Nissan Tekton Scores 5 Star BNCAP Rating Ahead Of Launch

Disclaimer: The Nissan Tekton was not crash tested separately by Bharat NCAP. Instead, its 5-star safety rating has been carried over from the Renault Duster, as Bharat NCAP states that both SUVs are corporate twins with an identical body structure and safety equipment.

Nissan has secured a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating for the upcoming Tekton SUV ahead of its India launch. The SUV has been awarded 30.49 out of 32 points for Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and 45 out of 49 points for Child Occupant Protection (COP). 

Since the Tekton shares its platform, body structure, and safety equipment with the Renault Duster, Bharat NCAP has applied the Duster's crash test results to the Tekton.

The Tekton performed strongly in Bharat NCAP's assessment, scoring 14.49 out of 16 in the frontal offset deformable barrier test and a perfect 16 out of 16 in the side movable deformable barrier test. It also met the requirements of the side pole impact test, demonstrating high levels of occupant protection in multiple crash scenarios.

Standard safety equipment includes Electronic Stability Control (ESC), dual front airbags, side curtain airbags, side chest airbags, seat belt pretensioners, load limiters, ISOFIX child seat anchors, seat belt reminders, and pedestrian protection. Knee airbags and side pelvis airbags are not offered.

The 5-star safety rating applies to multiple Tekton variants, including Visia, Visia+, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, and Tekna+, with ESC, curtain airbags, pedestrian protection, and seat belt reminders offered as standard across the range.
