Global NCAP has awarded the Tata Nexon facelift the second-highest score ever for adult and child occupant safety in its 'Safer Cars For India' campaign, which began 10 years ago. Despite more stringent norms, the Nexon scored 32.22 points (out of a maximum of 34) for adult occupant protection (AOP) and 44.52 (out of 49) for child occupant protection (COP), resulting in a 5-star rating.

In the front impact, side impact, and side pole impact tests, the Nexon facelift provided adequate protection in all aspects, except for the chest area in the side pole test. Notably, the Nexon facelift significantly improves upon its predecessor's child occupancy score; the previous Nexon was awarded 3 stars for COP in 2018. In the latest tests, both the 3-year-old and 18-month-old dummies were reported to receive almost full protection in the front impact tests and side impact tests.
