New Delhi, April 3 : Safety is always a priority for all of us when it comes to a personal vehicle. No matter how luxurious or stylish a car may look, if it is poor in safety ratings, one should not consider buying it, especially for a family car. India has come a long way in terms of vehicle safety, as even a few years back the Indian cars were very low on built quality as well as safety features, making them highly unsafe on an event of a road crash that heightened fatality rates.

However, now all the cars sold in India are required to have a standard minimum safety rating in place as per the Global NCAP crash tests, while a slew of safety features are mandatory. Here, is the list of the top 5 cars that have received highest safety ratings in the latest Global NCAP crash tests in the current year of 2023. It is to be noted, that all the below mentioned cars attained overall 5-star safety ratings, but with different points from the Global NCAP. BMW Officially Announces To Launch 22 Models in India Including Cars, Bikes and EVs in 2023; Find Key Details Here.
