The business tycoon’s tweet went viral in an instant
And that makes Rohit Shetty best QA to test vehicles going for NCAP ratings. Congratulations to Rohit as well 👏👏👏.
Scorpio N is now R-NCAP also.😃— Sunil Patwal (@sunilpatwal) December 13, 2022
I don't know why NCAP even tests M&M cars.
Rohit Shetty using them in his films extensively for stunt sequences proves their safety.— Ahsan (@AHSANKHARBAI) December 12, 2022
Scorpio is the super safest car in all I have used. Thanks

The Global New Car Assessment Programme’s (GNCAP) new crash test protocols took effect on July 1, 2022. The Scorpio-N was the first one-on-frame SUV to receive a 5-star rating.
The crash test results were made public on December 12. According to it, the Mahindra Scorpio-N received five stars for protecting adult occupants and three stars for child occupant protection. The Maruti Suzuki Swift received one star for both adult and child occupant protection.
The Scorpio-N is Mahindra’s third SUV to obtain a 5-star rating after the XUV700 and XUV300. The Mahindra XUV300 became the company’s first SUV to receive a 5-star adult safety rating in 2020, India’s first “Safer Choice” Award (from GNCAP), and in 2021, the XUV700 received the same.
