Tata Motors has just bagged another five-star safety rating in its kitty and this time it was for the Tata Nexon facelift alongside the Curvv and Curvv EV from the Bharat NCAP. The Tata Nexon facelift has scored a five-star safety rating from BNCAP, replicating the similar score as its coupe SUV siblings. The Tata Nexon facelift is available in petrol, diesel, CNG and electric powertrain choices. The Nexon CNG competes with rivals such as the Maruti Suzuki Brezza CNG in the sub-compact SUV segment of the Indian passenger vehicle market.

While the CNG cars have been finding an increasing number of takers across India, owing to the lower cost of ownership they offer, there are concerns about the safety of this powertrain technology, as the CNG is also highly combustible and the CNG versions of the vehicles carry one or two CNG cylinders onboard alongside the conventional petrol tank, which is also highly combustible.
