Though not horrible or poor scores in any way, it must be said that there is certainly room for improvement. Tata and Mahindra lead the way for safe cars in the Indian market, and there’s a long way to catch up for other companies! Despite a lower adult occupant score, as per these tests it seems like the Magnite is the way to go in terms of a comparison between both cars. Is safety a concern for you while purchasing a car?
