Nissan Magnite Earns 5-Star Global NCAP Rating, Strengthening Safety Credentials

Abu Dhabi : The Nissan Magnite proves its crash safety credentials, securing a 5-star rating from Global NCAP in adult protection and earning strong marks in child safety.

• Nissan Magnite scores 5 stars in Global NCAP crash tests.
• 32.31 points out of 34 for adult occupant safety.

The Nissan Magnite, one of the most affordable SUVs in the UAE, has now emerged as one of the safest in its class.

The compact crossover recently scored 5 stars in Global NCAP crash tests for adult occupant safety, making it a compelling option for budget-conscious buyers who value safety as much as style and efficiency.

Global NCAP Crash Test Results

Global NCAP, a respected vehicle safety testing authority, conducted comprehensive crash assessments on the Nissan Magnite.

• Adult occupant safety: The SUV secured 32.31 out of 34 points, a near-perfect score.
• Child occupant safety: It scored 33.64 out of 49 points, placing it among the better-rated models in its segment.

In the frontal impact tests, the driver’s head and neck received a “good” rating, while chest protection was also considered good. Passenger chest protection was rated “adequate.” The knees and tibia of front occupants showed strong safety performance.

Side impact assessments revealed “good” protection for head, chest, pelvis, and abdomen. However, the child safety evaluation noted that while the 18-month-old dummy remained safe during impact, the 3-year-old dummy sustained head injuries.

Safety Features in the Tested Models

Global NCAP tested three variants — base, mid, and top-spec.

While the base variant, with only 2 airbags, ABS, and EBD, managed just a 2-star score, the top variant achieved the full 5 stars thanks to its extensive list of safety features, which include:

• 6 airbags.
• ABS and EBD.
• ESC (electronic stability control).
• Auto-dimming day/night interior mirror.
• 360-degree camera.
• Blind spot monitoring and alert.
• Tyre pressure monitoring system.
