<script async="" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>This were the first set of tests done by the car safety organisation in 2017 and the tests were done on the base variants of both the cars that were crashed. Global NCAP has been conducting crash tests on many Indian car models since 2014 in order to push the safety standards in India.

At 64 kmph the Chevrolet Enjoy failed the test with zero star rating for adult occupant protection. The car's base variant does not have airbags and a poor structure resulting in high injury to front passengers in an accident. However, the car did get 2 stars for rear seat child occupant protection.
David Ward, Secretary General of Global NCAP in an NDTV report said, "There is nothing to enjoy about a zero star safety score and GM should be embarrassed that they are selling cars with such inadequate levels of occupant protection to Indian consumers."
Even last year another car made by Chevrolet, Beat, had also failed to pass the Latin NCAP crash test.

Ford Figo Aspire has fared much better as it had dual front airbags as its base variant (it has 6 airbags in its top trim). It scored 3 stars for adult occupant safety and 2 stars for child protection. It showed good build quality and much fewer potential injuries sustained by occupants.

Last year the Global NCAP crash tests saw seven cars made in India fail horribly, proving the poor safety standards in India. The seven cars in India tested by Global NCAP received a 'zero star' rating included Hyundai Eon, Mahindra Scorpio, Maruti Suzuki Eeco, Renault Kwid versions 1, 2 and 3, and Maruti Suzuki Celerio. These are popular cars in the country.
