Ford Figo Aspire has fared much better as it had dual front airbags as its base variant (it has 6 airbags in its top trim). It scored 3 stars for adult occupant safety and 2 stars for child protection. It showed good build quality and much fewer potential injuries sustained by occupants.

Ward further said, "Ford's three star result shows that basic levels of safety are achievable as standard in the Indian vehicle market."

Last year the Global NCAP crash tests saw seven cars made in India fail horribly, proving the poor safety standards in India. The seven cars in India tested by Global NCAP received a 'zero star' rating included Hyundai Eon, Mahindra Scorpio, Maruti Suzuki Eeco, Renault Kwid versions 1, 2 and 3, and Maruti Suzuki Celerio. These are popular cars in the country.
