Under its Safer Cars For India Mission, Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP) has crash-tested several made-in-India cars and awarded them appropriate safety ratings. The non-profit organization has helped spread awareness about car safety in emerging car markets, and recently, it tested more vehicles, thus updating its safety chart for Indian cars.

Mahindra XUV700 has an adult safety score of 16.03 out of 17 points, and a child safety score of 41.66 out of 49 points. This translates to a 5-star adult safety rating and a 4-star child safety rating.
