In a recent incident involving the Mahindra XUV700, the company detailed that the fire was caused by the installation of an aftermarket accessory. However, Tata Motors has yet to release such information or statements. 

3 More Tata cars caught fire in the past

Up to three Tata Punch cars have been hit by fire in the past. The latest incident occurred in Guwahati, Assam, when a punch caught fire in the middle of the road.

Car fires can occur in any make of a vehicle and are a serious safety hazard, so it is important to take great care when handling your vehicle. Most fires are caused by aftermarket installations or cable connections. It is important to note that such modifications may also affect the vehicle’s warranty.

The Tata Punch fire accident may have been accidental, but Tata Motors needs to investigate the matter and find out the root cause. The manufacturer can restore the trust of the purchaser by thoroughly investigating and investigating the cause. Tata is a customer-favourite brand for its build quality, and events like this could make customers reconsider their choices.

Tata Punch wasn’t the only one that caught fire. A video of Tata Nexon and an 11-month-old Tata Harrier catching fire has also surfaced online. In the case of the Tata Nexon, vigilant guards managed to extinguish the fire, but in the case of the Harrier, the car burst into flames in the middle of the road and the owner managed to escape. These accidents show how important it is to investigate the root causes of car fires to prevent such accidents in the future.

Since its launch in January 2023, Thar RWD has enjoyed great success in India. The Mahindra Thar RWD is more affordable, making it a top choice for buyers who want the rugged appeal of a Thar without the luxury of a four-wheel drive. The popularity of thar RWD is evidenced by the current wait time of up to 17 months. 

For the diesel version of the Mahindrathal RWD, which has a 1.5-litre diesel engine and a 6-speed manual gearbox, the waiting period is 17 months. In contrast, the petrol version of the Thar RWD has a much shorter wait time of just one month. This indicates that the diesel version is in high demand, despite the petrol version being more powerful but less efficient. 

Available in two variants, the Thar RWD Diesel features a smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine as opposed to the larger and more powerful 2.2-litre diesel engine of the Thar 4WD diesel. The Thar 4WD’s 2.2-litre diesel engine produces 130 horsepower, while the Taal RWD’s smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine produces a maximum output of 118 horsepower. Surprisingly, both diesel engines have the same maximum torque of 300Nm. 

Thar 4X2 launched to reach more customers

Unlike the Thar 4WD Diesel, which offers both a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Thar RWD Diesel is only available with a 6-speed manual transmission. Meanwhile, the Thar RWD petrol engine shares a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder medallion turbocharged petrol engine with the Thar 4WD petrol engine, delivering the same power and torque of 150 hp and 300 Nm respectively.

The 4WD version of the Thar will be offered in both hardtop and convertible body styles, while the RWD version will be limited to the hardtop body version. 

Maruti Suzuki Jimny is launching soon

Maruti Suzuki will soon launch the new Jimny in the Indian market. The new all-terrain vehicle is set to go on sale next month and should take most of the sales away from Thar. The Maruti Suzuki Jimny will likely have a long wait, but will likely remain significantly cheaper than the Thar.

In a bizarre accident, a Volkswagen Taigan overturned after crashing into a parked Tata Tiago. The accident was reported from Surat, Gujarat. It was an accident a long time ago, but I can understand how important the centre of gravity of a car is. 

The video shows a Volkswagen Taigan crashing into a parked Tata Tiago on the shoulder of the road. The force turned the army on its side. The video shows Taigun resting on the roof while Tata Tiago is still standing.

Witnesses said a Volkswagen Taigan crashed into the Tata Tiago at high speed. A medium-sized SUV overturned due to a collision between Tata Tiago on the right rear and Taigan on the left front. No injuries have been reported in this incident. Everyone got out safely. 

Why did it overturn?

A fast car that collides at a certain angle can become very unstable and roll over, which may also be due to the SUV’s high centre of gravity. We have not investigated the scene of the accident, so we cannot be certain. Because of their top-heavy construction, SUVs have more ground clearance than standard hatchbacks and sedans, making them prone to overturning. Be especially careful when driving an SUV at high speed. High ground clearance moves the vehicle’s centre of gravity away from the road, making the SUV unstable. As a result, driving around high-speed corners in an SUV can be nerve-wracking, but in a low-rise vehicle like a sedan, it’s perfectly fine. 

The high ground clearance of an SUV increases its tendency to tip over and tip over. So you have to be more careful when driving an SUV, especially when transitioning from a sedan. 

Top-rated cars

Both vehicles are the safest cars in their respective segments. The Volkswagen Taigan earned its perfect 5-star rating in the Global NCAP test, while Tata his Tiago hatchback earned a 4-star rating.

According to Global NCAP safety ratings, the Tiago is the safest car in its segment, earning him four stars for underfoot and construction despite the shaky ratings.

Tata Motors has one of the best model ranges in India in terms of safety ratings. Tata Tiago and Tigor have a 4-star safety rating, and Tata Altroz ​​and Tata Nexon have all 5-star safety ratings. The safety rating agency has yet to test other Tata vehicles such as the Harrier and Safari.

Taigun and Kushaq are tested under the new, more stringent global NCAP guidelines. For this reason, Taigan and Kushark are considered the safest cars on the market. Updated global NCAP crash test protocol evaluates both front and side impact protection for all models tested. Additionally, to achieve a full 5-star safety rating, the vehicle must undergo Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Pedestrian Protection, and Side Impact Protection ratings. 

Both cars have an adult safety rating of 29.64 out of 34 and a child safety rating of 42 out of 49. With front airbags and ESC as standard equipment, both cars achieved top marks.

Global NCAP reports that both vehicles have good head and neck protection for drivers and passengers. The driver’s chest protection was adequate, but the passenger’s chest protection was good. The driver and passenger knee protection was also good.
