaign reaches its conclusion it is very satisfying to see the trend for five star safety performance continue with the Hyundai Verna. Maintaining this safety momentum is an important step for the auto industry in India. It will be interesting to see how the remaining #SaferCarsForIndia models perform in our crash testing before Bharat NCAP begins its own testing later in the year.”

The #SaferCarsForIndia campaign was launched by Global NCAP in 2014 with the objective of promoting safer vehicles in the country. Between 2014 and 2023 Global NCAP has completed more than sixty safety assessments which have acted as an important catalyst in the safety improvement of Indian cars. www.globalncap.org
