With 10 million Twitter followers, the head of the Mahindra group is a social media sensation. Anand Mahindra frequently grabs attention for his inspirational tweets and consistent engagement with his followers on social media. He frequently gives modest, humble answers to the questions posed by his followers.
The craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal of Mahindra automobiles are well-known. It is reasonable to say that Mahindra vehicles are extremely trustworthy and safe. Mahindra Scorpio N received a 5-star Global NCAP crash test rating under the organization’s new criteria, which evaluate frontal and side impact protection, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and pedestrian protection.
In a tweet from @Autocar Professional, it was mentioned,
Mahindra Scorpio N earns 5-star Global NCAP crash test rating under vehicle safety body’s updated protocols which assess frontal & side impact protection, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) & also pedestrian protection
To this, the proud chairman thanked his R&D team and responded,
My heart is swelling with pride in our R&D team who decided we would be second to none in the world when it came to safety. They then just went to work & made that aspiration a reality. I bow low in gratitude to them
Just when Anand Mahindra was feeling proud of the safety norms of his Mahindra vehicles, a man came up with a warm and kind compliment
The tweet also involves an association with Rohit Shetty’s Singham film series,
Referring to the movie, one of his followers tweeted,
“Mr. Rohit Shetty needs to find other cars for the stunt scene in his movies the mighty Scorpio is super safe”
Elated by this compliment, Anand Mahindra responded to the user on Tuesday
He wrote,
“That’s the funniest and biggest compliment we could ever hope to receive…”
The industrialist’s tweet went viral and netizens’ comments started pouring in
The updated crash test guidelines for the Global New Car Assessment Programme (GNCAP) went into effect on July 1, 2022. First body-on-frame SUV to receive a 5-star rating was the Scorpio-N.
On December 12, the findings of the crash tests were made available. It states that the Mahindra Scorpio-N obtained three stars for child occupant protection and five stars for protecting adult occupants. The Maruti Suzuki Swift, on the other hand, only scored one star for the protection of both adult and child occupants.
After the XUV700 and XUV300, the Scorpio-N, which made its debut in June 2022, is Mahindra’s third SUV to receive a 5-star rating. In 2020, the Mahindra XUV300 got India’s first “Safer Choice” Award (from GNCAP), becoming the brand’s first SUV to do so, and in 2021, the XUV700 did likewise. In 2020 and 2018, Thar and Marazzo, two more Mahindra body-on-frame vehicles, each achieved a 4-star rating.
