Top 4 Safest Hatchbacks You Can Buy In India
SUVs are all the craze lately, and manufacturers are cashing in by selling overpriced, oversized crossovers, which are no more capable than a good-old hatchback. So, while everyone is shelling out for the SUVs, it’s your chance to lap up the overlooked and underpriced hatchbacks. What’s more? You don’t have to compromise on safety either. So, here are 4 hatchbacks with at least a 3-star rating from Global NCAP. 3 of them even have a double-digit safety score.

1. Tata Altorz
The Tata Altroz scored 16.13 points out of 17 in adult safety for a star rating of 5 stars and 29 out of 49 for child safety and a rating of 3 stars.
The Altroz has petrol-manual, petrol-automatic, turbo petrol-manual and diesel-manual powertrain options with ex-showroom prices ranging between Rs. 6.29 lakh and Rs. 10.0 lakh.
