Tata cars have been renowned for their safety, and in that regard, the Tata Altroz has now scored a full 5-star safety rating in its Bharat NCAP crash test. With this, it has become the safest premium hatchback, ahead of the Maruti Baleno, which scored a 4-star crash safety rating in July 2025. Notably, the pre-facelift version of the Altroz was crash-tested by Global NCAP in January 2020, where it received a 5-star safety rating. Here are the detailed Bharat NCAP crash test results of the Tata Altroz:

Compared to this, the 18-month-old dummy lost some points in the frontal crash test (7.90 out of 8 points), while fetching a full score in the side crash test. This is the main reason why the Altroz’s child safety dynamic score is 23.90 out of 24.
