The industrialist’s tweet went viral and netizens’ comments started pouring in
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

Why not adopt RS-NCAP (Rohit Shetty-NCAP) standard for vehicle safety in India!

The Scorpio-N, which debuted in June 2022, 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. Two additional body-on-frame vehicles from Mahindra, Thar, and Marazzo, each received a 4-star rating in 2020 and 2018.
