Mumbai, 31 OctoberThe entry-level variants of Made in India models from Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor and Datsun score poorly in the latest round of crash testing conducted by Global NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme), a UK-based not-for-profit entity. It says there is ample scope for improving safety in these models. India has one of the largest number of road collisions in the world. The official count of accidents on the roads in 2018 was 461,000. That's an hourly average of about 53 or nearly one every second.While the WagonR and Ertiga received two stars and three stars out of five, respectively, the Santro and redi-GO got two and one star, respectively. The sixth round of the test, conducted as part of the 'Safer cars for India campaign' launched by Bloomberg Philanthropies and the FIA Foundation-backed GNCAP, chose the entry-level version of each model. As a result, only the Ertiga was fitted with at least two airbags as standard; the other models offered only a driver airbag. .
